Wiring and built done!

 

It is not the best apearence light fixture I´ve built but I was on a short budget.

In the future I might add one more 24W T5 lamp, an ATI BluePlus.

 

Now I am about to decide if I scape with the rock from the other one of if use that one on the back chamber as bio-filtration and scape with new dry rock..

That's a great looking tank. If you have to break up those rocks I wouldn't use them for filtration. You could buy rubble and pack the back for that same purpose. You'll still need a rock or two to fill in the space. I love these wide tanks.

Love how simple it is, great tank :)

 

Thanks!!

 

Now it is time to add a few live stock.

 

I´m thinking about a maximini carpet for now.

 

About the lighting:

 

I like the colours and I think that as a single tube the ATI Coralplus does the job, but I´m thinking about add another lamp, probably a blueplus.

Tanks looking swift man !!! Digging the tank. I suppose it's time to start dosing Alk !!!

 

 

Yeh I know but I do not want to invest on a automatic doser for now..

I wouldn't think you'd need a doser. Just write down how much you're dosing daily and configure a schedule. Should only take a ml or two daily to keep things stable between water changes.

I already have the balling alk powder but don't know the amount needed for each gallon of tap water.

 

I have to use one reef calculator to find it out and test the effects on my tank.
