travisurfer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 wow that tank is cool i would replace the bioballs with liverock rubble though. what kind of lighting do you have? Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanx for the advice I am new to picos I just have a corallife 19watt light PC . I would like a better light but not sure what one to go with or make my own. Would also like to know of a way to surface skim or break the water surface without lowering water level. Link to comment
MGXsport Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Looks really green. Is that because of the light or the camera settings? Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I think it is the cam in person its not that color I thought it looked wierd. Link to comment
rleon3003 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 is the bulb an all daylight or 50/50? i dont think you need a better light. you have 19w per gallon which im sure is enough for anything. Link to comment

DementedLullaby Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Very nice looking aquarium. Some real potential there. Link to comment
Tentacles Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 is that really one gallon? its looks more like 2 or 2.5 based on the height of it next to the electricity outlet. my outlets are about 5 inches tall and my 2g is about 8 inches tall, that looks dead on like a 2g (kinda looks taller than my 2g, so maybe 2.5g then) unless the tank is weird and only 3 inches deep, and based on the size of the im guessing aquaclear 20? by the looks of it, it just looks bigger than 1 gallon, i dont know tho just a general observation looks nice Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 why is it green???? doesnt look like an outbreak.... Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 The green is just the cam the pics come out greenish for some reason it is clear in person. And went to reef central and vol calculated the tank and is 1.5gal to be actual. but thanxs for the good words I went to the lfs today and the had a bucket of broken LR and Tonga branch so I bought some and sculped it for a new look in the tank but I put it in my refrugim under my 90gal for cultureing{spell?} before setting it up with the new look will post more when done.

clifford513 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Nice little tank! Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Here are some Better pics with out the green. Cam was set on low quality so thus the green. This was the old setup Over flow, sump, and protien skimmer. Not sure if I should go back with this setup minus the skimer and do a fuge instead. New pics of the rock work wating for a week or two in the 90gal fuge to get some life in them then back in the in the 1.5 gal. Link to comment

MGXsport Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Looks better with the different camera. I would probably but about 40 watts over it if you can fit it into the hood. Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanx Just had some of the wood around so what the hell not the best stand but works. Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well I had to take it down I had new tile put in the house and it was getting dust every where. I am going to re set it up with a 26watt light and a sump/refuge with one 13watt light on that It will have a built in overflow, all the plumbing is done for it and I also painted the back black just waiting on the light to come in.
