How you all livin? I have just purchased a 22g Hex tank and I am getting the ball rolling. So far I have the tank, stand, conopy, RO filtration setup and refractomoter. I am going to get 2 of Evilc66 PAR 38 led bulbs (20K, with 3 Blue and 2 white CREE LEDS). I am also trying to get a new or used Fluval G3 or G6 filter. That one is hard because not many people are selling them at a discounted price new or even used. Any way I want to use this tank for Chalice and acans mainly. Thats why im getting the blues in the lighting.

 

How do I get added to the HEX forum?

Cool little thread, I never seen such sweet hex's. I had a 5g hex thread somewhere on here but that thing has long since been gone.

 

EDIT:

http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...166638&st=0

I had to search for it but I found it. This tank sort of got off to a bad start since I had got the idea of putting shrooms through a blender from another thread. I basicaly put together a grage sale tank with spar junk I had laying around. Spending no kind of cash to get this thing running was pretty much the coolest thing about that tank.
