GRS123 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This is an old 10 gallon tank that has been collecting dust for years. I was getting ready to set it up when I found this contest. My 2 daughters will hopefully be helping with this project... that's why there's 3 drinks. Standard 10 gallon tank diy 70 w 14000k mh pendant light AquaClear 110 filter/pump/refug with 18watt light 50W heater Link to comment
Rene Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 What, no replies yet? It's very sleek looking with that fuge and the light stand. It should be interesting to see how you stock this thing. Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Welcome to N-R, and the contest. What do you plan on stocking? Link to comment
GRS123 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Rene- Glad to see someone's watching! RayWhisperer- Thanks for the welcome. The tank is going to be mostly softies. I do want to have a small frogspawn or hammer and a pink birdsnest. Also some type of monti cap. Fish are either going to be 2 small clownfish or a gobie/shrimp combination. I've added sand and some rock. I'll post pictures tonight. Link to comment
GRS123 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 The tank has 15 lbs of "bio-active"aragonite and 10lbs of cured dry rock. I made a 3 sided light shield/canopy to keep light out of the room. I still have to make doors for the cabinet. Link to comment

Rene Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 What is that big black thing with all the wires under the stand? Link to comment
GRS123 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 What is that big black thing with all the wires under the stand? That's an old computer case I'm using instead of a power strip. I mounted the ballast for the metal halide light and the old computer power supply(for the moonlight), inside the case to cut down on clutter. There's also a relay inside that turns the moonlight and refugium light on when the the metal halide turns off. Link to comment
