5.5gal Pico

Recommended Posts

I really enjoy my 10gal and it is coming along great.

 

I do however miss the 5.5gal and will be setting it back up!

 

5.5gal All Glass Aquarium

25W Finnex external control heater

Maxijet 600 PH

Wisper 10gal HOB filter

Lights??? I think I am going to make a hood to house 2 or 3 20W 50/50 screw in's.

I think I am going to try for the 3x20W for a lot of light.

With that much light I might have to get one of those little chillers on ebay

 

No fish in it this time!

 

I have not decided on what is going to go in it. Any suggestions?

 

MANTIS??????

Thanks for the link. I am going to try and find some local.

 

As for the lighting I think I have decided to get a double socket for 2 20W 50/50 screw in's and I am going to try and get a small actinic floursecent tube in there as well so I can do a dusk/dawn affect. I just love the pics that people take with just the actinic light on!

 

Depending on the size of the stuff I may try and fit 3 50/50 screw in's in the hood.

 

Here is a link to a 50/50 bulb that I want to try:

It says:

 

Designed for use where space is limited but powerful lighting is desired.

 

A single ten watt Mini Compact Fluorescent gives the same output as a 50 watt incandescent bulb.

 

Self-ballasted, low operating temperature bulb fits a standard medium base.

 

High-intensity output 50% 10,000K daylight and 50% actinic 03 blue light enhances fresh and saltwater aquariums.

 

 

 

I am still looking for a 20W bulb though.

 

Now off to start planning the hood!!!

best of luck, I have a bunch of info about the 20w Coralife bulbs in my pico thread (see sig) if you want any, but I can't really help you find them in the US.
