jfumia Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 My paint attempt at drawing my idea.... think it will work? remember the racks only span 20" in length so they are structurally sturdy as opposed to longer spans. side.bmp front.bmp Link to comment

jfumia Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Ok getting Live Rock tonight, since this is a BB tank I want to use mostly snails as a clean up crew. Any recommendations on how long to run lights for? My reef runs 10hrs. would this tank benefit from say 12hrs? or keep it the same as the main tank? more pics to come Thanks!! Jeremy Link to comment
Mr. Fosi Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Depends on if you end up with algae problems. No algae problems = go for 10-12hrs. Sweet project. I bow before your frugality! EDIT: What about $$ for the wood? Link to comment
mahi mahi boy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 A box of screws aren't cheap either nowadays because of metal prices. What are you prop'n? Nice tank BTW. Link to comment
jfumia Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Light was $70 and the supplies to build the stand and pvc was just under $30.

jfumia Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hey!! I am still here. LOL just fell off the face of the earth for a while...ok maybe not! Well the frag tank is going real well, other than fighting a pretty decent temp swing. I will post pics of this and my nano-cube asap! Sorry! Jeremy Link to comment
