acrab78 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yep, just saw that for the black friday deal. but I'm getting the stunner strips, reflectors and powersupply for a crackhead price. Where did you find this good deal? Can you put a link up? Am possibly looking to add a small strip of leds to my tank if the price is right. Thanks! Link to comment

frags4life Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nice pic of snowfakes, i can never get a good pic off my phone, those lights are gonna be insane! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Wait, you have 2 Clowns in a 5g tank? Aren't you worried about bioload? Pretty fish, though. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 It was of concern initially but from my exp with my NC12g I had way more than this and didn't have a problem with routine maintenance. That old tank of mine had 2 onyx clowns along with a few RBTA and GBTA. I'm pretty much done as far as livestock. If it becomes a problem it would make a perfect excuse for an upgrade Link to comment
beebes Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Tank looks amazing. Going to be beyond amazing once everything grows in. How did you build your adjustable overflow? Is it just an acrylic plate attached to another piece of acrylic bent to create tension with the back? Did you build it completely from scratch from flat acrylic, or did you start from some existing items that make it easier? Looking to build something similar for my tank and any tips would be appreciated. Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Looking forward to seeing how the lighting works out for you Link to comment

Looking forward to seeing how the lighting works out for you I can't wait myself! I see 3 clowns in this picture. It's the reflection off the glass making it look like 3, it's just two. Good eye Both the anem and the clowns will outgrow this tank.Great start, really nice RBTA, it has a nice color. Thank you Link to comment

somewhatshocked Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ha! I've been too busy in the planted world with Dwarf Shrimp and such the past couple years to do much documentation on the reef keeping front. Figure it's time to start doing so. Thanks bud!
