Smithjm5 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Love the idea of the lily pipes... eventually hope to do the same. Thanks, I love the look of them, hopefully they do what I need them to, and I just ordered the filter so that should be here tomorrow night! Nice, good job Thanks! Link to comment

Spiderguardnano Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 sick would you say there better than your old lights?? Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 sick would you say there better than your old lights?? So far I'd say yes, there more controllable and have two separate chords for the different channels, and you can get a controller to set up sunrise/sunset. There also silent, and sleeker looking than the others. The only thing I guess you could say the other's had the advantage was that the nano 60's were full spectrum. But so far these are pretty awesome lights! Link to comment

Smithjm5 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Canister filter just got delivered, bigger than I thought it be, but looks solid! Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 So I got the filter all set up, it took forever because I had to DIY the the intake pipes because they were way to long. I want to eventually get some lily pipes for a cleaner look, but for now it'll work. the only thing was the tubes that came with the filter weren't all that long so I couldn't put the return where I wanted but I'll fix it when I get the lily pipes. So far I like the filter a lot it's dead silent, and has adjustable flow, and the pump is located outside of the canister so you have more room for media, for now I'm just using the media it came with. But here's a pic of it underneath my stand. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Nice tank! I'm liking the panorama way better. Interesting cobalt filter, have to update on performance and ease of maintenance. Link to comment
