halmotors Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Here's my new 10g AGA. It's in my nephew's bedroom, so exuse the spongebob stickers...specs after the pics. Specs: 10g AGA tank Small Whisper HOB filter (I already had it, so I used it) Approx. 10# LS, 10# LR 28w 10K PC, 28w Actinic 03 PC Various critters so far, etc., etc... Anyway, that's it so far. I'll update as things change. Link to comment

Deleted User 8530 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Do we have Any Specs? Link to comment
halmotors Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 *feels loved* The hood...I have absolutely no idea, insofar as to say that it's old. It holds three 28w PC bulbs, two on one ballast, the third on another (for dusk/morning light, I imagine). but the middle bulb doesn't work for some reason, so I'm running at only 2/3 the available light. If I didn't have the Aquaclear on there, it would fit the top of the tank like a glove. The temp. never gets up above 80 degrees, either, which is nice. Specs? There isn't much for specs right now, but here goes... 10g AGA tank Approx. 10# LS Approx. 10# LR 56w of PC lighting, 1 10K, 1 Actinic 03 200w Visitherm heater Aquaclear 200 with Marc Weiss Silicate+Phosphate Absorber Rio 90 powerhead with duckbill attachment Various snails and hermits Two small patches of green star polyp One large clump of Halimeda One small, red unidentified anemone (I think it's a rock flower, but I'm not entirely sure) One lonely feather duster That's about it for now. I'll update as I get more things in it. It's not done for rock, either; I'll be adding more as I get it. I already have a decent population of copepods in the tank, and I'm getting through my bout of brown algae, so it should be rockin' pretty soon. Thanks for the comments! Link to comment
just dave Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It is a Custom Sealife unit (got two of them.) It can run 32 w bulbs as well and the ballasts are in the top under the plate that the cords run out off. Link to comment
halmotors Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Good ol' CSL...I was thinking it would be a good little hood for an HQI retrofit, right in the middle where the third bulb used to be. Any suggestions on what brand, how to do it, etc? Link to comment
halmotors Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Okay, here's an update on the 10g. I added some new stuff, and whatnot. Here are some pics with captions. One pic I couldn't get was that of the pistol shrimp I put in there. He kinda has the butt of a cleaner shrimp, except orange and white, and the rest of his body is orange. He's about an inch long, and he's fairly neat. I call it a tongue leather, but it's just a toadstool. It looks like the rock is sticking it's tongue out at you. You can also see a pair of green buttons on the rock, too. My little hammer. It's enjoying it's spot on the sand. Full tank shot. My little button coral. It seems to be happy in that spot, and the crabs leave it alone. The bubble. This thing is loving the position it's on in the tank. It's just so big and bushy and happy. That's it for now. Comments?

ChriX Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hehe, I like the 'tongue leather', will agree with you on that one! It does look like that. Tank looks like it's coming along great. Link to comment
