Gourami Swami Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well, I was not going to enter this contest, as I have a new 40 gallon AIO reef I started a month ago (which is doing great, just haven't posted it yet) But I was looking through a box of aquarium parts and realized I still have an AIO insert that I got with a Petco bowfront set I tore down a while ago. I also realized I had a dry 6 gallon tank, and turns out the AIO fits 100% perfectly in the tank. Figured what the hell, I have everything I need, might as well join the contest. I'm getting a late start here I realize, but I am pretty excited that I found everything I need equipment wise in my aquarium box, and just a few days before the cut-off. Here's what I've got so far... The tank: Aquatop 6g Rimless Low-Iron Bookshelf Light: Current USA Orbit Marine 18". Had this in my last 14.26 gallon build (contents of which are now in 40g) Filter: AIO Insert from Imagitarium 6.6g bowfront kit Pump: Stock Pump from Imagitarium kit Powerhead: Jebao OW10. Currently in my 40g, need to upgrade and then will move it over to this tank. Heater: Hygger 50 watt controllable titanium heater Have some cool ideas for a theme and aquascape as well, using only dead coral collected by a friend from the beach in the Dominican Republic. So this tank will be costing me very little, if anything at all! Here are my entry pics, dry setup 7 Quote Link to comment
devaji108 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 swamiji glad you found all this in the fish box....I knew there is a reason why we keep fish stuff around. never know when you will need it. I think this is going to be a good looking tank! just be careful and read the laws if your friends are on vacation and coming home with a suitcase full of dead corals would hate for them to get fined or worse. 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Did you change your mind? Is this tank wet or still just laying around? 1 Quote Link to comment
