cranfordrd Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Is that the lighting that came with the tank or did you retro it? Also, do you plan on putting glass over the top of the tank or are you going to leave it open? Link to comment
Kapelakin Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Sounds like a nice setup. Depending on how cold your house gets at night, the 50 watt heater might be a little on the weak side. you might consider exchaning for a 75 or 100 watt one. Link to comment
qsails Posted November 17, 2002 Author Share Posted November 17, 2002 That is the light that came with the tank. I think I will upgrade to a 10,000 daylight. my plan right now is to leave the tank open. I might get a cover if I am going to be away but I am not sure. Link to comment

TurtleWax Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I really like that nice rockwork. Link to comment
qsails Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Thanks. I was thinking of getting more but i like the way it looks now. It will probably look better with corals Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Those tanks are very cool. I was planning on gettin' one myself but decided to just start from scratch with a good ol' standard 10 gal. I'd probably add more live rock to that.. but if you like it, forget what I said.

qsails Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 My cycle is almost complete. Will adding new rock start the cycle over? Link to comment
