Coral crazys' 2.5 Gallon tank with MH, will update often..Will have pics.!

[coralcrazy]

yea...they are the same fan..and they both are running on the same adapter...but it would reduce the power output of the plug..am i correct? I mean 2 fans draining from one plug would make the fans techinically work at half speed. If so i am not going to do that.

Very sleek looking tank

[coralcrazy]

hey veggieheaven...you will see what your bf is making..don't make fun of it..It will be a master piece, more then i spend on you anyway

[coralcrazy]

[CGNano]

Still planning on a Pom-pom?

[coralcrazy]

[pet_doc]

Looks good man. Back in my day we were just advanced enough to have the absolut bottle with a highliter and a black light...where are you getting the mh?

[coralcrazy]

mh? there is no mh except in my fish tank..I got it from a waveguy2...if this is about the lamp there i no MH lighting for it

[coralcrazy]

okay here is the picture of the from hogwinslow hood before i stain it..It kind of looks like a birdhouse..;p It's also a flip top pretty sweet... this is the front of the hood

[coralcrazy]

inside of the hood

[coralcrazy]

the fliptop..

[Fishfreak218]

i thought you were putting Metal Halides on it????

[coralcrazy]

I am... LOL this is just the hood

[ProFlatlander15]

looks good, the canopy is bigger than the tank! lol. looks good, hog winslow has some good stuff. cant wait to see the tank up n runnin

[coralcrazy]

hahah yea... it is bigger then the tank because of the fact i have MH and they need to be a certain distance away from the water..plus i need space for the iceprobchiller mod..i will post pics soon..

[Fishfreak218]

ooo ok gotcha...its just what you said before you said their is no MH thats just on your fishtank...(or sumthing like that)

[coralcrazy]

put the ballast on the fliptop here is a pic..

[coralcrazy]

the only thing that i don't like is that i had to put the fans on the outside of the hood..my drill was to big to work well...oh well no big deal....

[CGNano]

So far so good.

 

 

Thinking of entering the contest?

[coralcrazy]

now the final pic for a while will be the MH lighting unit itself.. here it is..

[coralcrazy]

i would but i think it is only for AGA or minbow aquariums..not custom aquariums

[coralcrazy]

hood on the tank..

[coralcrazy]

hood with MH fired up...

If the rules don't change too much, you should be allowed to enter a custom built tank in the OPEN catagory as long as it is 2.5 gallons of display. Still, I'm not sure yours will be apilicable since you already built it and are putting it together.

 

still, nice looking pico... the hood is a bit too tall for my taste, and I would have mounted the ballast out of sight, but still, very nice work.
