1.9 Gal Work Pico

[NicksAcrylicReef]

I finely got my little work pico tank going. Its 1.9 Gal completely DIY acrylic tank complete with acrylic hood w/ enclosed electrical compartment and an acrylic ring to go around the bottom to hide the stryfoam its sitting on. It has a minijet 404 pump for circulation, a 50 watt titanium heater and a 20 Watt 50/50 compact florecent bulb. I set it up for auto topoff however my float switch was busted so I have a new one comming. Here are some shots tell me what you think.

I like it. The double sided veiwing is a definite plus. Where did you get the short 50/50 20watt? I'd like to put two of those on my 2.5

ITs one of those screw in bulbs made by Coralife. I picked it up at a LFS but Dr Foster & Smith has them.

Your 50/50 is unusual, as opposed to the standard 2 yours has 4. Making it half the size of the ones I have seen.

Oh opps that pic was old im sorry the light in that picture was a 15 watt 6400 K bulb but it was too yellow

Darn, 40watts would have been perfect or me. Too bad.

I wonder if a 70W MH in my hood would melt it...
