gotboostedvr6 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 ill have some 35 watt MH retrofit setups for sale soon 8k, mabe 9200k, 10k and 12k. pricing will be around $114-$118 ready to plug in!!! Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 How big is the fixture and bulb? can they be reduced in size by taking off a reflector or something?would it be able to be crammed inside one of those nice decorative pendants that you can buy from home depot? here is an example of what i am talking about...they do have all different sizes and styles but something along these lines...

15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 I finally was able to catch a descent pic of this guy, he crawled into this shell about a week or so ago and i have been trying to catch him in the open...Dont mind the darkening around him i used photoshop to take the reflection of my camera out so it didnt look that bad.

15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 just wait till you see the overflow im building... I am building it right now and taking lots of pictures, I will be ready to post tomorrow. I am changing everything into a 2.5 gal AGA with a built in overflow box because i am sick of scratching the acrylic when i try to get the coraline off. I am also building a hood for it with 3 20w coralife 50/50 mogul base bulbs. I think 60w total should be enough for a 2.5 gal The 9" one on the right Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ok i started building the overflow for my 2.5 gallon I molded the acryllic with a heatgun and i nailed a few 2x4's together so that i could get perfectly strait curves. Here are a few pics of me building it. And here is the gluing and silicone process. I guess i forgot to take pics of the inside part...I just bent a 2.5 inch piece of acryllic in half and put it in the corner and i drilled a ton of holes in the top down to the point that i dont want the water to get below.

15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 And here is a pic of the tank with everything all siliconed in there and a hole drilled in the bottom for the return tube: I am working on the lights tonight. I bought a 18 total watt coralife 6 inch thing with the ballast built in and i took it apart and spread out the bulbs and made room for another 13 watt 50/50 bulb so I will have 9w actenic 9w 10000k and 13w 50/50 on top I will also add a small powerfilter for flow but thats it. I am just going to switch everything that i have in my 2 gallon into this one and probably make the 2 gallon a mushroom tank of something. or a fuge for another tank im not sure yet. Link to comment
PhatSOB Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 not sure if Coralife changed the bulbs but the 20w Coralife 50/50s that I have are only 7.5" long Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Im just going by what the website says. but I used something else. Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Wow- I go on vacation for 10 days and come back and nobody has posted anything in my thread... man i guess my tank sucks. Oh well ill keep posting pics of it with coral in it anyways. Link to comment
rleon3003 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 nice tank! is that a blue neon goby? Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yea i had a firefish in there but the second i dropped him in my shrimp grabbed him and disappeared the neon goby seems to be quick enough to get away. Link to comment
ZeRo 91 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Just read your whole thread and let me tell you that you have one really nice tank and I love the diversity of corals that you put into, looks absolutly amazing. I was thinking about doing a 5.5 Gal myself, hopefully it will turn out as nice as yours. Keep it up and post more pics!! Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I just started a 5.5 gal last night I will start a thread and put some pics up. It is going to have a built in fuge by the way of putting a false wall and some baffles in to promote better flow from inlet to outlet... I just got done making a 10 gallon the same way but im just going to keep a mantis in it so im not going to go crazy on lights and corals. Thanks for the encouragement! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hows the tank doing? It was a inspiration for me to start a 2.5G! I was just amazed at how well yours turned out. Great job! texx Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Its still going well, since the last pic I have added another 18 watts of light, birds nest acropora, blastomus welsi, and some shield of god (pink metallic long tentacle) zoanthids. and a tiny piece of macro. Ill have some new pics up as soon as everything has opened up. Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I just put a tiny chili coral, yellow gorgonian, and a lord coral that is purple blue and red...Pics still to come. (I AM ALMOST OUT OF ROOM!!!!!) :::maybe I should have gotten a 5 gallon. Link to comment
cdckjn Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 GREAT JOB SO FAR. KEEPING IT GOING AND KEEP THE PICTURES COMING. Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks man, Yesterday I put a montipora another acro another blasto and some more zoanthids....I got a second job at a pet store so that now I can frag anything I want, but the store that I work at doesnt have anything cool so I have to talk to the guy that orders and have him get some cool stuff. P.S. Im still too lazy to get any new pics up because I now work 7 days a week almost 70 hours per week and im dead when I get home. but I promise new pics within this week. and I guess I should change my avatar.

mtfish Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Don't get bummed when no one responds, you have a nice tank going. I lost track of your lighting, what do you have going now? Are you still using the 20w coralifes? How about heat troubles, did that get better? Keep the updates coming,You've inspired me to start a 2.5 for my desk at work. Link to comment
15-and-6-GAL-NANO Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Ok here are some new pics. I have some more but Ill save them for later. Link to comment
