coralcrazy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 so after taking a break, i have started a new 2.2 gallon tank. I will consist of zoas, acan, ecnh, pulsating xenia and of course the infamous rainbow monti as the center, it has been running for a while, i was using 2X9 PC lighting on the tank, but i just got a 70 Watt MH arch lamp mod from another member, so this tank should be very nice, i worked hard and many hours for this so i hope you enjoy.. The tank will have an iceprobe as well also contain a fuge. Here are some pics for now.. the tank is stocked due to b16's tank buy, but i am trying to add some center pieces such as the watem, rainbow monti, and rics. Please stay tuned, i will update this thread soon . I still haven't figured out a fish for this tank, it will either be a pistol shrimp goby and pistol shrimp, or a yellow clown goby. the link for the MH light i got is here.... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=93197 Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 nope..i got it from a real shady fish store ..... Link to comment
MiNiReFeRx Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 nice tank like the black sand Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Did you mod the tank? It looks like there is some excess silicone on all the corners like there was some corner braces at one time. Link to comment
schaadrak Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Sweet. 70W MH's are great for picos, you can keep them high enough off the tank that heat really isn't an issue. Link to comment
Brian da lion Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey coralcrazy, were there 4 black corner braces on that tank when you got it? I think that I used to have that tank. What store did you get it from? Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I think i got it at Fish Town in Ramsey, NJ. I got it cheap cause it was used .. I am now selling the lightfixture for 25$ shipped includes legs, not the MH lol the PC, also i got a 10K Ushio i belive bulb used for 3 months by previous owner or 30$ shipped Link to comment
Superdave Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I am thinking about the bracing corners/edging that have been removed and it seems I'm not the only one. I understand that there is little pressure on the walls of a tank that small/shallow and bracing is often a redundancy used by aquarium builders, but I would hate to see your tank come apart! Perhaps someone else more qualified/seasoned can determine if this really is risky. You're off to a great start--good luck! Link to comment
ashkeenon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi Ive got two of those cube tanks which used to consist of a beta set up when i bought them new from the LFS they did not come with any bracing at the corners guess its just because they are so small mines is an 8" cube. Just my 2 cents Ash Link to comment
