Obsessed Reefer Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Why yes actually. I hope to have this running by Friday. Here is my rundown. -Tank, Filter, and top is set to go. -I found a computer desk for my computer, so I should have my room set tonight. -My lights should be here by Thursday. -I got a blue background for my tank. -I plan to take some rock from my NC, but it only has 10.8 pounds. So I might have to buy some Display rubble from my lfs. -Sand from my NC. That's about it for now. Link to comment

halfpint Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Looks good so far. I'm just waiting to see pictures of the tank with the light on it. What are the dimensionns of the tank? I'm thinking about setting one up after I move and I like to plan waaay ahead of time. I'm wanting to get together material costs for building a stand and hood. I'm thinking about making one with three screw in PC bulbs in the hood. Link to comment
rleon3003 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm thinking about making one with three screw in PC bulbs in the hood. hey halfpint. i was having a problem with lighting my 2.5g because i couldn't find the right bulb and i read what you said and it sounds like a good idea. i think i'll be doing this as well. cuz these bulbs are so much cheaper than others. i'm gonna go do a sketch in paint and post in on my thread, but thanks for the idea Link to comment
pitbullpooch Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 um...did u c wat u posted? u made it seem as if there was another 2.5g! that u have inspired. i too have a 2.5g thread i just started last week and i have never heard or seen ur tank. i too dont seem to be mean or anythinh but ur tank did not inspire me. it was obsessed Reefer that inspired me haha um no if you read and know english you would see that he said "I wonder if my tank was any inspiration to all these new ones around". that no where near sounds like he implied that he was saying he inspired another persons tank.
