[deadrock]

lol very good pic how hong it take u do that

like 3 min lol

and the skimmer is an aquatic life nano good for up to 30 gallons so i think it will be sufficiant 5g system

 

[deadrock]

here's the tank w/diy led the par will be o the tank as soon as i figure out a fixture

here is the fuge up and running with skimmer it works well but i dont recomend for a dt tons of micro bubbles

this is a kenya just to tell me when my tank is ready

and the tank and stand ghetto fabulous just to hold me over till i get the pimp stand built . im getting anxious to get this running today ,i just need to run down to elite to get a few things and pick up some pipe dope from hd or lowes . also gonna pick up a new fuge light the ''bell'' style seems to be working much better

I love how your sump is bigger than the tank. All those plants should keep your tank nice and clean.

 

[deadrock]

thats the plan , im hopeing that my w/cs will be at a minimum of1x or 2x a month

the microbubbles should be normal until the slime coat build up. Keep it how it is, I like it. Any info on the LED fixture?

Looking super sweet. I love the overflow design. Assuming you painted it, what kind of paint did you use?

 

[deadrock]

krylon fusion its safe to use under water and it doesnt break down under uv it works on pretty much everything lol glass ,pvc,wood,metal,acrylic,

I knew a guy in arizona who had a 5 gallon tank with a 20 gallon fug.

I really like the design. I may have to borrow it one day. I wanted to do something similar in my pico but decided to back out until I had a little more experience.

honestly this will be easier upkeep just harder to start because of the diy involved but i bought the 10g from petco for 10$ and got the glass cut at lowes and then it was just a matter of siliconeing it in place which was rather simple aswell just make sure you are useing the correct silicone 100% silicone

the led over the pico

the cost on this is kinda hard to detemin i got all of this for next to nothin but if you were to build this i would cost about 50-60$ it would be a better choice to build cree led fixture with a meanwell driver and end up with a much better light

 

[deadrock]

ok so im trieing to figure out what im gonna do with the par 38 as far as a fixture ??? its too big for most of the pendants at lowes and hd

I knew a guy in arizona who had a 5 gallon tank with a 20 gallon fug.

At one point, I had a 30g tank with a 180g refugium.

 

[deadrock]

thats the best way to go lol

 

[wirick181]

[deadrock]
