Got bored, found some decent acrylic in Ridout's scrap bin. About $10 later and a month or so of 10minute work periods and here I am.
more pics
Specs/equip:
Tank: 24x12x10high. Not fully filled yet. Sides are 1/4" acrylic, bottom is 1/8"
appx: 12g if filled completely.
Attached is a fuge: 10" cube if I remember right..made that one too. Hard plumbed with a 1" OD acrylic tube inlet and 1.25"OD acrylic tube leading back to the tank.
Small pump taken from a Tetra intank filter pushing water into the fuge. Also a small in-tank sponge filter. All tank work was done by me. Drilling and bending was interesting.
Lighting: to come once I order. For now a standard 20" NO fixture mounted above tank. Soon to be 2 HO T-5's hanging above the tank, and 13W PC fixture in an enclosed hood above the fuge.
Also in the works gravity fed topoff ala SoMoney style.
Keep in mind this tank is right next to my bed with just about no sound. My computer fan is louder than anything in it.
Livestock: few misc mushrooms, soon to be my shroom prop tank.
misc snails (few nass. sp and a few others) maybe 2 or 3 hermits? And one huge red hermit in a 3" shell (when I can get pic can someone ID please).
Paired up Randall's shrimp gobies
tiger pistol
2 neon gobies (blue stripe, I think they're both males though, so if anyone wants to trade)
1 xsmall ocellaris from DavidM
1 mandarin (eats mysis :D)
1 peppermint shrimp to keep the aiptasia down
2 sexy shrimp ... awesome things.
Questions/comments/concerns? Let me know. Pics of livestock to come soon :D
