you've got way more than enough lighting for the size tank you're gunna be running, so lighting wise-you'll be ok... just not really the right kind of light (nor tank for that matter) for hardcore SPS.. but softies: zoos, shrooms, leathers, gsp's, etc. you shouldnt have a problem... you're gunna...

the new tank's holding great. its been on my dresser next to my minibow filled with water for ~4 hours, still dry on the outside. so I'll assume its going well :) oh, I thought that I would go to home depot and get some black krylon to spray the back with. should help it look better.

Alright, well, good news!!! I tried to test to see if it was watertight.. and wahoo! no drips that I've seen!!!! I got the sides routed, so its nice and clean now. so all I'm waitin for now is some more saltwater to finish mixin, and getting a new heater. (the 25 watter isnt going to cut it for...

more pics from assembly night

alright, I assembled the tank yesterday evening after getting all the pieces, its really seeming to come together nicely.. if you want to see my whole gallery of all the photos I took during assembly, http://nooolife.com/gallery/album01... here are a few attachment highlights though. I let it...

So, I decided to call TAP Plastics and let them know that I wanted quarter inch thick acrylic. Cause I thought that the 3/16ths was going to be a little thin, especially if I am going to be moving the tank a little.. I'll be getting the pieces this evening.. I'll take photos when I get them!

I decided that I was tired of my Minibow 5. and decided to make something a little bigger. It had to be a veryparticular size, as I move it back and forth from home (portland, OR) to school here in stockton. I decided to custom make it with 3/16" thick acrylic. Dimentions are going to be roughly...

Magnolia, I've had the sand sifters in there for about 4 or 5 months now, they dont seem to be growing any and they dont seem to be hurting the tank at all.. so I'll prolly leave them in there till they become too big or I get a sump/fuge to put them in.. they're doing a good job of keeping...

your tank rocks my socks! keep up the great work! great colors and very nice variety of corals!

something was up with my host.. I moved the pics to my edu's web hosting.. so they work now :)

So its been quite a long time since I've posted anything regarding my tank, but here we have it, looking lots better than the last time I showed pics... I'm Currently a 3 year student going to school at UoP in stockton, and have been studying Business/computers.. I've moved around a few times...

these lights are fairly decent for the price, I've run one in my aquarium before breaking it in a move. right now I have 2 of the 10w version of this bulb and a 13w kit from hello lights over my 5 gal minibow. I've got a soft frag and a few soft corals/leathers/mushrooms doing very well in...

thanks!

thanks! this was confirmed by a reef guru at a lfs too. I'll be posting pics

Over the last few days, I've noticed a lot of really small bubbles coming up from my substrate, often going up with a small peice of sand and then it dropping back when the bubble reaches the top and pops.. and then noticed some air bubbles in my substrate, roughly 2-3 mm in size.. they just...
