i figured the odd title would attract attention and comments. here's what I bought:
27 gallon eclipse...oh yeah 8)
100 gph protein skimmer
25 lbs LR + the 10-15 I already had
live sand. enough for 3" in the fuge and a little in the display. I may need more
2x55's for the tank along with the 2x28's I already had
1 more maxijet 1200 to go with the existing one.
the lights in the eclipse hood will be used on the fuge
basically i am going to hook up the two maxijets on a wavemaker surge protector and plumb them on either side of the tank. i already got the bulkheads. I will cut a slot in the top center of the tank in the back and build an external overflow box. got the bulkhead for that too. I will use floor paint for the back of the tank because I don't like the look of that plastic crap. Everything else should be pretty self-explanitory. I will also hook up timers on the lights so the 28's go on, then the 55's, and then in the evening the 55's go off and then the 28's. I will probably instead make the peak hours around 6 because this is when I like to sit around and look at my tank. and tough if 27 isn't a nano because i am frightened of the other forums. i'm like marlin. oh by the way, my perculas are named sharkbait and sashimi. hehe. only about a week before this is done, so comments are appreciated. Just try not to utterly destroy my ideas, as they are important to me, and because I already bought all the stuff. I can only change where I put it. Oh yeah, I also bought 1000 live pods from one of brandon's references. This sounds like a lot, huh? well, my mandarin will be 2 feet long when I'm finished with him. then he will be dinner for me and he will see how all of my dwindling population of copepods felt before they were devoured. he sure is a cool fish though.
