well after my ten crashed i built this cube to hold what survived.........

this it set-up on top of my dresser. 18w coralife mini fixture. 3pd LR, 3 cups of LS.......

then i desided that my ten didn't need my JBJ viper 70w MH pendent anymore......

nor did it need my JBJ ATO,lol......

so this is my new creation.......



the cube is by far NOT perfect.....thinking im going to make one out of glass so it doesnt scratch as easily........

That is probably the coolest "temp" tank I have seen!

So that is pretty much all that made it through the crash?

the best part, building this i had no idea the volume it held. i built it origanlly so my mini coralife fixture would fit on top. its just over 2 gallons......like 2.2gal.

with the light on the temp has only gotten up to 82.5*, and the light was on for 8 hours. i do have a fan, so if i have a problem it will definitly be installed.

the bulb is a 70w 14k, the pic was taken with 9w of actinic. i like the way the colors look with the actinic.

the cubes made out of acrylic plexi from home depot....the thicker stuff.

the reason it looked blue was because i used actinic bulb to try to get the real colors i see in the pic
