Just an update to anyone interested.
6 gal tank...
NEW 10 gal tank i just setup 2 weeks ago...
I'm raising some baby fish in this tank for now. Couple of gold dust molly's and one black molly. Here's my black molly in her favorite spot...
This tank been modded quite a bit. I ripped out the old integrated flourescent light for a 36 watt Power compact light retrofitted in the hood with miro 4 reflector. I added a co2 canister with ladder diffuser for the plants and i made my own filter cartrige out of the old one that won't need to be replaced for at least a year (just rinsed off).
pics of light after install... looks like a pretty clean install.
Aluminum box i modded to mount the electronic balast for the new light.
Drowning the plants in light. :evil
was actually going to mount two of these lights into the hood ( with a larger splash sheild, but i guess one is enough.
The 29 gal tank got the 65 watt Power compact light as well as a new Eheim 2215 canister filter hidden in the stand. 664gph flow rate all filters compined, with 170 gph of that being channeled through undergravel jets.
LOL, there goes most of the money for my car. But hopefully i'll get a juicey tax return so i can swap a new suspension setup in my car. (tired of the eibach pro's)
that is all. Comments welcome.
