DIY 6g Zoa Cube

I have just built an awesome 6 gallon cube aquarum. It is not a true cube though, the footprint is 12 x 12, and it is 10" tall, it was made from a disassembled 10 gallon, that i cut to size. I did an uhly silicone job but it is solid and sound. no leaks, i tested it and it haz cured for 2 days, im going to fill it with some mature LS & LR from my 55g reef. I have a small power filter that has been running on the 55 for several weeks that is more than capable of supporting the nano. so it will instantly be ready for stocking, i have a tiny 1" wild caught goby i might add but i am setting this up to grow zoanthids and i may add a small warty anemoneI have just built an awesome 6 gallon cube aquarum.

I made a diy lamp that it a incandescdnt ceramic socket with a 5000k 27w cfl and a pvc reflector i warped w/ a blowtorch. It is painted black outside and has polished aluminum tape on the inside, i might give this tank to my sis in college and redo one with all new glass in stead of used scratched glass from the old 10g, and a prettier sealant job. I'll get pics at around 3pm here in FL, which is in about 4 hours. Will this lamp sustain my zoas for up to a few days untill i can get a 6500k one??? (hopefully today though).

DIY 6g Nano

 

pretty cool looking tank, looking forward to see some zoas in there.

 

I got a $20 zoa frag, Its really cloudy though, ill post some pics tonight after it clears up. They have green rings and a green dot in the center, the open polyps are about 6 or 7 mm in diameter.

 

lookin forward to pics ;D

 

its clearing by the minute so check back in an hour or so, the polyps are all closed

 

that finger shaped piece on the top right is the frag

 

more pics man!

 

you should just buy a 50/50 lamp that would screw in, they have one that is over 20watts I think. something like this

 

im going to look into that 50/50 lamp, the zoas look brown in this light though. my phone is dead but the water is clear, ill get a pic.
