    So I finally got my custom made 12 inch T-5 fixture :eek: I have been waiting for, for like two months and this thing is sweet. My friend at the lfs's friend from L.A. Made this baby at it kicks for my 3 gallon tank! Only 24 watts but good enough for what I'm using it for and I'm thinking down the road of modifying it to fit a 70 watt metal halide in it with fans of course. For my dream tank set up project that is of this point top secret ! :) Here it is.

    Great tank! I love it! My 7 year old is begging for a 1.5 Pico. It's the same one you have, only half the size.

    Where did you ever find a HOB fuge that small? I thought my 2.5 HOB fuge was tiny but yours takes the cake!

    Get ahold of John Maloney, see if he'll send you just one mangrove (he usually sells them as 5 seed pods. I've had mine in about 3-4 weeks and I have pretty good root growth.
