Under ten gal choices rimless

yea ok so i was wrong, haha, well kinda, i will need a 2 way and a 3 way splitter and another transformer.

So for a 5 strip setup it would run me around 170
Then i plan to add,
Power Filter for Small & Desktop Aquariums: Azoo Palm Filter
and depending on temp in tank,
Fluval Edge Heater - 25W

All said and done I will try and keep the tank budget under $200. I may just start with 3 led strips and see how that works, ecoxotic claims that the reef ready version with 3 strips will support sps, so i guess i will find out. haha

 

sale pending with civic

 

awesomeness!

 

ah my gf is going to kill me!

 

The tank, and 2 hydor pico pumps that go in the false wall.

The tank is 12x12x12 the false wall is 3 in from the back. So guess i can stuff some carbon down in the back there. haha

 

ugh, really hoping this works out, we are so tight on cash now because we just moved into our first appartment on the 1st, i didnt realize how fast i would go through my savings just buying stuff we need! anyways, the gf had an interview on friday, and it went good, so as long as she gets the call back this week which i believe she will, i will be able to get this. So heres to hoping!

 

I think this would be great for a grow out tank, especially when i have the money to do a big saltcritters order! get a ton of $5 frags, this would work great.

 

I think the tank civic has is very simular tank to the aqueon evolve 8gal tank. He said his was 12x12x12 where as the 8 is 13x13x14. But its looks the same style all in one tank.

this is tank, and he said he had the acrylic wall done by a local acrylic guy, also comes with a media rack, and 2you hydir pico pumps. For the price i think it is a pretty good deal.

 

here are some pics of the tank, cant wait to get this.

So tank, media rack, and 2x hydor pico 400 pumps. Should I run this without a lid? I am worried about evap, maybe I can just get a piece of acrylic from homedepot to make a retrofit top?

What would be a good light setup for this? Would 1 par 30 or 38 bulb be enough? I really want something more slim and sleek tho, preferably a light that clamps on the rim and has a very small profile. That is part of what i liked about the ecopico tank. Cant really justify buying that light system tho unless I got the tank. Its $50 for the light arm alone. I can get the whole ecopico tank with light and filtration for that!

 

GF got a voice mail yesterday saying the bank has an offer for her, so assuming she is getting the job! After she talks to them today I will know for sure and will be able to pay for the tank.

I am thinking yasha goby and pistol shrimp would be great in this little tank, and then just a bunch of corals! woohoo i cant wait!
