Got my heater and air pump for this tank but for got to get a thermometer to see if I can keep it at a steady temp.DOH!

 

Heater was 14.94

air pump was 6.77

 

Brings me down to 92.22.

 

That reminds me, the vase will hold 108 oz before rock, sand and heater.

Which heater did you end up going with? I have a feeling the the heater I have now will require a lot of plugging in and un plugging as the tempature rises and falls.

 

P.S. If you can I would stay away from any CF they give off a lot of heat and especially with a lid I foresee issues. If you do get a CF I would also pick up a little desk fan; you can use the fan to blow air over the surface of the water, this will cause evaporation and in the process cause heat transfer. If you have a well air conditioned home it may not be an issue but IMO with a lid and CF you will probably have heat issues

It seems to me I've forgotten to declare a few things.

 

Airstone- 1.19 brings me to 61.64

control valve (part of a 10 piece kit) - 4.29

used some silicone to seal the grommets

 

So how do I value the 10 part kit? $0.42 or full value of 4.29 ?

Seeing I'm only using on piece of it for this project and the rest will be going to the phyto project coming soon.

How are you liking the light? I am starting to feel like its way too bright!!! I noticed the packaging said the light was dimmable, and they sell dimmable extension cords at home depot for like ten bucks... so I'm going to try one out; I'll let you know what I think. I was also thinking it could use some actinic, it would be cool to add a blue moonlight, but my budget is already blown. :(
