MrScuito Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I'm building a .8 gallon tank with hood and stand and a 6 oz sump/ref. Hopfully I can wrap my head around a miniture skimmer about the size of a roll of quarters. So far my specs are: Tank 6"x6"x5" Stand 10"x6"x6" Hood 6"x6"x4" with 20w halogen and soon to add blue led's sump is made out of an old plastic recipe box. I no where near complete yet but here's a look at what I have so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomekanic Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Can you get a halogen in the right color? Home Depot might have some of those 27w Lights of American security lights left. They're 6500K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 That is so sweet! We keep talking about building a mini tank - love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScuito Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 someone read this thread and offerd me a little 1g tank with 9 LED lights at first I thought I would take it off and put it on the .8g but I think I will continue with building the .8g the way I planned and build the 1g with an all in one aproach behind the overflow w/o a skimmer. I need to make some money first before I can finish the .8g or start the 1g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
