Dion Blaster's 10 Gallon Disaster!

[Dion_Blaster]

Hi all! Very new to this forum, thought I'd share my 10 gallon tank I just set up!

paly rock

Duncan and green palys (these guys are my tank favorite right now - crazy bright green!)

Blue hornets (planning on fragging these guys sooner or later)

And an fts

Get a black cloth or drape with Velcro strips for that back side to hide the cords. Sweet Lil rig man, welcome.

 

[BeanMachine]

Is that going to be enough light you think? Welcome to SCR.

Welcome, nice little tank. +1 on covering the cords.

 

[Dion_Blaster]

Yep, I'm working on throwing something back there for the cords. The light is 6 Crees which is plenty I think, but I'm adding 6 more once I build my new pendant

 

[wickedfish]

I you took the lenses off it would be more than enough. Just build a Lil acrylic shield so the light doesn't go into the room. Only needs to be a Lil black acrylic 1-2" lip and use crazy gel.
I think at the paragon place they can cut it for you.

Time for an update!

First, I've been working on a little enclosure for my light:

Decorated with... SPACE INVADERS!!

Here's the finished product, grouted and hooked up: (How a'grout dat?!)

And a shot of the full set up - not too bad for a completely self contained 10 gallon imo:

Also I was tired of the constant lamanar flow I was getting in the tank, so I upgraded the plumbing and threw in a hydor flo:

Still hid everything behind the false wall, though:

**** C O R A L S ***** =)
got some new frags ("no more of those small flower corals", my girlfriend says =p)

annnddd, I'm stoked to report that my blue hornets are recovering to their former glory! I attribute this to either moving them out of the light, or glueing them on top of this shot glass to isolate them from hermits

And a new FTS:

How's it lookin?

That's a sweet little set up. Love the canopy! I dig the aquascape.

Looks great! Great idea with the space invaders! Came out good!

 

[xssx]

That's a nice looking setup you have, are you gonna paint the back to hide the wires

 

[Likwit]

Neat little tank and sick space invaders!
