OK, tank is here .

As Far as equipment budget :

Filter (Ebay ) $ 27.99 hope it doesn't burn my house down

Total = $136.99

light ships MONDAY !!!!!

 

[Bryan]

Did some testing on my ustream account today. Looks like I will be able to run a live stream for this tank much easier than for my 8g. The 24" length of the 8g is too wide to get a decent shot of the whole tank.



[[Live feed will probably start 5-1-12 will keep you posted]]

I have 2.

I am going to try this one :

Just because it was cheap , so if it gets wet its not a big deal. The picture quality so far has been pretty good even under led's.

I also have this one:

Picture quality is better, but really didnt want to risk ruining it with SW

Nice, I am excited to see the resulting color of that light combination and how well it works for you.

 

[Bryan]

did leak test earlier.

Tank = good

Filter = not so good (leaking where pump fits into filter body. Will try to fix sometime this weekend.)

 

[Bryan]

Found the leak !!!


"O"-ring had a small cut in it. So I will get a new ring today, and hope to get the scaping done today.

 

[McReefer]

What about a heater?

 

[Bryan]

Not running one . The room that the tank is in stays on the warmer side so it won't be needed
