Here I go with one more ?. I know, I should have had everything wrapped up in one post, sorry about this Engine!

What's the brand on that tank?

 

[Pufferpunk]

How's the temp? Do you have the lights on different timers?

Newschool, the tank is a Perfecto.
Puffy, I do have the lights on different timers. i am thinking about getting a controller also. The temp is staying at 80ish.
Thx Kimoy I wanted room for the fish to swim. i may re-arrange a little more.

Can't Wait!!

The 330 would have looked better.






Tank looks great.

Hehe Mike! I am pushing the limits of known science with the 220... My master plan, as some of you know, is that when I hear cracking and snapping coming from the floor beneath the tank to jump on top of the tank and ride it down thru the floor, stopping only long enought to crush my mother in law and ride the entire mess down to the basement where I have a phone ready and the first 6 digits of my State Farm agent pre-dialed.
Dont laugh, my mother in law is in her 80's and has lived a long life. If it is her time, then we shall complete her circle of life together in a disaster of water, glass, and aquatic life. It will be God's will, not mine or fate. After I am released from the hospital when my injuries heal, we can move on and get over the loss of my mother in law. A rebuilding process then begins. I mean we can then start a new tank. Bigger, better then before. This time safety will be a concern and not simply aquatic pleasure for the sake of the hobby.
It's out of my hands...

[menard]

[SilverOne]

Looks great!

Thinking of getting the same t5 fixture. Would like to see more pics when you get all the bulbs going.


Thanks for sharing.

 

[Jeff]

I am picking up more bulbs after dinner tonight. That will make a total of 12 bulbs out of 14. I will take some pikcs then.
Thanks for the kind words guys

Ok here are some more pics I took during the installation of 6 more bulbs. I now have a mixture of UV lighting Super Actinic, UV Lighting Aquasun, ATI Actinic Blue, ATI Aquablue, Current Actinic, and Current Actinic 03's. So far I do not like the look of the Aquasuns. They seem to wash out the colors in the tank. I think the Aquasuns (3) will be replaced at some time.
I am using a crappy Nikon L6 camera that I really have not played with so sorry about sharpness.

Looks good Jeff, I think the color looks fine, but I like a little bluer tank.

 

[tvrsir]

seen this tank personally, love it's size and light very nice setup,

pictures does it no justice looks 10x better in person

 

[Jeff]

Thanks guys

 

[Noise]

Maybe it was in another thread, or everyone else just knows, but can I ask how much the tank was and where you got it from? I am looking for something around that size in the future.

Also did I see a maroon clown in there also? If so are they getting along with the naked clowns?

I had another ? but I forgot what it was now.

 

[Jeff]

I will PM you the price and where I got it from. The Gold Stripe Maroon clown gets along with everybody in the tank....as long as they stay a foot away from his RBTA.

[Noise]
