New 10 gal. Modified Nano!

[Maverick27]

Really nice setup, looks great. Best of luck with it

 

[Jacsubi]

That rock setup is great. Whoever picked those rocks must have been smart dude! keep it up.

 

[drummereef]

Looks great! What substrate is that? It looks awesome. Great contrast.

Nice, just wish you had gone with black silicone on the back overflow and even redid the corners

Thanks for the all the comments guys!
Jacsubi: Very funny Hal! No, your right, that was some good rock. Thanks for the help buddy!

Drummereef: Thanks! Actually, I threw the bag away for the sand so I'm not sure what type it is. I always liked the look so I thought I'd try it.

FLricordia: Yeah, I definitely know what you mean now that you mention it. Where do you get black silicone for aquaria use? I'm thinking about building another for someone else; this tank build's for my roomate. (I made him jealous with my 30 gal! )

I get it at the local hardware. As long as it is 100% silicone than it is OK. Just want to avoid the mold resistant type.
I am doing a 2.5 gl AGA maybe so I might steal your overflow. I have an AC 30. Nice set-up BTW if I didn't mention it already. The black sand did the trick. I wish I could get it locally. Hope you keep us posted on its progress.

I definitely will; just bought some cleaners tonight. Thanks again for the advice and comments! Let me know when you start posting about your 2.5 gal!

Here's an updated picture with some hermits! You can really see them but anyway.

this thread has mad me want to make a ten or15 hex with all hidden equipment

 

[kaserpick]

Thanks GSMguy! I'm glad people are liking the design; not much to it either, super easy! Keep me posted if you do decide to do one. How tall is a 15 hex?

 

[SJGreene]

Found this thread and like the idea. Just wondering what was used to attach the PH to the outlets. I have an extra 10gal laying around and I think I'm going to do something similar.

Thanks.

kaserpick-

Looking good! Are you happy with your light? My 10g is up and I need a light. I am leaning toward the 28w coralife. I saw another 10g build with a 96w.... I think its too much.

 

[EWC88]

That is a nice tank!!! For your returns weres the pump to blow the water out? I like how you did your tank and looking at maybe doing the samething

I run the 96 watt power quad on my 10 gallon and by no means is it too much. Never had any problems with it. Just have to make sure to change your bulbs when needed.
