Installed my battery backup today that work gave me for free!
With my return pump and a couple other pumps I should get about 40min acording to APC.com

Now I am just waiting for the fire to start =)

cheeto,

That's OK ... but, to me, that looks more like the mess o' wires people ram into that space between the stand and the wall.

Or, at least, I do.

Oh. Damn.

My tank's ghetto to

My first set up was pretty ghetto. I had my tank sitting on a file cabinet and I used plant bulbs hung with fishing line from the ceiling for lighting. It then graduated to a 2x4 stand. Oh i wish i had pics.

I wish I had pics of my first salt tank. It was a thiry gallon show with plastic plants and interlocking pennplax rocks. It stand was a cheap particle board and glass coffee table. It bowed in the middle big time. The salt also ate away the veneer.

I'm looking for pics of my 6gallon nano with the LOA 65w on top of it=)

 

[Bamm Bamm]

Ok I finally figured out how to post pics here's some of my eclipse 6 nano I setup until I was able to get my big tanks to my new apartment..This is ghetto by my standards since i didn't have a hood but luckily there's no wiring danger issues or anything so it's not entirely ghetto it's since been taken down and now I just have a new 90g up and running..
first is the tank next is the loa 65w above it mounted to a corner shelf

I once made a protein skimmer out of something similar to this

it was 4" sq, 24" high, I had to glue one one side of it, along with top and bottom, looked real funky, but did the job. it was counter current with 2 wood airstones. did this about 15 years ago, when skimmers were almost as hard as $$ to come by

well I wanted to participate but after reading this thread I really don't feel so worthy of the ghetto title -- most of you all have me beat -- I am building a new hood and stand as we speak but till then I am rolling ugly -- My favorite is the 3' skimmer off to the side -- I am planning on a EAP euro (more ghetto) for in the stand of the new unit -- my wife really likes the idea of loosing the current skimmer -- so do I really -- the friggin doors on this stand don't even close anymore and the hood is all warped up-- totally a p.o.s.

well am I ghetto?

Gee... some of the pics are just plain ugly! I'm embarrassed for you!
