They came out pretty good.

Stop being a wuss and fill that baby up! Just do it near a drain just in case I tested mine outside...I was scared

Great work Liam. It's good to see you back in the mix too. After talking with you at the last meeting I had a feeling it wouldn't take too long.

Welcome back friend!

Dang, are you sure that skimmer will work, looks a little on the small side to me

Oh, that's a big skimmer? I just thought it was a really really small tank.

Is that one of those DIY Coke bottle airstone skimmers? I guess you did an ok job on it...

Nice piece of equipment there.

steve

thanks Steve, it will be once i move.
I just threw a temporary stand together so i can start collecting a few frags.
It was just way to quiet in the house without a tank.
I really miss laying in bed in the early hours worrying if that water sound is a little different or why don't i hear water
Once i have moved i will set up a large display and this frag tank will be plumbed into it.Hence the 4 bulkhead in the sides that are currently blocked off.

[Liam]

Did you end up going with the Reeflux bulb?

no i got a south pacific supply 10k,the color is fantastic greg, not blue like the pic,very white with a slight tint of blue.With good par ratings according to sanjay
Shawn saw it this morning i think he liked it as well

 

[S Hunter]

Very Nice Color Indeed... I don't really see the need for any other lighting to makeup the color... Nice choice Liam

Greg here is an accurate pic as balanced with the camera and as seen with the eye.You can see the pvc in back is white.
