This is just one of the million ideas that fill my head everyday, and only about 0.001% of them actually see fruition.
I am thinking setting up a 40 gallon breeder, and 20 gallon sump Frag growout/QT tank with the extra equipment I have laying around the house. This will be in the basement, so it doesn't need to be 'pretty'.
What would you recommend for lighting? I am trying to keep the electric bill down too, so i'm aiming towards LEDs. How much does a "chinese" LED cost these days?
What other options do I have for a low profile, wide tank? I see Advanced acrylics makes specialized frag tanks, but I am thinking a more "out of the box approach". Deep blue tanks look promising, but I dont' know how readily available they are on the used market. Any equipment that I don't already have would be purchased second hand; this is a budget build.
