Plywood tanks are pretty common in DIY forums. A pond liner might help you out in making it modular. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=21034

Wow, zombie thread (almost 2 years old). LED lights are much more common now.

I just noticed that you are in Florida, you wouldn't happen to be in the Orlando-UCF or Melbourne areas?

I'll take a rusty can of 70% shipped to 32826

If you don't mind a potentially invasive species, toss a few tilapia in there and start harvesting them for food.

High Power LEDs are by no means cheap, or temporary. I would have to say spiral CFL desk lamps or Fluorescent tube shop lights are the cheapest. However, you could get a head start on your hood and add LEDs to what you have now. Just make a LED strip now with about half of what you will...

I've only been keeping my Kribs for about a month, but they seem to enjoy aquadine flakes. http://www.aquadine.com/ I got a (rather large) free sample from them a while ago and they like it. I keep three 1" kribs in an 18 gallon with five silver? tipped? tetras and two otocinclus.

I believe it is only 1.5 wpg. 15 Watts per bulb times 2 bulbs = 30 total Watts. 30 Watts over 20 gallons would be 1.5 Watts per gallon unless I'm missing something. This is enough to grow some low-light plants, maybe even some medium light plants if you get lucky. I know I was able to grow...

~35 gallons click on "conversions" at the top of this page. edit: Dang you Notophthalmus, you beat me.

It could be the ballast, or it could be loose wiring. Make sure all the electrical connections are good, then give it another try.

I hope it is, there's even a possibility that you just have a loose wire or a blown fuse somewhere in the hood. When my starter wasn't working, the ends of the bulb were lighting, but not the center. Since yours has no lighting at all, I'd open it up and make sure there are no loose...

No, the starter is used every time you apply power to the bulb. I read up on the physics of a starter, which are interesting to an engineering mind, kinda dull otherwise. It is most likely a little can-shaped thing in the Light Bar. I just had to replace one in an eclipse hood, though it...

That's what I figured, it is very nice and I'm sure it looks better up close. He'll turn better soon I'm sure!

It looks very nice, good stocking and good handiwork. Inside the tank there's a few things I would change, but it's just personal preference. Backgrounds aren't my thing, and many more live plants are. Anyway, if everyone who went to big chain stores ended up with tanks like that, this...

Awesome, I love how it turned out. If only I can find a tank here I'd like to do the exact same thing. The handles are really cool too.

You need to edit that first post and replace the link with this one: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/640346316.html The link you gave us gives us the power to delete the post.

Awesome job, I can't wait until it is complete. What do you plan on putting in it?

Awesome job, it looks great. I'd like to see how the doors are going to fit on the stand though.
