    DIY LED & Florescent lighting setup

    Well, I got my par meter in the mail today, and instead of just coming here and posting the numbers I figured I'd show the progress on this tank first. Anyone care to guess my par? I did. By doing some math based on the numbers I posted earlier and was on PAR (har har) really just off by...

    Thanks! It's FAS from Ikea. I've had this a while and IIRC I added an extra bit of metal to it a few years ago.. but the stock lamp looks like it would work. The buld is a 14w 6500k CFL from Walmart (I think?)

    I went ahead with the build, and have had it set up in the office for a few weeks now. Peeling guide tape: Curing: Moved in, Planted, and filled: Close up on plants: Swapped the light this week for something adjustable:

    keeping Peacock Gudgeon

    I've got peacocks currently spawning in my 20gal community tank. They're neat fish to be sure! They aren't particularly shy once they get settled, and while they mostly live in the bottom third of the tank, they seem to like to mosey around and take in the sights. Mine have been fine as far as...

    I thought about it, but poking around the kitchen to find something that wouldn't send the water all over my car on the way home proved fruitless. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    I was actually going to bring my test kit today... We have two water faucets. One is straight tap the other is filtered in some way. I know that that filtered water setup was a big thing (when the system is down, the company buys bottles for everyone.) I want to test both today. Sent from my...

    Ah, right. You know, I think I want to go all out on this one and go high tech. We'll see... I don't even know that it's water tight. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    I know what you meant, I was just adding that it is totally possible to find out what a users location is listed as and it's not convenient. Impressive area code skills! Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    Yeah I think I could view the profile and scroll down to see location.. It just seems like a hassle. :) I'll be honest, I'm really excited to get that tank wet.. I just want that silicone to cure! Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    I might still DIY the light, but with this being such a tiny lil' tank I think it will be fine with just a nice desk lamp. I'd love to get into salt, but I'd hate to get into salt.. I'm just getting back into fish keeping after a four year hiatus, and I think I've surprised my boyfriend by my...

    Woah.. Where are you that glass is so expensive? I ended up going no polish on the edges. I like the super glossy look of seamed vs the polish. I picked up all 5 pieces I needed plus one extra for a lid for $25 after tax. I had the silicone.. But let's say that it costs $4.. And $1 for all...

    That's awesome. Are you guys in the US? I've been thinking about a polish or bevel. I don't know how that would work though. I wouldn't want to have all the edges finished just the top, right? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    Desktop Aquarium

    Yeah that was my whole issue. This was an employee at Lowes who told me that and not my final glass supplier. All I wanted to know from the guy @ Lowes was what thickness glass they sold and he told me I can't use their glass I need to use tempered. I haven't decided which method I'll use. I...
