well if it doesnt work out you will have a really nice candle holder or shot glass:D

what skimmer are you planing to put on this thing, as you are familiar with the tools, would be neat to se a custom micro skimmer build to go with it

I like it... sure is gonna be cheap on supplies.:mrgreen:

Don't laugh but I have actually considered it.

I think that might actually be the plan.

You should have seen the first version I drew up. It was like a mini biocube with an over flow to a mini rear sump. I was going to make a column that the air stone would go into to lift the water back into the tank and act like a tiny skimmer... then I realized that would be waaaaaay to much work:razz:

Ok, so today's lesson is: flame-polishing is NOT the method of choice for getting an optically clear finish on a 0.075" thick microtank. What a pain in the freakin' ass that was. Never the less, I was successful (or about as successful as I cared to be).

So here's the tank after it's first test fill (you know, I don't want any major water disasters all over the floor when this bad boy gets up and running) with it's big brother in the background for perspective.

(I should have wiped the finger prints off for this pics...)

Water changes are gonna be so easy!

top up every 15 min to keep the salinity constant ?

You can even afford to go with the really good salt.

TO COOL :biggrin: little tiny piece of live rock going to go in it?

Ya, that's the plan... problem is I can't find a piece of rubble in my tank that's small enough to fit!

Anyone have any ideas on what I could use as a heater?
