Well after a few months "Project Ghetto Reef" is almost ready for fish a coral. It started out as a quarintine tank in the 5' crawl space of my house and kinda took off from there.
I wanted to see how cheap I could build a reef with everything purchased from Canreef
I came up a little short ghetto stand from wood I had and a heater from Big Als boxing day sale.
So far the tally goes:
- 29g, Live sand, 1# rock & 2# rock covered in 75 zoos..$30 (Thanks Harveys friend Kaygen)
- 400w MH... free (Thanks Rich)
- 20# Live rock... $80 (Thanks Russ)
