Welp, I've returned to the darkside.
My husband got a new fluval studio, so I kidnapped this.
(photo is borrowed)
I've been toying with the idea of another salt tank for awhile and as soon as this guy was empty of its planted tank beauty I started plotting to fill it with a little slice of ocean.
I'm still shopping for a few parts but here's what I've got so far
for the most part I built this out of parts I had lying around
Tank
http://www.current-usa.com/aquariums/solana
mine is the original solana so it is 9 gallons smaller than the one on the website.
Hagen glo t5 (to be replaced with a kessil A 150 W LED)
No name Protein skimmer that came with the solana I will replace it with a 9002
I've learned a lot and taken some time away from reefing to really think about where I want to go with fish keeping This new build is gonna be AWESOME!
I am going to look at a shutdown tomorrow so I will let y'all know what I come home with!
ALSO! I need help.
The glass top is resting on plastic bits similar to a fluval EBI or FLORA
THEY WICK WATER!!!!! how do I fix/avoid this
