Fish's new tank project

[Fish]

Here is a shot of the GFI plug and elctrical that I put in the rafters for power to my light:

When I was testing the light, I noticed one of my kids' toys over in the corner was lit by the fluorescents so I took a couple pics to show the two stages of lighting:










I know, I know, maybe I should get some marine life to take pictures of...

Things are looking good there, too bad the is no glass to hold it all.

Is that a picture of those rare non-aquatics cones. I hear they are twice as deadly as the aquatic variety. How can you keep such a dangerous animal with kids running a round.

Paul,
Thanks bro.

And you're right. The cone was an impulse purchase - I didn't research its requirements before buying it like I should have. It's free to a good home... might work in a species tank...

I noticed on the one timer you have, there is THREE on/off cycles? Is that just the way the timer came cause you aren't really using it yet, or is there some method to your madness there?

P.S. - Sorry for all the "dumb" questions.

That's really observant of you. Actually, I just took that timer out of the package and hadn't set it up yet. (The cone is nocturnal and doesn't have any light requirements).

When I do run the lights, I will probably try something like:
Actinic - 8:00am - 10:00PM
Daylight - 10:00am - 8:00PM

Cheers,

When I read the email thread-update notifications for this thread, I thought, how on earth can he be talking about a cone snail when there's no tank yet? Ahhhh it's all so clear now.

Haha sorry Tony.
It's sad what a guy will resort to while waiting for a tank to be built... I have named it and everything...
