Rocketlily's Damsel in Zoanthidland 10g Nano

Wow!! Great job on the stand and canopy!

Agreed, very good stand and canopy!

[mseepman]

wow...you built that in one day...I don't want to talk about how long my canopy took me.

What kind of light is going in there?

[rocketlily]

Thanks for the compliments on the canopy and stand. I figure my "free" stand will probably cost me around 20 hours of time. I'm working on staining it today, 2 coats of stain, then it needs 3 - 4 coats of clear.

For lighting, I am hoping to put in an 18" SlimPaq Actinic T5HO. It's been back ordered by the supplier, without a delivery date, but hope it will be in when it's time to put in water.

What date do we put in the water?

Tell me more about this lighting would you? Maybe a link? I am definitely interested.

Ocean Aquatics is the supplier. Here's the link: http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...%22-Saltwater/

Maybe if we order enough of them we can get delivery before the 15th.

It's looking good! Aquascaping is excellent.

I would love to take credit for the aquascaping, but it was my daughter's work. She seems to have a talent. If I can keep my hands out of the tank I do expect some growth from the zoanthids. I'm not sure how much with the lighting only being incandescant. In the past I have experienced amazing growth with a 150 MH, but I didn't use it on this tank due to the heating issues.
