Contest #1 Nano - New Rock Work

No big deal... I'll just add some egg crate where I showed it in the diagram

ahah good thing you reminded me about the water level... I almost forgot that it needs to be down enough so the sump wont overflow... I marked where the level should be maximum tonight

You doing anything for water top off? Or just doing it manually? I forget do you have lid?

[sphelps]

I'm topping off manually to keep things simple, I might have to rig something up later down the road when I'm gone for over a week. I did make a lid but it's not all glass, it's a glass frame with mesh in the center. This way it cuts back a little on evaporation, keeps livestock from escaping and still allows heat exchange so the tank doesn't over heat from the lights.

So how much you topping off per day??

about 2 cups a day, but I usually just put in a liter or two a week.

So tonight I'll be trying to get the fuge light mounted to the lid of the right compartment.

and adding egg crate... and I still need to find something to put under the one side of the stand to level things off... I was going to use the pink foam but its $20 a piece

Use cardboard...its free. You shouldnt be able to see it either.

I think you should get 4 screw-in stump legs, similar to what you would find under a common couch and similar to left leg shown below. But a lower profile so you won't see them.



This could also allow for adjustment, a couple washers should do the trick. It might be easier using foam or cardboard but I don't it will work as well, using legs will also make it more stable.

Yeah I'll have to find something??? Like a box that I can flatten and use... or some kind of small leg??
