Ok so just going over my budget just want to check to make sure I have this right.
Lights if it is approved= $60
The maxi Jet i had kicking around its sells for $21.95 so i count it as=$16.50
The heater is from wallmart 25watts=$12=Free
Compter supply i had kicking around I think they sell for $30ish=$20
The build material was all freebies and stuff kicking around the house plus I think that the building material was all free, correct?
So my total as i sit is either $96.00 or $156.00 depending on the judges about the light

There is no way you should be logically billed for both the lights when you only used one. Hopefully someone will get back to you about that soon. Who even makes the call on that?

How is the intensity of the lighting? Can you give me some info on how you wired it up?

I had been thinking of trying this...

Great build so far!

Well the lights are blinding to look at (I love them in my truck every one and their brother flashes you but hey lol....) I dont know how well the light will go through the water but i guess it will be trial and error. I have it wired up to a some what heavy duty computer power supply but im going to have to do the wireing again due to the light not fireing right away (dont think its good for the light to stay in warm up mood for a long period of time). Im just working out all these bugs now so I can have water in this tank and running come 12:01Am Oct 15th lol. I think i should be ok for a cycle since the rock is going to be going in a bucket when I do a water change on my display tank and then water and rock are going into the awaiting nano. Hope every one is haveing fun with there build !!!

Well seeing that I was off today I thought it would be a good time to get the baffles put in place and get the dolphin properly mounted, I also snapped some pics of my idea for the return pump. I dont know if im going to use a Mj600 or a 400, so I drilled out a hole in the return side and affixed the spray nozel in there so I can place either pump in and out of the tank as with cleaning it. I was a little to hard on it though breaking off the flap when I was trying to place it in the tank so im thinking about just glueing it in place before the water goes in... Well here are some boreing pics, please dont mind my silicone work im not very good at it.
