And if anyone has input on a more inexpensive fixture this one runs about 139.99.

Well, you can get that fixture at JL Aquatics for $120 plus free shipping. I don't think you'll find much cheaper fixtures and one of these will do for a 15g FOWLR tank or maybe a few easy to keep soft corals. Anything else and you will want to upgrade the light.

Tank is set up, koralia nano powerhead, heater, and ac110 fuge mod. just gotta wait till next pay day and boom, waater, LS and LR

LS, LR rubble, macro algae and a small light fixture. If you google ac110 mods you can see lots of setup pics.

Do you have pics of how you modded it?

Beano1169 · #6 08-05-2011, 04:43 AM

I can post some but I followed that build you sent me to a tee.

Hey all, just a few questions. Will my fuge mod ac110 and a koralia nano 240 powerhead be enough flow for my 15 gallon, possibly a 20 if I decide to upgrade? and will the fulval E series 50W heater be enough? thanks for your time, count down till friday to grab some more equipment

The lights are here. The tank is close to running. Just gotta wait for carpet in the new house before water gets in

pics will be up soon
