10 Gallon SPS Nano

[FishyFishy!]

So, unfortunately I have to shut down my 187 gallon due to a leaking roof, so I figure i'd set up something to keep my hobby going until I can get a big tank up and running again.

My Microwave took a second seat, as I placed it in the cubby designed for the microwave. Looks awesome where it is.

For supplemental lighting, I think i'm going to do some DIY LED strips,

What a wicked place to put a tank, if you buy one or two of the 50W Blue LED Strip lights from ocean city finding snacks in the dark will never be a problem again .

Best part is there only $50.00 each and will work perfectly for your supplements (While the halide runs) , actinics (2 of them) and night lights (1 of them).

I've never seem them there! I'll have to go take a look today

ooh and If your really set on keeping SPS in the long run you might have to sell of a few of those softies, unless you are running carbon you could get some nasty chemical warfare in a tank that size.

I am running Chemi Pure Elite in the First section of the fuge. Would that be enough? Though I have no issue getting rid of the softies.

Now I just have to find some SPS frags to test it out.
