can you post pics of whats under your tank?

thanks

I'll hunt around. Watch my videos though, they have some clips of the equipment. After that you can let me know what you'd like to see more of.

That's a great looking nano! I love the lighting. Do you have more info on that?
Chris

Thanks Chris!
The lighting is a 70w metal halide with a 20k bulb. I bought the ballast, reflector, and bulb and then wired it into a halogen desklamp. I took these photos while I was gutting the desklamp and bolting in the retrofit:

how much does it cost for a cube to be made? $$20-50??

well i just had a custom cube made...check out my pics in nano reef, and mine cost more then that...starfire is expensive...

looks great! but lets say i dont use that glass and i settle for saphire glass.. or a low iron glass.. somthing that will not cost an arm and a leg.. what $$ would i be looking at?

I am going to place it on a base of hockey pucks to raise it up enough for the hoses to clear the slot in the desk top. It shouldn't look quite as "Canadian ghetto" as it sounds :razz: . I will have a puck on each corner and one in the middle of the tank and all recessed a bit so that it looks like the tank is floating an inch off the desk on short black pillars.

This shot is to get a general idea of the aquascaping:

looks like a little zen mountain setup :)

i think it might have looked quite neat if the sand was black....
i remeber reading about a guy who loved his white sand, the only way he kept it like that was to replace it all...yes all every month....was like a 500 gallon or something like that...rich european....

Thanks. I have thought about black sand before too - just not sure how it would look...
The aragonite is pretty cheap to replace every 4 or 5 months... I only use a cup or so and I'm still on my original bag.
