Added the Wife's small Nemo, she doesn't like him cause he nips at her. I don't mind him at all, and I got a Panda Goby to keep him company. The fish aren't posing for pics though.

I'm working on the lighting configuration before building the actual Canopy. I'm pretty sure that I've decided on the bulb placement and reflector shape..........



Independent control now, but no timers yet. The cords have switches though.........



The reflectors are made from a piece of aluminum duct, pretty shiny on the inside, but I'm gonna work on polishing them to a mirror-like finish.

Dropped some frags in to see what they would do. Now I'll be able to tell if the lighting and flow is right.


Stuff is just kinda thown in there right now, I'll figure out final placement when I see how everything does.

The Fuge side is establishing nicely.......

I'm impressed with this little tank so far, and the Canopy will be built soon. A couple mishaps; When hooking the lights and pump up to a powerbar I added, I failed to plug in the pump properly, the result was the tank went without ANY circulation for 8+ hours(ALL night). In the morning, I discovered the problem, re-plugged in the pump, and found that NOTHING DIED! Nothing even looked bad. Then last night, I found Nemo on the floor, covered in Cat hair. I scooped him up, dropped him back in, he shed his Cat hair covering, and started swimming around like nothing happened. Hope he learned something, but I'm building the Canopy this week just in case.

Wow looks good and sounds like you have had some luck. I like this idea and am kicking around a 5.5, do you mind a little imitation?
