I had such an awesome idea for this little tank, but now I am on the fence as to if I can or should participate.

Do it! Do it! Do it! I had my idea completely fall through! Just get a new one! That's what I am doing.

What lights did you plan on BTW? I have been looking into MH but with this budget, its hard! I am considering a DIY from a shop light if I can find a cheap ballast. Then just getting a cheap HQI bulb from ebay

Do it still!

Its come down to a cost/space thing at this point. I still REALLY want to participate, but I am stupidly busy as of late and for most of October.

I am going to go with MH if I do this tank, or T5 as a back up. I can get a ballast for cheap, I have an old lightbulb kicking around here that I can get for cheap from myself, and all that leaves is a reflector.

I will do some more brainstorming on my way to Edmonton tonight and maybe I can get it off the ground in time for the November date.

I had some seriously cool ideas too, which makes it pretty sad.

Since I am not participating though, I am more then willing to help people drill their tanks, or anything else they need. I have a set of diamond tip hole saws.

If something turns around by November 15th though I would definitely try to hop in.
