Chrispar Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 So, If I go with Dry Rock for the rest of the Rock in my tank, but then I use live rubble in my fuge section that should do an OK job of seeding the stuff in the main part of the tank?

Chrispar Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Got water in the tank. Its a big day going to Prof's this evening to get some LR for this thing.went shopping for some yesterday but did not feel like paying 15$\lbs or 10$\lbs for that matter. but here it is wet and lit with 96 watts of PC lighting. Its a 10k bulb for now, Im gonna go with a 50\50 in a few weeks. And a little bit of overflow action 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If you were me, and let me assure you that I am, I would go topless. The pic from your post without the canopy look sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneb Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Meant to ask - what brand is the epoxy resin and where did you get it? wayneb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispar Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Its bondo epoxy resin and I got it at home depot . Worked great, The only problem running topless is the livestock i want are jumpers and i have to look at the ugly light fixture, Its just not attractive lol. It was just a thrown together hood with scraps outta the garage so if I get tired of it, it wont kill me to get rid of it.
