Lighting
|
2x55 watt, 6500K, CF coralife fixture on legs. The fans buzzed so I jammed them with paper clips to no bad effect, but it doesn't get very hot here in San Francisco

Equipment
|
Penguin Biowheel HOB -outflow modified with craft plastic grid: drill two holes, twist tie on, this works great if you want to quiet and still the surface!
|
|
CO2
|
big industrial CO2 tank, wooden airstone, unscientific visual dosing. I had hoses running all over the place to my five tanks. Later I found out they must have been leaking like crazy at the plastic hose connectors!

Inhabitants

7 amano shrimp, a snowball peckoltia who lived in a cave under the cat, 2 juli corys, and 5 Rasbora maculata were there a long time. Other residients came & went: glowlites, harlequins, green neons, a male borelli cichlid, ottos, clown killis, a couple guppies, 3 panda corys, 1 male endler's, etc. not all at once of course. A blue gourami was too bossy, others got along.

It's a bit overgrown & sloppy in the pic. Yes the ceramic cat is cheesy. Hey, I made it in art class, ok? All this was a learning experience.
