Matt_95 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have wanted to do one of these, I had a nano FOWLR with a pair of clowns I caught. Finally got everything I need. I got my chiller that Jeff made for me and an ex display tank from someone. Any advice? Tank: An ex-display tank from someone, around 20 liters, seem less. Need to measure it exactly. Equipment: 20watt LED, 6500K will need to get a new bulb so it looks less yellow. Pelltier chiller Jeff made for me, suitable for nano tanks so should be good. Cheap as well. Still need to decide on a pump, around 250 lph any ideas I may mod a HOB as a fuge and so I can add macropore. Livestock: A yellow clown goby or some guppies if I can adapt them, I know it is possible but not sure how long it takes, mollies take 2-3 hours. Sexy shrimp Zoos Sun coral Elegance morphs Fungia Blasto Favia A few others in mind but not sure yet, can't afford much. Pictures of what I have later. Will be using NSW with 50% weekly waterchanges and I will use rainwater for daily top ups, no dosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yes, you can catch pretty much anything outside marine parks. No it isn't, it will just be a light and an empty tank lol, still have to buy the LR. Oh and I will grab a picturenofmthe chiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 The tank is a bit dirty sorry, haven't cleaned it yet and as I said, its an ex display. Look at those sexy edges! This is my light, its super bright and great value! $40 for this one! LED set ups usually cost hundreds! You can get 10w for $20 as well for nano planted tanks if anyone is looking at cheap lighting. The chiller, bassically, a pump pumps water through the blue thing with the pipe sticking out, its a water block, this is connected to the peltier, it is touching the cooling side, there is a heat sink on the heating side and a fan to ensure it is cooled off. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I found a guy selling live rock for $4 per kilo, will have to ask if Dad will take me I'm going to fill it up with water this week. The chiller is keeping my shrimp tank at 26.5 degrees or below, works quite well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
