Bought this thing at Petco for 3 bucks!

[roncgizmo]

I had no clue what I was going to do with it....then I thought (on the way home) A majano tank! or maybe some zoos or something..

anyway...here it is.

I have a light around here somewhere...it's a 13w 50/50 or something
(spare parts from a nano) For the filter I was going to just use some LR and sand with a small water pump for flow...the black part inside the tank is more like an overflow...I'm not going to glue it thinking someday I might do something sick like drill it and add a sump (just for the fun of it) the hood is made out of PVC and glued with Weld-on...

I'll post more pics once I put the light in and fill it with...

If anyone has any ideas as to what to put in this thing feel free to chime in
it's about a 1/2 gallon in size.

A couple of yellow tangs would look great in there!

[EmilyT]

i like the pod tank idea. or maybe a brine shrimp hatchery so you can keep seahorses!

[roncgizmo]

No updates just yet...I need to find that light and pump, I know it's around here somewhere..lol I also need to make a hood for my new lights on my 37..

 

[roncgizmo]

So now we have light! 13W PC @ .5 gallons that 26 watts per gallon. I also have a small water pump @ 65GPH.. I think I'm going to put a Claim in it...:kidding: (don't flame me for that...lol) anyway, here's some pics!

Here's one of the light (thanks to Rob at altisreef.com). The reflector is a tin cover from takeout.
