Another pic of the tank painting process.

And yes I have since cleaned out the majority of junk and tanks from my garage
 
I originally was planing on using a coralife 2 x 9w aqualight mini.

But decided against the puny little thing for a much better alternative.

A nice 70w HQI JBJ Viper with a 20k bulb! As Borat would say "Very Nice!"
 
Jeff, I need one of those returns on mine! I need to bring my tank over :-)

Good choice on the light. I have the coralife and am going to upgrade.
 
killer light man, that will grow what ever you want in there :) I can't wait to see this thing running.
 
this is possibly the nicest mini tank i have seen.. Im loving the sump that is larger then the tank itself... I think this might be the only tank in the world with the sump being 6x larger then the tank
 
My next little challange was mounting the light.

The light is just a little too heavy to clamp on the back of this tank though I did try it first. It just looked wrong... The clamp is big and ugly, the light would sit too high, and it just looked plain awkward.

Well not exactly this but it is a diamond in the rough.
 
HAHAHa


But for real that is a super clever drain/return. THat will be a lil' gem of a tank.
 
Can't wait to see how the light is going to attach. Looking great so far.
