So, I've had this 10 gallon utility tank that I've been using as a quarantine and utility tank and it's been housing a pair mollies (that are now breeding like crazy but that's besides the tank) and seeding rock. Well I finally had a day off today and the weather was nasty and being cooped up inside I decided to redo the tank and put together some ideas I've had kicking around with some spare stuff I've had laying around.

The main thing was a light. I had a Gen 3 radio xr30 laying around that I picked up over a year ago for super cheap so that's what's on the tank since I already had it. I knocked together a "mount" for the light out of some scrap plywood and made it so I can raise or lower the light on the frame as i play with it. Done mind the cords its currently connected to my laptop so i can program it. This tank is an experiment for me to tinker with (my wife and i have 2 other reefs and a planted tank as displays). I just have a HOB power filter and a heater on it and an autofeeder for the mollies flake. I have a fair amount of random equipment laying around, so we'll see where it goes.
