Excited to start my build thread for my 'get back into the hobby tank'.
The tank is pretty unique, a former petco acrylic frag tank purchased from another R2R member.
This is how it looked when I brought it home. Peep the wife's cat already sticking his nose where it doesn't belong haha.
It came with a very old (and loud!) T5 fixture that I've since removed. My lighting for this build will be a combo orphek or3 with radions.
I hope to have it cycling by the end of May. I had it in my mind that I'd have fish by now, but kiddo takes priority and I've been at the mercy of the US postal service lol.
I got the rock scape to a point I'm pretty happy with, and have gotten most of the plumbing in place.
With my scape, I'm trying to show some variety which definitely is a struggle with such a shallow tank.
I've run I into my fair share of issues and setbacks so far, like my hanging nut for the lighting not being machined
But it's finally getting close. I'll be sure to update this thread as I get closer to finally kicking things off.
Thanks for following!
