What's that little light you have running there?

It came with the tank. It's a great little beginner tank, but I have a few complaints. The pump and light run on the same power adapter. So to switch one off would switch them both off. Second, the light is a touch pad on and off with default to off, so even if it wasnt tied to the pump using a wall timer would only work to switch power off. The light will not turn itself on.

There is a mod that requires soldering that will bypass the switch and leave the light constantly on, which then you can get a separate power supply and run a timer on the light.

Other than that, it's a great little tank, and you can catch them on sale at PetSmart for around $35 I believe.

Here’s a good read for anyone who’s bored and like genetics lol. I’ve thought of procuring a pretty little steel girl for my guy but I had sold off all my containers and heat tape.

Coppers are amazing in person! You should get one. They change depending on how the light hits them.

He looked pretty well fed when we met... of course that was at a cracker barrel.

I knew they steal food, but didn't realize they'd eat them.

I have a 10 year old pleco. We call him Algenon. He only eats algae if it's in wafer form.
