Well guy I wasnt actually planning on competing in this but since the time falls right inline with a little 2.5 gallon im putting together I will give it a shot!
The tank is built using a good amount of stuff I already had laying around.
This is going to be something thats low maint., Just large weekly water changes and clean the glass. Nothing special.
I will update as time goes on.
Equipment
2.5 standard glass tank. (Originally purchased to use as an ATO resovoir but never got around to it.)
DIY Led lighting using extra LEDs from my 65 gallon build a while back, Powered by spare cell phone chargers
Aquatech 5-15 power filter from walmart.
Extra heater I had laying around.
Enjoy!
Painted the back
Built a small heatsink out of some extra aluminim channel I had in the garage.
Filled it with water and sand.
Then I had a buddy whos an acrylic fabricator build me a "canopy" to hold the light, keep the light "spillover" in and just look awesome!
And this is how the tank site today as of 5/27/2014
I look forward to updating you guys once we can start adding!
