What kind of DIY are you going to do for your lights?

Who could ever love this?

Don't act like that photo isn't hanging above your bed.

HA! It's not.

It's on the wall across from the bed where I can see it.

So I went to the lfs to get 5gallons of saltwater for my 10g because an rodi system isn't worth it for me yet and I ended up spending $52 instead of the $2.50 for the water. I bought a clownfish, Coralrx (which was 35% off and a magnet cleaner. I think this is my new addiction.

Seems of you only spent $52 then that's not to bad

I want a hammer a torch some zoas monti cap acros and birds nest.

 

[Katrina71]

You know what type of zoas you want?

 

[brett_schn]

You know what type of zoas you want?

No not really yet. Once I upgrade I will have a zoa garden so I will have a few different ones but I’m not sure for this tank

 

[Katrina71]

I think your wish list sounds pretty grounded.

 

[Katrina71]

Did you say you guys have a family tank as well?

 

[brett_schn]

Did you say you guys have a family tank as well?

No we used to have a 55g freshwater many years ago. We will be getting a 5-6ft 100+ gallon tank in the next few years

Please post more pics when you get your new lights.

I bought the rodi to keep costs down.
It wasn't the water that was expensive.

Me too. I'm currently setting up a dual tank set up for saltwater, now the only reason to go to my LFS is for fish and food

 

[Katrina71]

I can go as often as I like. I am totally disciplined. Lol

Do you have a moonlight for your tank? I assume this is in your bedroom.

 

[brett_schn]

It’s in my bed room and no I don’t have a moon light. Maybe Black Friday I’ll get a nice led so I can do that too. New light fixture comes in tonight but I haven’t ordered the bulbs. I’m still stuck on what I should do. I’m thinking 2 outer blue+ and then purple+ or actinic and a coral+ for sure

 

[Katrina71]

I would never get out of bed if I had a tank in my bedroom! I do really like the moonlight. Let's me watch any time.

 

[brett_schn]

I’ll for sure get an led strip for it soon then. The t5 fixture came and is is the perfect size for me. Now I need to diy a splash gaurd and a mount. It came with 4 6500k 24w 24” bulbs which means I should be able to use the ati ones. Now I need to decide and order the bulbs. I will highly recommend this fixture.

Pics please. Looking forward to your diy.
