    Mirage's 2.5 gallon, yeah I've been bored!

    Yep, going to run sump in middle of stand, and ATO at the bottom so no gravity issues with topping off hehe. Yeah I have spare acrylic, wish someplace in town carried Weldon 4 :(

    Mirage's 2.5 gallon, yeah I've been bored!

    Thanks! Planning Zoas, Mushrooms, and a couple Birdsnests. The lighting will be LED. 1 Tiny 1" goby Trimma or Eviota most likely, and some small inverts. The sump will either be another 2.5 gallon or I may use a 10 gallon I already have baffled from my 40 gallon Hex setup. For the 10 gallon...

    Mirage's 2.5 gallon, yeah I've been bored!

    I always liked these little AGA tanks but one thing that drove me nuts was the silicone job, so I retouched all of the corners. Secondly I can't stand using HOB filters so I decided to just go ahead and drill this tank with 3/4" bulkheads. Not much comes close to the fun of drilling 1/8"...

    Damsel?

    Catalina would be awesome except they have shorter lives in tropical temperatures versus temperate setup. Do you have the link to that tank Krish? I've seen it before but I'd love to go read about it again. There are tons of Gobies that would work great in your tank. A damsel would work...

    Dwarf angels...are they compatible?

    I would not. Only way would be if they were introduced at same time it may work but i doubt it then.

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    That would be great actually, thanks! I really do want a smooth glass like finish to give the stand a more modern look to it. Any recommendations on brushes or sponges, and types of black latex paint and primer to use? I gotta clean up the garage so I can stop using the apartment for...

    The glass like finish sounds like what i want but the 20+ hours of sanding sounds not so fun lol.

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    Haha that helps a ton, thanks you two! The Par38s i haven't hooked up yet(they are about 5+" across), these lights are GU10 very small maybe 2" across. These ones i'd use just to add more blue

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    Another toy i was playing with recently. 4 watt chinese made GU10 LED blue bulbs. I was thinking about adding these to the setup as well to increase the blue further, there are 9 bulbs(36watts) on that 36" piece of 2x2.

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    Yep, i have a starting point at least now. I want the stand to be fairly straightforward so i want to paint it black, same with floating hood. What sort of prep and paint should i use to accomplish this. I'm using typical 1/4" plywood paneling. Haven't really done any woodworking or...

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    Haha you might be thinking what i was thinking. I found some industrial 20" long shelf brackets at Lowes and was thinking about drilling more holes in the top of them and mounting the boards on them with bolts. Then hooking them up to the adjustable railing along a board attached to back of...

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    Haha yeah my wife was being silly and doubting it was strong enough, so i jumped on it a bunch of times and it didn't budge. I'm like this tank probably won't weigh 150lbs full of rocks and water. I also tried the 29 gallon underneath to see how it would fit and it fits like a glove.

    Mirage's 12 Gallon Long

    I've been getting it skinned a little bit here and there, but mostly trying to finish up school for the summer. Hopefully i can spend more time on the setup soon.
