Ok. The filtration is going to be an Ac 110 , with a fluval 405 connected to a 15 watt uv light. I knoe some of u may say why not a wet dry ?? Well . . . .these are spare filters i have lying around and i dont feel like dropping a few big ones on a wet dry. Probably add a couple powerheads as well but thats the filter plans.
The tank will get regular 50 gal a week water changes. Ph will be high, and should hopefully have this thing up and running by the end of January. Not going to try and rush it before the holidays and stuff! But ill keep posting updates and pics as i move on !!5 gal baby hecqui grow out

Yes the outside of the stand got a nice thick coat of black. The inside i left mostly bare the way i got it. Working on ideas for a canopy next ! Its possibly going to have both t5 ho and leds strips which i will hard wire into an electrical box using a double switch to control either lights from the front or side of the tank !5 gal baby hecqui grow out

ok update , dont have any new pics yet but got some new news
Picked a few new ballests yesterday for some lights, Its going to have a 48' and a 24' t5 ho on it. going to buy all new bulbs when i get it set up fully. Probably going to wire in some double bright leds as well nothing to fancy just some strips from an auto shop but they work really cool. Im going to cut a hole in the side of the stand mount a box and put a double switch there so i wont have to trun the lights on by each on, two switches. One for the led strips , and one for both t5 lights. Iv did the same thing on my four tank rack and its nice !!
No im not going rimless, just didnt have the trim on in that pic was in the process of re-sealing the top corners and trim.
I think im gona build a canopy for this thing to house the lights and give the tank a complete look. Nothing to fancy.5 gal baby hecqui grow out
