I Waaaants It, Precious!

[platedlizard]

This is for the fish-geeks.

24 gallon nano cube with 72 watt high intensity compact flourescant lighting! That's three watts per gallon, a bit low for a reef tank (7 watts per gallon is ideal) but ought to be fine for mushroom and soft corals. It's also ideal for a planted freshwater aquarium. Right now I am dreaming of getting two of these things, one for my 'big' planted tank I want, and the other for my dream-reef. It has a built in three stage filtration system, as is it should be just fine for the plants (although I may remove the charcol, because the plants ought do enough chemical filtration on their own, that's what plants do!). I may have to add a protien skimmer to the reef tank, but there's room for that.

The bad thing about them is that they don't have metal halid lighting. I can understand why, with that closed lid there would be massive build up of heat and that would be bad, but it means that the tank would not have the glitter lines! I want my lighting to appear natural, damnit! Oh well.

And all for the low, low price of $160, according to Drs. Foster and Smith's.

Hi.

I am stalking you from parrot lovers. I am a con fan, and wanted to see if were you lived, you were were close to any cons i went to.

I see that you are a fish fan also. I have drool over the same fish tank. but am being given a 125 tank, so can not be justified spending the cash for a smaler tank.
hugs hange in there and love.
