Pats craving killer!!

[fishman1069]

So I went out and bought a little 10 gal rimless tank so I can satisfy my cravings for a tank! :d I used a AC 110 hob and thru some sand and rubble in there along with a 50 watt heater. Im also running my koralia 1 in there for some flow. I used rock that had been sitting outta water since I broke down my 75 two weeks ago. On the 2nd day (yesterday) my ammonia is at 4ppm!!! :-o I guess the cycling has begun lol Heres a couple of pics for now. Im going to be messing with the scape and maybe add a couple of more rocks. Hope you like :handgestures-thumbup:

Lighting for this bad boy lol

I was thinking of running a par 38 bulb to light this tank. What does everybody think? Im only going to gstock zoas and rics. I have a 24" t5 2bulb that I could hang over it but Im going to have to rig it up to hang. I also have to fix the switch on it. I kinda want to go leds, so the zoas will glow, but do you think 1 par 38 would be enough for a 10 gal? Thanx for any advice:hug:

Update: Fish and inverts

Well I really havent done anything with this tank due to some stuff goin on my my life. Its been cycled for almost 3 weeks now and I couldnt decide what type of fish I wanted or the light setup I was going to go with. i was out yesterday and stopped by Aqua Hut. I wound up getting a green clown goby, a baby cleaner shrimp( its so small lol) and 2 nassarius vibex snails. I still dont have the light I want but Im pretty sure Im going with this led bulb http://www.ledwholesalers.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=702 I rigged up a getto fixture with a standard clip light and a couple of blue led night lights,and hung it from the ceiling. It has a 5500k cfl in it right now just so I can see the fish lol The best thing is, I can just screw the led bulb in when I get it. Heres some pics

I just bought the same tank to start a Iwagumi planted fw tank

 

[fishman1069]

Yeah, its a sweet lil tank. Im guessing you bought it from Ray at Aquarium Village? Thats where i got mine. I was gonna get the 15 gal one but he didnt have anymore.

 

[CHEMCHEF]

Yea I got it from ray. 20 bucks. How can you go wrong? He had one 15 in the back but I thought it was a little too high for my taste.
