check out my new 2.5g setup (PICS)

[m8r8j]

so i decided to set up a 2.5g on my bedside table to look at, as i needed a lamp there anyways!!! :icon_twis

its a 2.5g
-aquaclear 20
-hagen marina 10w heater
-fluval nano thermometer

and for the lighting i got creative, i purchased a gooseneck lamp from walmart, and found a 10 watt compact fluorescent 6500k bulb too!!!

will i be able to grow plants in here with this lighting? i was reading on the reef forum some kids used these bulbs with nano reefs.

its full of baby convicts right now so i can pick the best one for my 29g.. i might stock it with a betta and an otocat and a few snails once the convicts are out.

is the tank well cycled before the fishes went in? water looks cloudy though

just an update, put the lamp on top of the filter aiming down at the tank, and added a piece of driftwood.. and i also cut a piece of plexi glass for the top of the tank in case the light falls in if i bump it or something haha. added cycled media last night before bed and it seems to be clearing up now.

Great setup. Like the driftwood.

You should be able to grow plants in there, the bulb is powerful enough I think.

Cool, the plexi glass will also help against water evaporation

Looks good! How's the current with the AC20 on that little thing?

current is almost non existant believe it or not... the aq filters have adjustable flow rate so i have it all the way down but even still its definitely over 10x an hour
