Alright boys and girls this is the moment i been waiting for.. for about 3 months.. and have been thinking of doing for the last.. year.
Finally i rounded up some money and got my 23 gallon HAGEN RIMLESS tank... WOOT WOOT, I also got a new stand to fit it from big als (i'd like to thank marius for bringing that out to chilliwack from burnaby for me.. really appreciated it dude). I got some florabase substrate and i got a sponge filter and a powerhead to drive the sponge filter. I put in that big piece of driftwood from my established 55 gallon tank to cycle it faster.... hopfully in about 4 days or so.. that should provide more then enough beneficial bacteria from the old tank to this one. Also got a submersible heater.. that auto sets itself to 78 F and that's the only setting it goes to.. nothing more nothing less.. no fiddling around with heat settings.
I'm going to be housing some Cherry shrimp and if those do well get some crystal shrimp ss grade.
Hope you enjoy the setup phase.. havnt figured out what i wanna do for plants ...
O YEA and i'm buying a JEBO Lighting hang over type lighting... from ebay... so i got a old. crappy 20w in it's place until i order it..
Here's the prices of everything:
Hagen tank 109.99 (50% off for me) 55.00$
Stand - Big als, 30x12 = 120$
Florabase substrate(1 bag for now) = $30
Sponge filter and attachement = 12$ i know it's a ripoff we have nothing in the wack tho
Powerhead that attached to filter - 24$
Submersiable heater - 24$
JEbo lighting - sure that'll be 100$
TOTAL: 365$
The look on my girlfriends face when she got home... PRICELESS!
Enjoy the pictures..
