Dr.eclipse May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 thats right! .91 gallons! this tank will be packed with maxi mini anemones and will have about 5-6 sexy shrimp. ive already bought a light upgrade, a 6 3watt led kit. i dont plan on using all 6 leds, but thats the smallest kit they had.

Origami May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 That's really cool. Just curious, how do you manage evaporation in a tank this small? Will you do daily, manual top-off or will you use some sort of ATO? Also, it seems that a tiny tank like this one might benefit from the lightweight DIY LED project that hlem posted about last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it seems that a tiny tank like this one might benefit from the lightweight DIY LED project that hlem posted about last week. evap will be dealt with manually for now, until i come up with a way to make an ATO small enough for the tank. but there is a lid on the tank so evap isnt terrible. ive got a diy led kit on the way. and heatsink i got from work. heatsink Edited May 29, 2012 by Dr.eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 Love the heatsink. It looks like the head of a motorcycle engine. I think that'll do the job of dissipating some heat, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that'll do the job of dissipating some heat, don't you? yeah im hoping it will be able to handle 3-4 leds, i really dont want to get a fan. and its actually a cpu fan that i got from an old computer at work.
