I figured I'd start another tank, since I had my 3g with water still in it sitting I figured it would be a good tank to do something with.
Back California alot of marine plants were banned, so I never really considered a marine planted tank.
so i have a 3g with a ac110 and a 70w mh I figure it would be a waste for them to sit. So today I went to the shop and built a simple plywood stand/hood for it, I dont want to paint it, but I didn't edge band it(would have taken a couple hours) so i just left it, if I get really into this tank ill do something about it.
I also put a 3" piece of acrylic in the tank so i can fill the back of the tank higher with sand for the mangroves.
I built it tall so the mangroves can grow tall and u can see them.
I'm also going to cut the intake on the filter so its higher in the tank, and paint the back black.
I'm also going to put a smaller impeller on the filter to slow the flow down.
I'm going to stock it with mangroves, different macros and eventually dwarf sea horses.
