Hey all,
I just won a Fluval Edge 6 gallon tank from the local pet store. Anyhoo, I would like to convert it into a pico saltwater for a couple shrimps and maybe a crab...things I don't have in my reef tank. I might try a limited amount of coral too, but only if I can find a way to upgrade the lights in the tank. The lights that come with it are two 10w halogens. I don't have the tank yet. I'm going to pick it up on Monday so I'm not entirely sure what the sockets for the lights look like. Hopefully, I can find something better to go there, or perhaps rig up somthing else. I've heard that the filter on the thing actually does a pretty good job. I guess time will tell. Had anyone heard about people retro-fitting this aquarium for saltwater use and what changes they made to the aquarium? I would love any suggestions.
