guys, guys, its ok! that was there when i took the pic because ive been plugging and unplugging stuff all day turning things on and off. i intend to mount it someplace safe (probably behind the 30 gallon tank). also when ive got everything the way i want, it wont looks so cluttered and crappy.

im just a disaster waiting to happen arent i?

Re: a crazy mans aquarium mod...

new pics! the macros are growing in quite nicely. i want this tank to basically be a big bush of macro algae (but pretty stuff, not just chaeto). im using a flood light as lighting for it. i know its not the best choice, but the macros like it and it was only $5...

Re: a crazy mans aquarium mod...

I know that this is an old thread, but I'm wondering how it all worked out. Did it stay together? Did it break from standing on it's side instead of the bottom or did that piece of Plexiglases work out? If you still have it, got any pics?
