GruntSculpin's Custom 10G


I am doing a completely custom 10 gallon. I'm picking up plastic to get started this weekend.

The plan is 15x12x12 which includes a 3" back space(not a sump) to hide the pump(s?) and heater. I don't know if I'm going to slap my AquaC on it yet. Pat McBride's store sells water, so lots of waterchanges will be the plan.


Relatively low PC lighting with softies.

Real plan to follow.

GruntSculpin.

Okay. The plan: A perfect 12x12x12 cube for my critters. I'm going to make the tank 15x12x12 so I have a 3" back room with room to hide two 404s and a heater, the back room will not be a sump.

The lighting will be retrofit PC into a hood of my own device, probably two bulbs for the width of the tank.

Livestock. I've got a plan. Its a secret. I think its pretty clever, but I'm going to try to wait until frebruary to reveal it.

Heater fried the tank. Things may be lost, may be not. I'll worry about it later tonight. =(
