Fishsticks 50G Starphire Rimless Build

[fishsticks]

lol this is like a baby build of d2mini's old tank! Love it! Your tank looks awesome! I can't wait to have my tank in a new place so that I can finally get my sump looking as good as yours. How do you like your Reef keeper? I have heard mixed reviews on them so that's why I'm curious.

this is my second 1 for the price nothing is better IMO. temps r always accurate and readings like ph as well, it's very very simple to use.

Well, if it's working well, that's great. I just like the look of it. Nice and tidy in that cabinet!!! :D
I'm using a 23 watt CFL 6500K bulb from Lowes inside of a metal reflector. Looks like crap LOL

NOOOOOOO


26 watts is much better. It really makes a huge difference.
