This is an entry for a contest on another forum. Might as well post it here as well. My goal isn’t to crash this tank. Between 3 cats and 2 kids 4 and under I’ve got a pretty nice shot. Hell, I might manage to crash it myself.



tank:

Boring old rimmed 2.5 gallon aga



equipment:

a light, I’ll find something



a heater, my basement doesn’t get very warm. I have a 75 watt cobalt or a 50 watt aqueon. We’ll see what ends up working.



a filter, I originally bought a seachem tidal 55 butttt I had a mishap on my black water tank (little bit of a drip at the connection to the online heater. Tried to tighten it. Ended up shattering a lily pipe somehow. Managed to fry the Kessil power supply). Holy crap do I like the tidal though. This pico might not be good enough to purchase another one . So I’ll find something laying around here eventually



I don’t know about any other equipment. I will probably paint the back of the tank blue. Or stick a bunch of painters tape to the back.



Livestock plans:

not sure, I like soft corals.
