Finally got around to taking some pictures of the Chi

Started with 7 rcs and now there's about 11 with 2 females berried again.
2x9w compact fluorescents, 10,000k and a 6500k.
Zoomed 501 for filtration.

Thanks! Haha yeah I had some ghost shrimp in there for a little while, needless to say their population was quickly decimated by the angels.

Ballast went out on the shrimp tank light the other week, instead of fixing it though I think I'm gonna test the waters of diy led's with a small fw build, a little practice for the jbj 24 cube. A little expensive for such a small tank, but the plan is to eventually add an arduino and diy auto-dosing system, nerd out with it, so a modular system was the goal.

Got most of my supplies today

Good luck on your LED build. Do you have a build list, and details on what your plan is?

Will it be for the plants currently in the tank?
