And, I fell in love with the idea about a year ago.
I got the tank at Petco, at $15 (dollar per gallon sale, modern version), and it only cost me $8 for the piece of acrylic to make the divider, and the hood for the tank, with incandescent light sockets, to be used with LED versions of the bulbs, was only $31. So, this meets my goal of a very cheap way to do what I want to do. |
