Aqua Pod Mod

[Bob P]

Decided to sump my old 24 nano
Slow winter 

[Bob P]

Working out good.
Trimmed the side black tape for more viewing area.
Will upsize the sump.
Had the 5 gal in the basement, good for R&D though
Made the mini shower drain to suit 1" overflow.

Looks great Bob !!  very impressive modifications. 

[Bob P]

Thanks.
One minor leak on return line. Just fixed it.

[Sharbuckle]

Looks pretty awesome so far, really good idea. cant wait to see progress.

[Bob P]

Loaded this Morning.
The waiting has begun.

Does anyone else see toadstool from mariokart in the second picture? 

[dakrazyone]

that's when you know you been looking at the tank a lil too long hahaha 

[Cheebs]

Awesome Bob!

I'm looking for toadstool... I don't see it, yet! I do see a roaring lion's head kind of, but no Mario Bros. characters.

[Bob P]

Oh Oh, I see the lion's head.
Is this a tank build or an ink blot session?

[brotherluv]

Mario Bros character Is dead center near bottom with purple on his mushroom head.  I see the lion as well. 

[Severum]

I saw toadstool! Look to the northwest of it and its a transformers face. Or maybe thats what others are calling the lion...

[Bob P]

L.E.D retrofit in the hood may be in the works.

[brotherluv]

I think you will love the LEDs if u go that way!  I'm excited to see! 

[Bob P]

How many are in each of the boxes on your 55?

[brotherluv]

I think theres 24 in total for each box I can count when I get home...Jet Jumper may be able to chime in  before that as he built them...

[JetJumper]

34 depending on if they have UV or reds.  so should be 30-34 each box.

[brotherluv]

Thanks that makes more sense!  one unit has 2 uvs and a red... One has 1 uv and a red.

[Bob P]

I still find they are not "bright" enough for my liking
Albeit they are strong enough for growth etc.

[brotherluv]

how is the tank coming along?  going to do the LEDS or stick with the current lighting?  decided what youre going to stock?
