diy frag swap display tank

[sharkdude]

Here is a pic of the tank I've put together to display frags at the SWCFM 2007. www.sw-cfm.com

I used stuff I already had around in my garage.
Its a 175 w mogul 10k ushio on an electronic ballast built into a freestanding 'fixture' made of old ikea shelving and some spray painted bead board. I put some adjustable slider feet on the legs to compensate for minor un-levelness. The fixture stands around 24 inches tall, and the tank is 13 inches tall, so I have about 5.5 inches of clearance to get my hand inside. Or I can just slide the light back out of the way for access. not the prettiest or slickest setup, but it works ok thusfar.
the tank is a 12 gal glass jbj nano. diy frag rack for zoas, etc with other frags to be placed directly on the bottom. I spray painted the bottom blue as an experiment to see if it reflects more blue light.
