Well thanks to smitty and his wifes awsome pony tank i finally got motivated and setting up a pony tank. Seems to be half circle 12 gal maybe 14 idk. I had everything laying around . Slapped it together in half hr lol if that. I have to talk with wife but believe im gonna take a swing at dwarfs. More work but so cool. With that said alsi havent decided on live or fake leaning towards fake coral to ease the stress in me . Need to decide soon though so i can slap together my leds and mount em heres the start
Probably gonna do white back ground to keep the ponies brighter

Hahaha.....suuuurreeee....blame me! Lol

I can't wait to see this beauty come to life...if you don't want to do live corals, you could probably do a nice micro algae setup.

What color spectrum will you be running your leds, and will you make them dimmable or just naturally low intensity?

Probably more like a planted tank spectrum if i do macro. drivers i have r not dimmable they run 10-18 3w bulbs i aet up 15 stars and cab bypass if needed also will try without optics. Plus prob make a floating canopy so be able to move up and down. What do u run to keep gorganians alive

I currently have a par 38 bulb from coral compulsion with the goose neck fixture over them. I believe it's a 14K, and i have it dimmed down some.
