My new NPT

[Juicebox]

looks great,really nice growth,i see ur using a sponge filter in the back corner.did u buy it or make it yourself

[Nothingness]

I bought it. Was only $10 during our boxing day sales here in Canada. Its suitable for upwards of 125g

[Juicebox]

what is it, just an air pump with some tubing and a sponge at the end of it?

[Nothingness]

its a bigger version of this. Just hook up a airtube and pump to it and bobs your uncle. It has a open cavity in the middle where you can place any type of filter media in if you choose. I keep mine empty.

I use this size in my 2 10g tanks with my males

Thank you! Do you happen to know what the difference would be between the T5 and T8 bulbs? Are the T8 more energy efficient?

[Nothingness]

T5 are more efficient and tend to put out a brighter light in a smaller bulb. 2 12 in T5 High output bulbs are HIGH light. T5 fixtures also tend to cost a whole lot more

That is a seriously good-looking tank. :)
