[blu23girl]

e_baer, that is a great looking tank!!!

[blu23girl]

What kind of lights do you have on there e_baer??

[e_baer]

I have all PC lights. Each bulb is 65w. (4) 12k and 2 actinics and 4 blue LED's

that is a total of 390w in a 55g which mean about 7.1wpg.

Ok guy's we cant have a Tank of the Month With only 1 tank entered! I am sure everyone wants to see Elliott Win, but we need some competition. Is it that we are all waiting for the Christmas Camera to take new pictures of their system?

[rlcline76]

Elliott is the ultimate competitor. I'm sure he would smoke my tanks!

[Jeremy0322]

Can moderators post their tanks. If so i think jv and rlcline should post theirs. If not then next month should definitely be moderator tank month.

[rlcline76]

Moderators can post their tanks...I would lose to pogodzib if we had a moderator tank competition.

I would enter my tank, but knowing I would have to write an essay if I won deters me right now. I can sum up what I like about my system with one or two sentences. Everything is growing, vertebrates and invertebrates alike. It is easier to produce my system's faults!

[e_baer]

Darn, I forgot about that essay!
