| Re: What is your ideal aquarium size?
I would want a wall unit with three different habitat areas sand for my stingrays, starfish LR for my fish and then finally LR/LS for my inverts. This way i dont have to buy a hug MH lamp and i can concintrate on certain area of living habitats.
So it would have to be about 15' wide, 48" deep, 36" tall inclosed in a wall.
Hey that sounds like my Living room wall and what do you know the Garage is on the other side making it easier to do. Hey VAMP75 ready for a new project? | |
