Good job luna. When you post your youtube video just put the letters and numbers after the "=" in your post between the youtube quotes. If you want to see what I posted just hit the quote button on this post and you will see the link to your video.

Thank you. It was either that getto looking refug or spending at least $400.00 in a better looking one. The rubbermaid container was $6 at Target, the LS was $20 for a 20lb bag, about $15 for the hardware and the only expensive thing was the lights $77 for 12" (2) 18w 7100k daylight bulbs from Coralife. For a total of $118, give or take. Luna

that looks great! nice job. i lol'd for real when you said "my whole freakin day buildin this" i can relate to that.
Well, its not like Im challenged or anything, but as Im doing it, Im trying to think of everything so I dont shoot myself in the foot. I try to think of what could happen now and the future. Luna
Luna I'm not questioning what you did, looks good and all, but I'm hoping you went a bit overboard on the lights - I'm hoping that because I'm doing a similar setup and was just planning on using a shoplight or a compact flourescent like you'd use in a regular light fixture. From what I understand the fuge doesn't need high dollar lighting, hopefully somebody will chime in that knows more about that.

I agree with you, but from my understanding, Mangroves need good lighting. I had them under MH for a while and didnt want to under light them, if you know what I mean. Luna
