10g rimless zoa display

yeah i feel ya on that the tube sticking down from the tank always bugged me, but it did hide my heater in the fuge

 

water temp started out today at 69. i put in a 100w heater today and had it cranking. came home and the temp was up to 87!
so do you think this little guy will work? Aquarium Heater - Mini - 7 1/2W - up to 5 Gallon | Aquarium Heaters | Fish Tank Heaters | Aquarium - ThatPetPlace.com

 

I used a 25w heater in my tanks... 5.5gal and 2.5gal...

 

what type? i like this once because it can be hidden under the sand.
how large were the 25w ones

 

I was going to use one of these on my dwarf tank until I read all of the negative reviews. Almost everyone complained that it would'nt warm the water more than a degree over ambient temp so I figuired why bother. I've other things I can waste twenty bucks on.

 

Looks like a fun little project!... looking forward to seeing more..

 

Sounds good. I like the minimal look. I'm just wondering how cloudy/hazy the water might get, and stay, without powerheads or a filter....there's gonna be like no water movement. I know zoas aren't very demanding, but can they handle no flow like that? And the other corals too?

 

i have a maxijet 1200 in there right now. its borderline of too much.

I will just do massive waterchanges to clean up the water when it gets all fouled up

 

Ahh okay, I missed that you have a powerhead in there. Sounds good!!

 

this sounds so sick! get posting the pictures to let us know what you do! i would drill it have a 40 gallon sump and have alot of things that pop like you said. I would do a short sand bed just for looks but bacteria would grow in it anyways lol.
