(2x36W) - 02 units three 10K tubes and one artinic. OR 4x36W - 01 unit also 3 10k and 1 artinic 2. sump (with DSB grade 0 sand and marcoalgae on reverse photoperiod) 3. a suitable Weipro skimmer for the sump. which model should i be getting for a 3 feet? 4. tunze stream - 01 unit (which model should i be getting? ) Or should i be getting a Rio? 5. fan. (protechic fan) - 01 unit 6. eggcrates. (aquascaping) 7. anything else? oh yeah, anybody knows any freelance tank makers? the prices quoted by some LFS kinda steep. gerald maybe? anyone got his contact/email? i think email better. jon.
