Description:
48" Long 55 gal. tank. Cheap T8 lighting, upgrade to led eventually. Bubble wand.

I work for water treatment company so they gave me a digital controler and stand alone heating controler. I'm using the main controler to monitor temp and to control when the heat comes on/off. also using the controler to run light cycle. could use it to also do ph monitoring but havent. First go around with a painted background. it turned out ok, could be a lot better. but I do like the white look instead of usual black or blue. 5 Boesmani Rainbows, 7 Emperor Tetras
