My 2.75g pico coldwater

DONT!!! Hang on let me show u how I did it for venting on my indoor box for my garden veggies.

Theyre fairly self explanitory. Phone charger (I used a power cord for an old modem) 120V input 12v output (match for your PC fan) and make sure that the charger puts out more amps than the fan uses or the fan will run slow. You can also use a 17V on a 12V fan and give it a speed boost but it severely shortens the life.

Thanks a lot. I was wondering about the amperage. and now i know

No problem man. Im actually sitting here building a box to go where those 2 are. Its going to hold 8 in basically the same amount of room as those 2

Hope your wiring dosent take an hour and a half like my "simple" box did.

You guys are really good at this whole DIY stuff.

Just common sense >.>

Of course, <_<.

Well it is summer now and the chiller cant get anywhere below like 62 degrees. So i decided tnot to go coldwater and I decided to do subtropical with native stuff I catch around here.

Yay subtropical! It's always fun to do a native tank. Are there tidepools on the gulf? I've never bee before so i don't know, but from what i here the gulf has small waves and no tide.

Cool, get some pics up!!!!

We do have tides. The beach looks jsut like any tropical beach. White snad blue water. I am going colelcting and shark fishing Tuesday-Thursday. I am going to be taking tons of pics with my underwater camera!

That's so cool. I just always imagined the gulf as gray and polluted. But white sand and blue water works to .

The farther east you go the bluer it gets. Where i live it looks liek chocolate milk. But i am going collecting at the Alabama-Florida state line.

Yeah...like Miami . What are you planning on getting? 2.75USg's is pretty small.

lol, everything I caught I put in the tropical tank. But I am not telling yall what they are yet. I wan to see your reaction when I make you wait. lol

I went colelcting at the right time though. That stupid oil spill is approaching my colelcting spot and is already destroying my beloved marshes.

. Is there anything in your tropical tank? Subtropical waters are really seasonal tropical-temperate waters i guess. But anyways...what is it?!

ouch... i've heard that oil spill is conitnually pouring oil into the seas
Well I hope your area gets better.

I know, the risks of oil drilling .

I still want to see the pics.

tommorow... lol Yep teh oil cannot be contained for about 90 days... <_<

Yeah, that really sucks with the oil.

Pictures though, and a list of what you got for your tank! Tomorrow of course, on my birthday .
