29g tank custom built drip dose system and recirculating protein skimmer

hopefully this can give you some ideas for a weekend project on your nano. This is a great tank for anyone who likes nano aquariums but likes the complete set up of larger systems. I custom built the stand, refugium, lighting systems, recirculating protein skimmer, drip system, and drilled/plumed it up.
thanks for watching

nice tank, how did you figure out the dosing?

[hugo2x]

@322sheffield Dose, test, dose, test. after a while, I knew how much was needed daily.

So there not attached to any studs in the ceiling?

[hugo2x]

@184445 nope, I just used the same anchor and chain that's used for shop lights.

Nice tank. Just had a quick question on how you hung the lighting. Did u have to find some studs in the ceiling or just used some of those hooks that buttery open after you screw them in the dry wall?

[hugo2x]

@184445 yeah, I used dry wall anchors with expanding wing nuts
