    Michaelwb's 8gallon biocube build!!!(pics)

I'm up to 18wattx3 so 54 watts 18 watt 10k and 36 watts actinic, I just hope heat doesn't become an issue, if not i may shove one more bulb in...

    i don't think the window will be too big of a concern, it's a side window on a house so the sun never hit's it so i should be fine, if it becomes a problem i'll definitely move it has anyone else noticed that the mini jet 606 has a kind of loud humming noise.
