My simple 2ft rock scape

I will try to take a picture to show you. My 2ft measurement is 24" by 20" by 20", not the usual 2ft size. The height of the MH light where it is hung also makes a difference.

This is how I fix my MH Light as I do not wish to drill hole onto the wall. If not next time want to shift my tank also difficult. In addition, the height can be adjusted easily.

Using bolts and nuts to hold the stand to the cabinet.


Put my MH light into position and secure it properly.


Temporarily holding the 2 holders in place for the MH will cable ties. The MH light is ready to be used.

I am keeping it at 26 degree celsius. I did a slight modification to my chiller with an external temperature sensor that can be place into my fish tank thus by passing the sensor that takes the temperature from the internal compartment. This helps to take a more accurate reading of the temperature of my fish tank and reduce in kick in frequency (save electrical bill).

If you have the money, go for Arctica brand chiller. Very effective. I have also see people using air-con compressor to run as a chiller.

Bro how do the modification??? U solder the sensor to the chiller?

Don't need to solder. There is a connector that can be disconnected easily. Just disconnect the sensor to the the internal box and connect it will the external sensor to your tank.

nice setup bro...... going to start planted too but seems very hard to maintain
