I have 11 tanks and the cost of wattage is getting uncomfortable. I had to put in an extra 20A circuit in my house to keep the circuit breakers from blowing all the time.
I have mostly planted tanks (with fish) and they are working out well. You can see some shots on my gallery.
I have also been fairly successful at breeding guppies and Giant Danios. I have a batch of 25 GDs an inch long right now.
Which brings me to the question. I'm thinking of trying using a well cycled plantless tank without any light but ambient for raising up fry. If I limit my feedings to daytime hours, it seems like it might be a good way to control the watts and continue the progress I'm making with breeding.
Any thoughts?
