The ReefBox Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 So some plans have changed during the rebuild. My lighting is going to be 12 bulbs of ATI T5 using two new 60 fixtures. I will be supplementing with a DIY stunner LED with help from Rudy at GB. Looking to restore the shimmer and and UV. And now I am off to build an open top floating canopy to match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectra Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Stand looks sweet! What did you paint it with? I thought of painting mine when I built it but did not. Nice boat my neighbor has the same thing but in blue My poor butt can only afford a Chaparral and that's all I can really fit in my garage......

The ReefBox Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I used sherwin williams SOLO. Paint and sprayed with a 410 tip for that nice smooth finish. 3 coats of primer sanded before paint then two coats of semi gloss snowbound white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
