SuncrestReef Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Looks good. Does that Apex mounting board have some sort of hinge to allow you to access the cables behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That angle you’re seeing is probably because the wall side of the tank stand is sitting on the tack strip for the rug. If you pull the tank off the wall 2-3” the slope will probably go away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The space between the glass and the level is the inside of the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for me😅 Jorge, how much does your light unit weigh? My 36" ATI hybrid unit weighs about 50 pounds with a big power/control cable attached and I don't trust sheetrock anchors for that. I assumed I would have to attach some 1x3 boards solidly to the ceiling and hang my light from them. Your way would be a lot easier for me if it would hold safely. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Hilti anchor that I use all the time at work. Only failure I have seen over the years was from stupidity...........they will hold a light up with no issues at all. I can get you a few if interested I use them all the time for handrails when there is no backing in a wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did own a 48" 8 bulb power module and without getting technical the ai hanging kit is a fraction of the weight compared to the ati! With the ati I had to climb up into the attic and run two small pieces of 2x4 horizontally to support the weight. On 12/14/2018 at 8:27 AM, SuncrestReef said: What’s the latest update on this tank? Are you just waiting for it to cycle? I literally added fish the next day after adding water! I got diatoms about 4 days after that were gladly welcomed by a small clean up crew! I did a small water change this morning. Tested for ammonia and came back at 0!😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
