arredondojason Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So I got a great deal on a sweet tank thanks to Upscales. The dimensions are 6x2x2 and fits perfect where I wanted it. So I got it home on the weekend and then got permission from the fiance to set it up, so been killing myself to setup for the last 2 days and I am starting to fill it with water tonight getting my sand and rock in tomorrow. Well here are some pics of what I got so far. filling with water with just the VHOS MH and VHOS lighting from the canopy And finally for now 2 pics of this massive skimmer More to come.(naughty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hope you did not have to wipe to much of my drool off that thing when you got it. I would gawk at that thing almost as much as the corals every time I went in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Are those long power strips controlled? I see your pc4, but was currious if the long ones were controlled by the RKE in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arredondojason Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 No they are not they are just like DJ strips the PC1 that is plugged into on above the RKE is part of the system and runs my MH's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
