reef165 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well I don't have any pics yet, basically as per usual I forget to take any till stand and hood are almost done. I have been piecing it together over the last couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Doesn't look like it worked. Are you using a photo storing program like photo bucket? If so, upload pictures and copy the "Direct link." In your thread, click the "A" which should open some options. Click the little picture image. That should allow you to post the link.

vanz Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I see a picture of a flower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yes, is a flower... Just was testing. OK, so a little about the tank, it is a cube (hopefully I can join the cube club ...) 30x30x22 it had a grand canyon of a grouve in it from someone using a finger to polish out a scratch, so after 6 hours of buffing wheel it is finally looking good. It came with a 2x4 stand with removable sides. I have reinforced it and plywooded it, then trimmed it with cedar 1x4's. Working on the hood now, and it will be trimmed with cedar as well. For lighting I'm using a huge 22x22 inch reflector and a 250 watt radiom, skimmer is a bubble max 2500, return pump is a ehime . pics to come.......

reef165 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 The cedar hasn't need clear coated yet but it is a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hood has light in it, just need to trim it out and decide on how I'm going to do the "doors", I want them to allow air flow through them so I'm leaning towards making a cedar frame and screening it with a layer or two of shade cloth.

Blue Z Reef Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looking good man! Hope those bulbs worked out ok for you. The drink was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ya they work great with great color but just not enough light so I went with 250 watt and will use the 175 on a frag tank. You said was good, so I gather the bottle is empty? Ive gone through 2 bottles in the last 5 days. I'm quite fond of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Haven't got much done on the tank, but I did get my aquascape done..... A lot of drilling and acrylic rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef165 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is going to be the new fish room...the top of the green trim door is the bottom of the floor trusses so plumbing is going through the floor in living room to the fish room, going to set up a 40b frag tank and then probably like a 40b sump.

That will take you to a ribbon of options. Find the little icon of the mountains. From the # sign, it is 3 to the left. Click that and input the URL from Photobucket. On Photobucket, you need to select the "Direct" URL. When you do that, you can post pictures that are bigger and we will be able to see stuff better.
