    Question.. do you float this because the weight is bad on the top of the tank?  I'm thinking of building one, but was going to rest mine on tank top.

    On mine I floated it because I have a shallow lagoon tank so a canopy on top would look kind of funny. Other reasons are with a shallow lagoon it allows me to still enjoy a top down view. It also allows me to easily access the tank, it provides for better air circulation, without installing fans, and lastly I just preferred the look of a floating canopy over a set on top canopy. I just felt it looks a little more modern and open.

  2. Got tired of my lights just hanging there, in the open, so I finally decided to build a floating canopy. Still need to trim and finish it and trim and re-finish the stand but I am pretty happy so far. I added before during and after photos.

  4. I have had a few Copperbands over the last 15 years or so because I love the look of them but was never lucky enough to get one that did anything to aptasia. I honestly have had better luck with peppermint shrimp and you know how hit and miss they can be. I bought the product F Aiptasia and stay on top of it now. When I see one I just hit it with the F aptasia and it is gone. Works on runaway GSP too. As for quarentining, my experience only, I have never quarentined a fish but the copper bands can be pretty sensitive so I would look for one that has been healthy in a shop for awhile. They also seemed to be a gentle fish and are prone to being picked on by others so make sure the rest of your fish are a friendly sort.

  5. My stand is 36" tall and it is perfect while your sitting on the couch or chairs in the living room. I could go for a bit taller if your standing up close to the tank, maybe 42", but the stand was originally built for that exact seapora tank your looking at. I ended up changing to an advanced acrylics 48x24x12 with 3/4" acrylic; which, I got used from cuttlefish for a very fair price. I can tell you the seapora I had prior was well built and looked nice. I wouldnt hesitate on that tank if you are interested in doing a lagoon style tank. I really enjoy my lagoon. Cool reefscape opportunities and super easy to clean and move things around (no wet shirt sleeves). I wouldnt go back to another deep tank myself.

  6. That seapora 80 is a nice tank and the shallow depths make a really cool lagoon tank. You can do some cool things with a lagoon and lighting it is no worries. Here is a picture of my lagoon and it is only 12" deep76dacf61a3475cabdb34aedd71750df7.jpg

  8. Looking to buy a single XR15 G4 Pro. If it has a slide mount that would be great but I can buy one if not. Thought I would see if anyone had a used one before I buy retail. Let me know
