  1. Nice little tank. Love how clean it looks, hope you keep it that way as you fill it. Very zen.
  2. I just love those platinums. The whole group looks great, Kim! And the tank is easy on the eyes as well.
  3. Frank - can you tell me your thoughts on paint vs. powdercoat for the steel stand?
  4. Sounds like our stands are going to be quite similar. I'm also building a 300g setup, although it's an unusual footprint - 60x48x24 center overflow. Been following your quick preparations your new setup anxiously. I think we're both talking to Charles about sumps also...? That would be too funny!
  5. Looks like things are moving along nicely Frank. Bet you'll be happy to see water in that tank in a few weeks! Nice looking stand Taylor. Looking forward to working with you on mine as well.
  6. Umm... there's something wrong with that? (scratch) Looks pretty organized to me. (whistle)
  7. Says it's not FDA food safe though, that would concern me...
  8. This is a world-class system you're putting together here. It's a privilege just to be getting these daily updates.
  9. Great looking setup so far. One question - can you explain to me how the filter sock setup is going to work? Will water just cascade over the top of them and then down and through? I wonder if all the waster material will end up in 1 sock rather than spread across them.
  10. I'm gonna have to check these coldwater tanks out at some point as well. This truly looks like *fun*!
  11. Awesome to see the final product. Did you happen to catch any shots of how you mounted the assembly into the housing? That's the part I never see anyone complete, and yet the part that concerns me the most (well, mostly because I've never seen it done). By the way, you should probably tune your optics once you mount the unit at a specified height over the tank. That way you can control light spillage and ensure that you're actually *using* all of your usable light. Plus you'll need to make some decisions, such as whether you want continuous light coverage across the whole tank on prefer to spotlight certain areas more brightly than others.
