    DIY moonlights for saltwater tanks

    I think this is a great find! I will definatly use it on my tank. I will probably need to use more then 2 units since I have a 125g tank. How far apart was the spacing with the two units you used? As for dimming them with a fan switch, that sounds like a great idea. Any type of resistor...

    Flow rate.

    2x4's v. 2x6's

    Just wanted to add my two cents. I have a 125g and I used 4x4's for the vertical posts but 2x4 for everything vertical. There has been no bowing or warping or any sings of stress. I even forgot to put a vertical support column in the middle of the lenght. You will be more the fine with 2x4's

    Did I just make a big mistake?

    So I'm a bit confused. You say to do one seam at a a time, the turn around and say to make sure I scrape out all of the old silicon since it does not like to stick to itself. So when my seams join together from the different sides, does that mean that there will be a bad seal since the silicon...
