Alright so this project has been put on hold for a bit my wife is talking about moving back down to Cali. I see know point in building it if I'm not gonna bring it with me. So I'm post poning it for now. I think I might still do part of it like my lighting system. I have decided to go with led...

The spot I was gonna put it originally was near a window but the window was gonna be covered so no light would get through. I'm in the process of getting a loan to get a new house so the place it's going will change yet again once I get the house. Hopefully they let me know I'm accepted soon so...

Ok after some thought and looking at a few things i think i might go with some 10w Super Actinic blue hybrid Led's. was thing about spreading them out with 5 along the back 5 along the front and then 2 in the middle and 1 on each side heres a small little layout of it. I know its a crappy...

New update I just did the frame for the canopy. currently it's sanded and ready for it to be painted / polyed. I did a layout for were the lights will be. I want to put a few T5 blue plus but not sure how I'm going to put them in. I was thinking about sticking some 24" ones the width way 2...

Well I'm looking into getting some of the hammertone like u have cause those ones you made look cool. But if I can't find a good supplier out here I'll have to try something else. Do you think the radium bulbs will work or is that a no go? I wanted to use those on my tank. If not I can always...

I plan on hanging them from my ceiling over my work bench I like working on various things and the fluorescent up there don't really provide enough light. I think I'm only going to use 1 for that though. They are a lot brighter then I thought they would be. That one I tested lit up my garage...

Got a question i happened to pick up some 400w metal halide lights from off of craigslist for my garage there actually shop lights as you can see from the pics. i got them real cheap so i was wondering if i switch the bulb in one of those to like a 10000k would that be able to work with my tank...

Ok so it took me a lot longer to get back to this do to a lot of stuff happening but I am back again. Like i said last time i modified the table a bit and the size of it has been changed it is now 64x26. I have decided im going to still make the 220g and just make the tank taller so my actual...

Well there has been a new update on my stand. It's been dismantled. While I was looking at it earlier I decided I didn't like the way it was so apart it went. I started putting it back together with same pieces the way I want it to make sure it's sturdy enough and b4 I knew it the stand shrank...

That's pretty good I was thinking I was going to have to spend like $300 on one and if I need a second one I can just buy another one of those.

How much did that one run you?

I thought about adding the door on the side as well but I have to figure out where I'm going to put the tank exactly if I decide to leave it where it's at or put it in my living room by the window. Of course I would have to put a thick curtain on my window to block the sun. As for the sump I'm...
