Canada Corals 45g Sps Build Thread *pics*

[CanadaCorals.com]

I got a power switch to keep the electrical organized.

My lighting will be on a separate circuit because this power strip can only handle a total of 1800w. I had to drill some holes so that I could mount it to the aluminum profile.

Now I am on to aquascaping. I got some Caribsea Life Rock because I don't want to wait 12 months for coraline to cover the rock.

I am drilling the rocks with a 3/8" masonry bit for some 3/8" acrylic rods to stack rocks on-top each other.

I got it from avshop.ca.

The more popular model would be American DJ PC-100A

Each switch controls each plug on the back.

That's why build threads are so important. It gives people ideas for their own systems.

Got some goodies today.

The only thing missing is the sump and I can't find a builder that has time to do it quickly!!!

*first world problems... lol

Wow! That's going to be a tight fit under that cube!

Are you planning on sticking with the red/white theme with the plumbing? I think it would look killer with all red pvc for plumbing.

Yes, every inch under the stand is calculated and used.

I didn't have any plans to use red PVC but now that you mention it, I will consider it.

I figured with all the equipment you're using being red and white. I think red pvc with white elbows and connectors would look amazing. Maybe some white and red in the sump too would make under the tank just as stunning as what I'm sure you're going to do with what's going in the dt

methylene chloride works just like weldon3 and a fine tooth plastic blade cuts acrylic nice thats.... how i built my custom sump

I finally got the aquascaping finished!!!

I am really liking this Caribsea Life Rock.

It's so much easier on the eyes compared to bright white dry-rock and having to wait 10 months for coraline to kick in.

 

[EricTMah]

Looking good!

Ya that rock is so much nicer to start a new tank with. Eventually when coraline grows, you can't even tell the difference

Nice clean system. Love the rock scape.

 

[curiousphil]

Looks great. Are you going to run this tank barebottom?

Love the rock... assuming you sell it... what does it go for per lbs? I asked you the same question over on RC too

Yes we did start offering it in-store.

It sells for $5.69lb (not cheap for dry-rock) but I personally feel its worth the premium.

That isn't too bad
