Deeznutz HD 120 Long Rimless

I used 3/8" glass for my baffles. Just to be safe.

I picked up some "aquarium safe" silicone from Home Hardware. It's "Weather Shield" brand, and sells for around $5 a tube

Yup, I've also used the home hardware stuff to even build a tank with good resukts

Wish I could keep up with you, Congrats on getting the display wet. Hope to see everything come together smoothly.

We're both going at our own speeds. I'm far from corals though. Still have to plumb this sucka!

Thanks for the info guys. I've ordered my glass, should be here tomorrow. I wanted to do 3/8" but they only had 1/4 available. Oh well.

Now I have to go pick up some silicon.

 

[EricTMah]

1/4" will be just fine. The only reason I went thicker was cause I'm a little rough when it comes to cleaning and servicing equipment.

So I got my tank up and running!

Nice!!

Thanks guys, I'll try to get some better pic up tonight

I'm just trying to figure out this tanks chemistry. Tank is so young, some corals are doing great while others are suffering. Mainly SPS, but this was to be expected.

Hey all, so it's time for another quick update. I've had a chance to play around with the EcoTech Radion XR15 pros. These lights combined with the Reef link and RMS mounts are pretty hard to beat. The program is pretty easy to navigate after you familiarize yourself with it. I had to update the firmware of all the lights, MP40's and Reeflink before I could start to really play. I'm only using presets and have started to acclimate my corals to the light with the auto function.

I'd like to get a bit more advanced with the lights (custom colour for best growth etc) and wanted to know where I can find this info? Any direction would be great!

On to the pics!

Thanks for following

Friken awesome!
Are you going to lps ?

 

[deeznutz]

Thanks guys. It's really nice to have a tank running again
The tank is going to be SPS dominated, but I'll have lps and zoos in there as well.
