Incubus_doubled Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 i didn't get to go to the LFS today but i did swing by HD to get a sheet of light diffuser(egg crate) and some zip ties. Got home, washed and filled the tank to test for leaks. so far so good. Not sure if i'll be painting the egg crate or leave it white As far as the lighting not sure yet on what to get, light on pic is the skyye 8 watt led skyye 8w LED with eggcrate eggcrate pic2 Link to comment
Incubus_doubled Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 so i decided to do a mesh screen to place on top when my cat is around or so my son won't throw anything in the tank, made it out of mill aluminum frame with, plastic corners, mesh, and some spline. I probably cover it up with something so it won't look to tacky the aluminum color over the tank or prob paint it. spline mesh screen complete Link to comment

Incubus_doubled Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Okay so several of you recommended me to get rid off the egg crate.. So its gone... Added live rock and sand, I know it's going to create a mini cycle but i place everything on my other tank until this is finishing cycling an its ready to go I have a MH which i'll be updgrading to a kessil next month.... Debating between the skyblue or the ocean blue what you guys think? I'll be placing pics Later today Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'd say skyblue because oceanblue seems a bit too blue imo. Looking good so far. Can't wait to see those acans in there soon!! Oceanblue will make the colors of the corals pop more though. P.s. Don't you think the grill is a bit too close to the tank? Wouldn't you be worried that while you're cooking, little amounts of food will drop into your tank?? ahah Link to comment
