got the cabinet all finished up the way that i want it.

[d'Espresso]

I will be taggin along too. gonna sit down one day and read your thread. So far your stand looks incredible! i wish i have the tools to build a stand like that. i cheated and just bought a VANITY stand and add on some 2x4's for better stronger foundation supports. But also i would like to comment on your scape. That is one of the best scape i have ever seen. Thanks for checking out and i will do the same!

[M&C]

i have been looking for a cleaner but no one around here has a nice one. they all seem sickly to me almost grabbed a porcelain crab today too

 

Check the salty critter in vermilion:

Give them a call or shoot an email. They usually have Cleaner Shrimp.

 

If you don't want to make the drive, I can pick 'em up and meet you since they are technically closer to me than you I believe.

[Spirofucci]

Man, that tank and stand got it all goin on!!! I think I said it beofre, but that scape is the shizz. Let us know how the valve works for the ATO.

Nice new cardinals! Coming along nicely I see.

Thank you sir. Likewise

[ccapasso]

Hopefully your cardinals last longer than mine

 

Before I put the Mantis in, I had 1 cardinal. It was in for a few days then over the weekend. When I came back to work, it was MIA. Found its remains when cleaning, lol. Pretty sure my hermits ate it.

that might be worth a try. only thing is how to mount it.

 

 

needs to go about there.

[ccapasso]

They don't look that heavy. Maybe Velcro them to it?

[twan]

Like the 'scape and the stand organization below.

[d'Espresso]

Do not use Velcro to mount your moonlight. Back in 2010 I had a moonlight Velcro to the sunpod and one day I was out of town and came back later that night to a disaster. All my corals got fryed except for some acans and my two fish. -lesson learned. Just go ahead and drill it or find another solution and do it right the first time right please. Good luck!

 

Best regard,

David

Good point

 

Looks like I won't be suggesting Velcro again

That'd work. I'm gonna order one and see how it works. I kinda wanna do a whole DIY led kit.

You will need a heat sink or something of the sort with the kit but I think it is good kit. Martin is most helpful if you have any questions. Another option might be to spend more and get a moon light with controller that simulates the lunar cycle. If you use a controller you may be able to just add a module to your existing controller. If you don't have a controller you can buy a stand alone.
