RK_tek Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I like the low profile light arms. Care to share a source on those? Quote Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Aquarium background inspiration I dont like black or blue background, it's about time to experiment! I'm really curious what you're going to do. I don't really like the blue, I've done the classic black, which is fine, but with my new tank the stand and fixtures are all going to be white to match the furniture, and I think the black would be too stark. I did white on a pico, and wasn't a huge fan... Gotta think of something soon, lol Ombrè? I have no clue what's going on. Haha I'm liking the background idea Ombrè is one color fading into another, or one color going from really vivid to faded. Like those women who look like they're growing out a dye job...

I'm way cooler than hipsters I like the low profile light arms. Care to share a source on those? The light arms are super simple. You can find parts in your local hardware store. Here is the list that I got for those arms: 12" threaded rod (the arms) Bolts + Nuts that match the threaded rod L brackets 2 Toggle Bolts to connect the rod to the wall I will post a close-up pic soon I'm really curious what you're going to do.

Lady Bug is taking over my hipster thread I run into the same problem, my metal stand is white and solid maple top, the black is just too strong visually, the white is hm the same as the wall LOL.....

Aw, I could never do that, I've got too much geek in me My walls are pink(since I was a baby, lol...soon to be grey, I hope!), so that's really not an option I've used a frosted finish from the spray paint section before on a FW tank, and I think I'm going to go with that.

xcom Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 How do you like the vega? I love it! The color are popping like crazy. The only annoying issue is the loud fan noise, but AI is saying that they will have a firmware update to fix the problem. Aw, I could never do that, I've got too much geek in me My walls are pink(since I was a baby, lol...soon to be grey, I hope!), so that's really not an option I've used a frosted finish from the spray paint section before on a FW tank, and I think I'm going to go with that. I was going to do frosted background as well! Well.... if my spray job is not coming out right, I might just do that hahaha. I'm still looking for a thin sheet of PETG/Acrylic to spray. My plan is: chrome + white + black spray paint overlapping LOL Did you order the tank already? Yup, ADA mini S! Pics coming tmrrow! Quote Link to comment

buddythelion Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm curious as how you'll be able to pull if off. We all got some really big expectations! Quote Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 That sounds awesome! I hope it works, I can't wait to see it Quote Link to comment
xcom Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Pics! Tada #latenightreefer #toomuchcaffeine Too lazy to adjust the camera to the new Vega, the rics colors look much better in person. To do list: 1. Hide the light cord 2. Hide the equipment in the tank 3. Figure out how to improve some dead spot 4. get more oddball rics! (some of the rics have very subtle color morph, camera didnt capture it very well this time) 5. Background paint job.... Edited November 8, 2012 by trueisb2 1 Quote Link to comment
