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 :huh:

 

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... :P;)

Hahaha Good stuff. I love how you're being creative with this hipster thread....lol.
Hipsters... :lol:

 

:lol:!!!! I'm way cooler than hipsters B)

 

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

Lady Bug is taking over my hipster thread :ninja:

 

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 B)

 

My walls are pink(since I was a baby, lol...soon to be grey, I hope!), so that's really not an option :P 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.

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.

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 :rolleyes:

 

Did you order the tank already?

 

Yup, ADA mini S! Pics coming tmrrow!

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....
