TheKleinReef Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 i dig it. any plans on painting the back? if you did that overflow box would be a ninja Link to comment
GtTap Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I will. I had paint on there but it peel off when it gets real wet so i wasn't sure if i wanted to pain the back or use one of those stick on from petco. My other crazy idea was to paint cardboard and then stick it to back of tank lol that way i can change it out with ease. Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 the black back looks awesome! how are you liking the LEDs? Link to comment
DannaM Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 LED's look great!!!! I love your rock scape. It makes the tank look really spacious. Lots of room for your SPS to grow Link to comment
GtTap Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 the black back looks awesome! how are you liking the LEDs? They are ok i wish i got leds with a controller. Its hard trying to tune these leds to the right spectrum and not risk burning up my corals. But T5 just make corals look way better maybe that's because you don't get the spot lighting effect.

My plan was to have sps on top and lps/ softies on the sand and lower parts of rock. Link to comment
