spectra Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I like how your garage pictures have blue reef tank lighting Looks great! What does the overflow box look like from the display side? Well there is a 20K radium about a foot away ATI took a crap and had to get another power supply......I never hooked it back up just left it old school. Here is a pic from before but can get a better one tomorrow I am crashing soon......getting old sucks 2 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well even though it does not count according to Stella here is one more pic after the return is finished......tomorrow I will fill and leak test this thing for a week or so.......stay tuned 3 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ok, these count as updates there's a lot of them!! So is the overflow box cut into the back glass? Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ok, these count as updates there's a lot of them!! So is the overflow box cut into the back glass? No there are 2 holes drilled in the glass and the inside box is about an inch thick. It blends real well. I will get better pics tomorrow after its filled and running......unless I drink to many beers waiting for it to fill 2 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Also had this show up a few weeks ago....... 5 Quote Link to comment

Stella's better with her words than I am I really like the way you're doing this. I'm taking lots of notes for my Big Boy tank someday. PS: that light looks like a tanning machine on steroids. 2 Quote Link to comment

Hell I am only a welder not a carpenter but have been around construction all my life and shit has just rubbed off I guess........plus having tools helps also Wow... the stand looks so good!! Looks phenomenal! Gorgeous job on the build Spectra! That stand is just beautiful, I'll definitely be using a welded metal stand next time round. Damn this is looking good.
