Ando Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's solid aluminum. What color do you guys think would look good? I could polish it out so it looks shiny like a mirror, or just leave it like how it is which looks like a flat shine to it, or just paint it black.?? Also to hang the light I got 1/8 inch steel cable. Should look very nice! Link to comment
BigART Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Natural would look nice and save you on paint. Maybe a dark blue would look nice as well. Everyone does black, but I honestly probably would if it was me. What color is the stand, maybe match that? Link to comment
Ando Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 The stand is black.. That what I was thinking to do just make it black. Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks. Sit back crack open an ice cold beer and enjoy! lol The problem with this hobby, for me anyway, is that building stuff and problem solving is almost more rewarding then the end product. This of course means my tank is never finished! Link to comment
Ando Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ya I feel like I'm always doing something to the tank. cost's too much money haha When I first got the tank I was like I will eventually upgrade my lighting and pumps way down the road...It ended up being about two months and I had new lights.. then a new pump...new tank stand... never ends lol Link to comment
Ando Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I finally found my yashi goby that I got last monday finally saw him today skimming around for the first time... I though he had died.. I did also add two new fish. yellow watchman goby and a fairy wrasse. Link to comment
BigART Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Looks great, it turned out real nice and professional! Link to comment
vincienzo45 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 looks good man! Just curious tho, I have a BC29 with the same Nova Extreme Pro light..what made you want to hang your light? I just have mine sitting on the tank's top right now. Was it to provide more light coverage? Link to comment
Ando Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 The plastic leg the hold up my light broke. So I decided to make something to hang it. I did have the light's just sit on my tank but it gets to hot. Thanks for looking. Link to comment
vincienzo45 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ahh..that sucks about the legs, but it still looks pretty good man From one 20" Nova Pro owner to another - u have any idea if they're coming out with any new bulbs for the 20" ? Link to comment
Ando Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I though a month or two ago I read something around here about them coming out with some new bulbs... But who knows? I sure hope so! Link to comment
