schgr.cube Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nice fan I think you should build a top to that unit, keeping the same look. Just my opinion, everything looks amazing! Link to comment
sammy113 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks Sam, the fan is a little bigger than yours (140mm) but is almost double the height. Don't know where my head was when I saw 25mm thick... Right now thats a preliminary housing cause I needed to have something to hang since I had a week lamp while waiting for the stuff. I will do a new acrylic box, maybe white acrylic. Will probably get a new fan and that one will have a top. I actually like open top cause the air flows better out of the fins but i'd also like to hide everything Link to comment

That sucks I'll have to find the receipt for my fan and find out where exactly I got it... I really like the current box, and I think if you did a top similar to what you did with mine but kept the same acrylic it would look great. PS: I just sold my WOW account for $1000, but I was going to buy Alison and I tattoos for Christmas with it. Any money leftover however goes toward my tank... Link to comment
disaster999 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 wow...the new light looks a lot better. any shots of the new sump? Link to comment

sammy113 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 New sump in place. Still waiting for the Atman Pump for the cone skimmer Fuge with 3LED light. I know chaeto wont appreciate the blue though, but I just had it and why not put it also. Hopefully will help to kick a little the Cool Whites. Hope it grows under that. If it grows with the little halogen submersible light, should like this LEDs also Link to comment

sammy113 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks. Corals are doing fine. They seemed to react very well to the new light. I have a few new corals, some of them from Eric (Calvin) and some locally. Also got the skimmer pump and is up running. Link to comment
