alephnull Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Moved the rocks on the right a little and I think it looks much better. I like that a lot more. Nice job. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks. Hoping to get the lighting hardware all finished today and hopefully the light will be here Monday. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Lol, Coral Kitchen will be taking orders soon. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Tank looks amazing Loren!!! Thanks! Lol, Coral Kitchen will be taking orders soon. Sweet. I will definitely order! Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Looks much better with the bigger gap, this is looking pretty cool. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks Here's the hydor inline heater I received a few days ago. It is massive...almost the size of a DI cartridge. Link to comment
UncleJT Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's the hydor inline heater I received a few days ago. It is massive...almost the size of a DI cartridge. Yeah, that's the one con with them. I'm bound and determined to make one work on my build though, I really do not want a heater in my tank. Latest aquascape looks good man. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah, that's the one con with them. I'm bound and determined to make one work on my build though, I really do not want a heater in my tank. Latest aquascape looks good man. Yeah, it will be under the tank, so I don't really care how big it is. I was just surprised...it's looks much smaller in the pictures haha. Thanks. Link to comment

Thanks. I was surprised at that as well. I am more interested in which lily pipes you are getting. I was looking at them on the Green Leaf Aquarium site and I don't have a clue as to what would be the best size for the tank (I have the same tank you do). Link to comment
UncleJT Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am more interested in which lily pipes you are getting. I'm not sure which ones Loren is using but, FWIW, I will be trying out these on my 60-P build. GLA is currently out of stock on most of their pipes and I am too cheap for ADA ones. These were a recommended budget pipe from a few on one of the planted tank forums so I figured what the heck. Link to comment
supernip Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 you've managed to botched the clean lines of an ADA tank with the ugly green eheim tubing. Theres irony on so many levels. Link to comment
alephnull Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 you've managed to botched the clean lines of an ADA tank with the ugly green eheim tubing. Theres irony on so many levels. The heater and eheim intake/output are just temporary. The heater will be replaced with an inline heater, plumbed inline w/ the canister, and the intake/output of the canister will be replaced with lily pipes. If you want to be a critic, do a better job next time. Link to comment

I was looking at them on the Green Leaf Aquarium site and I don't have a clue as to what would be the best size for the tank (I have the same tank you do). I think I'm going to go w/ the 13mm Cal Aqua Fluxus (F2 & X2). It seems that the size I want are on back order from just about every manufacturer, even ADA, at the moment though. If you want to be a critic, do a better job next time. Nips failure there is the real irony. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Light came today. I didn't realize that this pendent had a strip of blue on each side of the pendent. Luckily it was just plastic and easily ripped right off. Not sure what the point of it was...it looked stupid. Pretty nice sized little ballast. Will fire it up here in a bit. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 That looks familiar Haha, yep. I really didn't intend to copy you, but I got it down to like 3 choices and the spacelight was the best bang for the buck imo haha. I'm thinking about painting mine black though. We'll see. Link to comment
Withers Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yeah it's a good light for that tank, that makes 3 of us running it now I think I'm actually thinking about tearing it apart and using the innards to create a MH/T5 combo light at some point. Link to comment
nanolax Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yeah it's a good light for that tank, that makes 3 of us running it now I think I'm actually thinking about tearing it apart and using the innards to create a MH/T5 combo light at some point. they should just sell the 60-p with the aquamedic pendant from now on to save us all some time Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 lol. I'm going to try to finish up the lighting tonight, although, we're having a thunderstorm at the moment with pretty high winds, so spray painting the light rod and hardware may be out of the question. Plumbing unfortunately is on hold since everywhere seems to be out of the lower profile 13mm lily pipes Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 test fit: now for some midnight spray painting action. Link to comment
GrandpaFeathers Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Wooo. Nice light. How'd you do the pipe bending? Link to comment
