gutterguy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 How are the arms for your lights made. Ive been planning on doing something similuar out of conduit Nice Tank by the way!! Link to comment
alex1237 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 The light arms are bent electrical conduit from the hardware store. A ten foot piece is about $3 and the bender is around $40. After bending them I just spray painted them black. It took a total of about half an hour to make eight of them. I came across this guide to make something similar. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2009-04/diy/index.php Link to comment

alex1237 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 So your eagle eyes have yellow skirts? Definitely need a frag if thats the case. Yeah the skirts are yellow with a little hint of green, the pictures are accurate. I've got a frag I had been going to let grow out a bit but I can probably be talked out of it. Send me a pm sometime and you can come check it out. Link to comment

I've been playing around with the modes and don't really know what mode I'll end up on. When I first turned it on I cranked it all the way up and blew a chalice right off the rocks. Link to comment
