Jacobnano Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Needs more photos! Also, you almost have 100 posts lol Link to comment
KissMyDSM Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I will work on more photos once I get some more stuff glued down. Got a LED light for the sump today so I added some Chaeto. Added a black clown and it is trying to pair up with one of the skunks lol....silly clown fish. Link to comment

You need to find him a mate, one that is more similar Link to comment
KissMyDSM Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 The light for the sump is a nice white light rated at 125 lumens but since it is one die it is focused onto the chaeto instead of the whole sump to help with nuisance algae (Like you suggested). I will try to get it a mate when Petco gets some more in that look better. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sweet! I bet it looks pretty cool. Yup yup, gotta find that holy grail all black clown Link to comment
halcyonism Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I was eying one of those onyx clowns at Petco, so you're the one that bought it! Link to comment

Jacobnano Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah hopefully they get a couple more in Wed. Jacob now has onyx clowns Link to comment
Bishop Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm really digging the look of this tank. Has a lot of nice work put into it without being a super project. I really like the light fixture but I'm ignorant to light sockets. Exactly what type of studio sockets are you using? Where are some good places to get some? As for the tube, did you bend it yourself? Link to comment

As for the tube, did you bend it yourself? Sorry it took so long to reply Bishop. I found the light sockets here: http://www.cowboystudio.com/product/c09/p0901-02.php I did bend the pipe myself. I should have used one inch pipe because the Rapid bulbs are quite heavy. Just some updated pics. Left island Right island Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 That purple/orange hammer looks good in the photos. Yea, adjusting the white balance/exposure would help, these don't do the tank justice! Link to comment
creefer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sweet tank! I really like the scape. Link to comment
KissMyDSM Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sweet tank! I really like the scape. Thanks! Like Jacob says, I will try to do some white balance adjustments to see if I can get some better pics. Link to comment
creefer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm looking forward to it. I just ordered my upgrade tank a few days ago....rimless 40b with starfire front panel. Needless to say, I'm excited! Link to comment
KissMyDSM Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ahh yeah I will tell you right now that Jacobs Elos has the Starfire on the front pane too and it looks amazing. I was on a budget when I built this one so dollar per gallon sale for me . The 40B does have a great foot print though. Link to comment

It was a hell of a deal really. All I need to buy now is a return pump, sump, and stand. I have all else I need but will need to upgrade the lighting eventually. I have not yet decided what to do with that at the moment, but will be using my current Maxspect for the short term. Link to comment

My solana has been sold, so I need to get my crap together quick. He wants to pick it up in a few weeks and one week from today, our second child arrives via c-section, so I really need to get this done. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Great build!!!! Gotta love the 40B. Also luv the scape Link to comment
