tyty22 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Nice canopy can't wait to see it over the tank! I was at my LFS a few days ago and upstairs i came across this exact tank with a sweet black stand It was awesome. They want 250 for the tank. I thought that was a bit pricy but the dimensions are great. I got my mr. Aqua tank, it came in a giant box in the mail yesterday. Link to comment

That is a little pricy but if I had to do it again I would spend $250 lol. I can't wait to see the lights over the tank either. Good luck on your new tank build I'll check it out. Link to comment
Sub Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Let us know if you wished the tank was a little taller. I love that long sleek look but I wonder if it blocks too much viewing angle. Link to comment

I love that long sleek look but I wonder if it blocks too much viewing angle. I made my stand pretty tall so the tank sits about eye level so there are no problems with the viewing angle. I bought this tank because of the dimensions, no regrets Link to comment
snookman03 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Got some work done on the lights... And finally some light!!! I went to my lfs to get the t5 bulbs so I ended up going with a uvl super actinic and an indigo sun. I hope this Combo looks good. I still need to waterproof all of the wiring and hang the canopy.

snookman03 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 nicely done!!! Thanks Bear. I still need to finish up organizing the wires but I think it came out as I hoped.

got2envy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Following! love the tank dimensions Link to comment
mattclark82 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Man, awesome tank, dimensions are pure B.A. There was a reef shop up here that went out of business, they had these two really long, narrow, and shallow tanks, at least 8' long, qnd ever since then I have wanted one. The price of yours is not bad, might have to inquire at my LFS. Link to comment
