tizzite Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nice and clean! Looks great. What is that to the right of your tank? Looks like a small aquarium on top of a steel box. Have you considered bending EMT pipe for suspending the light? I've copied vicskimmer, and hid the wires in the pipe. It's pretty cool. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I dunno I think the PVC and tank look awesome Link to comment

The display case sitting on top just has a trilobite fossil inside (geo geek here). I have considered doing electrical conduit, but I need to figure out a way to make it free standing. Maybe one of these days I'll try to figure it out. I may be moving in a few months so the pvc somewhat temporary anyways. Link to comment

Couldn't stay away lol. I can't connect to irc from my house for some reason log on in the middle of the day! Link to comment
Pili Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Quick question for the LED pro's...how is the spread on these things? I'm thinking about grabbing 2 of the 50/50 strips to help offset the bland Ushio 14k. I think i could replace the 18w PC actinics, or just add them next to the PC's. I'm really trying to avoid the spotlight effect though. Link to comment

Pili Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 you get them yet? might get some if they worked out well for you. I think I'm going to skip for now. Saw them at a LFS and they didn't seem to put out that much light. In other news, quick photo of my new bud. Link to comment
Pili Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 change of plans...I think I'm going to bite the bullet on a 10k Kessil pendent. Might as well try out the whole LED thing I suppose. Link to comment
