All glass setup is still cool. And for the price you can't argue that. Good luck with the build!

thanks man. o btw how do you like the led fixture that you have? they make one in 24in?

I think they do. Its works, and grows coral. But it has much to be desired. Its not controllable or dimmable, so I've ghetto rigged it to block some of the white LEDs and have it hanging really high above my tank so I don't fry corals anymore.

 

If I could do it over again, and not have my wife harp on me about the cost of the light I'd probably do a 27" Maxspect Razor and dim the power for a shallow tank. The 20" would probably be a good length for the 60F.

hummmmm ill take a look at the razor

 

I don't know...it's just that I could imagine a razor over this 60f looking super fly.

Like this b2 bomber gliding over your reef 24/7.

What's the ETA on the tank? When do you hope to have this thing wet?

 

Off topic but, you have made me throw incubus back into heavy rotation on my iTunes playlist!

this tank with the mame make me think japanese style lighting, aka a bar with multiple fixtures (par 38's if you're determined to use leds, or some canon type fixtures)

 

heres some inspiration in case you're curious

lends itself to shallow tanks aswell by just raising the fixture if you're not interested in lights with dimming controls

I see.

Doesn't Mr.Aqua have a 60f? I thought they did.....Hmmm

 

Btw, that mame overflow $$$$$ :)

Very nice.

 

They don't make anything with the same dimensions. Thee have a 12 gallon thats super long and shallow though.
