Are you satisfied with the quality of the tank? Glass cages has had an uneven reputation.Tank set!
Love how you floated that canopy! Beautiful update.
Love the fish selection. I don't think it was mentioned. How was the tank buying experience with Glass Cages? Shipping, build quality, communications etc.
Ok, seriously, working on a shallow build myself, and I love the look of a floating canopy, but I also don't like the light spilling over. Been toying with different types of lighting and different ideas to minimize it. I'd appreciate your feedback.
I'd drive to Ohio just to drool on the glass.
I'm glad you like the floating canopy!
That said, the next FTS (in the next few days) will be a little disappointing to you... ha!
Looks great.. Awesome woodworking skills!
Awesome build! So you're running 4 hydra 26s and t5's? Any idea on the Par you are getting in the tank right now? I'm considering switching my 8 Bulb t5 fixture out for 3 Hydra 52's and supplement with 4 t5 bulbs (230g 72x30x25).
Just popped in to read through your thread and do what I do best. Harrangue people! (Yeah, I realize you do not know me but will let you know that it appears we have a similar sense of humor. Mine may be darker or you may simply hide yours better. )
Everything is quute aesthetically pleasing, well, except the guy in your user pic! Seriosuly, though, it all turned out very nice. It will be interesting to follow along and see how well the painted MDF holds up. Speaking of that, what primer/paint did you use?
I'm not surprised that you changed the "final" canopy design. How do you access the tank? (Maybe the dumb queation of the day.) Is the far side panel on a long piano hinge? Or will you just break out the sledgehammer every time you need access!
How about snapping some pics of the control(s) section? Also some of the sump. I'm curious to see what all is "under the hood" and how it is run. Plus, since you self-admittedly said you would have liked to have documented the build better, this will give you good reason to start doing that now.
That is all for now but I may have more requests in the near future!
Wishing you and your wife a New Year filled with good health and happiness!
uhhh... access the tank?
oops
Haha
I used Behr Ultra Stain-Blocking Paint & Primer in One.
My profile photo... The tank shares a characteristic with me - best viewed from a distance. Haha
Both sides of the canopy flip up via piano hinges.
And I’m blushing that you want to see under my hood... bahaha
It’s a hot mess under there - not sure I’m prepared to be judged so harshly!
