Appreciate it man.sorry. hang in there
The aquascape looks great in your tank! Glad to see you got fish in there!So I deserve everyone a huge update post on the progress of the tank, so here it goes! Also, so that @bayarea_reef can stop nudging about making an update LOL.
So evidently after the loss, let me rephrase, total loss of all my coral and fish that was sitting in my holding tank while I set up the 200g, I took some time to decompress and think about the build again.
We finished the plumbing and cord management underneath the stand, inspiration from my friend @bayarea_reef:
Worked on the lighting bracket... was going to use the Ecotech RMS arms, but at 72" long it had too much sag:
Ended up scraping the entire Ecotech arm and with inspiration and guidance from @bayarea_reef and Deven from Reefdudes, I build an entire contract from extruded aluminum and attached it to the stand. It looks so much cleaner and honestly, more stable.
Finished look:
Now that we had all that figured out, it was time to add sand, rock, and fill this MFer.
As of today, 10/9/27, the tank is entering it 3rd week.. no coral, but we've added 2 clowns a few days ago!
I have a 3d printer - so just printed them out!Wheee did you get those orange brackets? I need some too
Appreciate it! Slow but steady..The aquascape looks great in your tank! Glad to see you got fish in there!
I used 1515 - which is actually larger than 2020. 1515 is 1.5" or approximately 38mm while 2020 is 20mm.Thank you for the new pictures.
Is the t-slot profile 2020? And how are you connecting the black tslot to the stand? Corner brackets and roll-in nuts?
I actually was going to use that, but went against it. Actually just using some corner extruded aluminum and drilled it into the board and attached it to the stand using T-nuts.nice what did you use to attach the control boards to the stand ..is that the 3d printed thing that slides over the cam locks and starboard. ive read something about that but wasnt sure. Its a beautiful setup , sorry for the setback man
