Swapped out the ATI for a new Giesemann Matrixx ii 8x54w. This fixture is very impressive!! Tank should be here in a couple weeks.

I was thinking of heaters and going with 2 x200w or 250w Eheim heaters.. any opinion on brands?

I've always gone with 2 lower watt heaters instead of 1 big one. Just in case one shorts out I don't have to worry about it heating the tank to a soup ;)

Top notch looking! I'd do a zeovit system if it wasn't so much work, I'll live vicariously through you ;)

Just got done cycling

That looks great!

Who the OP or the guy above? The guy above needs to orient his lights different but 2 Radions should handle his tank.

I agree!

I can't wait to get my tank. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!

Got about 85# of tonga branch rock from BRS. Gave it a scrub down. Really impressed with the rock they sent, excited to get it in the tank. 20150804_193141.jpg

Did you tell them you was looking for something specific when you ordered those pieces? Those look sweet!

I just put in the comment I was looking for certain sizes with shorter wider bases. I was pretty happy with what they sent. I think they sent closer to 90lbs.

Nice build. Following

Thanks!
