Thank you also! Happy to have you tag alongImpressive! Your stand is a work of art! Can't wait to see more! Subscribed!
I missed this, but thank you ! I'm enjoying your build as wellBeautiful job!
Trust me, if it weren't for the two year old, it would be.As nice as your glass work and frame look, I might think about leaving it exposed instead of skinning it. Although, then you would have to go wire ocd
Went in sump Aquamax Q2OH and as for skimmer, in sump, hob or recirc.?
I partly made the choice because of the price tag, but I know that I would not be happy with the AC motor considering it was the loudest thing on my old system.Funny because that was going to be my recommendation on skimmer because of the footprint but you had already ordered the Aquamaxx
I have been looking at the 110 SSS for myself because of the footprint and my small sump. Seeing your sump made me thing the 150 SSS would fit nicely in itI partly made the choice because of the price tag, but I know that I would not be happy with the AC motor considering it was the loudest thing on my old system.
Hey now! Are you calling my sump small?I have been looking at the 110 SSS for myself because of the footprint and my small sump. Seeing your sump made me thing the 150 SSS would fit nicely in it
Thats interesting. I thought the 52s would be purple as well. I had the AI SOL BLUES and Then upgraded one to the hydra. I liked them except I could take video without have to turn everything up. Im glad the HD is working out! Pics!Overflow and lights update:
First, the first internal overflow box was causing a lot of noise. So much noise I was considering this build to be a failure. I had to figure out why. So I created a new one first and pulled the old one. After installing the new one I confirmed my thoughts as to what was causing the noise. It was a lip I created on the inside so the lid could sit securely. It was that lip which was causing the noise. Now that it's gone, so is the noise and the overflow is now silent. I also too this opportunity to adjust my water level to be within a 1/4" from the euro bracing. Nice!
Now for the lights. My first aquarium had AI SOLs blue. I loved the blue light it gave off. I later switched to the Hydra 52's and always hated the purple light they generated, but figured I could live with it. Fast forward to last week when I decided I needed 3 lights instead of two. I could not find another 52 that had a year or less usage for a good price. So I sold my two 52's and purchased 3 52 HD's. Wow I can not believe I lived with that color of purple for so long. The newer lights are blue! The color is much of what you see produced in t5's or what you see while deep diving.
I'm now very happy with two more aspects of this build!
