my wife wants black sand for the tank....

so i rinsed the first panel under water but the foam is sandy/grey color cause the epoxy is holding onto a dusting..
will do rest of the panels with a light dusting, then get black sand..

most of my fish will be white lol.. so they will stick out!

[Hookup]

very slick looking tank... LED the crap out of it and grow sick LPS... (please do this so I can live vicariously thru you... please)

[Marx]

thats my plan!!!

i have leds ordered =)

[Marx]

pics of foam wall with epoxy and sand. i brushed some sand off the last one to make it look like dark rock with coral rock sticking out!

[Marx]

Did Second coat of epoxy and sand!! looks amazing!! hard as a rock now!! 

Also picked up a Reefkeeper Lite from a fellow reefer last night! so wiring it into stand today! going to order expansion slot so everything will be controlled from one source.

also purchased 40# of live rock i get it this weekend!

so with wall and live rock im close to 50# in tank.

so will pick up substrate this weekend and should be up and running next week.

need to solder my leds. kinda nervous but i think it will be okay!

[Marx]

[DaWolfe]

[Cheebs]

This is going to look very cool, great job so far!

[Marx]

Okay here are pics with blue LEDS on, 18 of them lol!!

Whites will be installed tonight!

[Marx]

with white leds and blues running! corals love it! 

last one shows white LEDs at 100%

[veron]

Looks very cool!  Be carefull regarding the LED's  seems they can be very bright to the corals but dim to our eyes. Alot of LED users seem to slowly ramp up the lights due to coral burn/bleach.

[Cheebs]

It looks very natural in there, good job!

[Hookup]

bet this looks even better in person... what a great tank... very creative.

[Marx]

Thanks guys!

i noticed my brain even on bottom doesn't like leds on much, it prefers just the blues on. grows huge then whites come on for a few hours he shrinks up.

i also noticed one more thing, my brain, Acans, have their tenticles out all the time? i feed them and they still keep them out.

to much nutrient in water? my Blasto's love being near bottom. they open full! Shrooms and zoa's on bottom too they love it! all corals open full with just 18 blues on. then when the 8 whites kick on it seems like over kill lol..
