Number one rule of reefing - “The only thing that comes quickly is failure"

。。。patience what the heck is that? anyways anyone going to be in the Comox Valley on Saturday the 31st at 5:00PM? and want to help with a tank moving project? I believe I have 4 spots open :D (cause you know there is high demand for people wanting to do work for pizza :lol:)

Tank goes on the stand tomorrow :D

Take lots of pics...I'm looking forward to seeing this bad boy up on the stand.

Where is it now? In the ocean? You've done things a little differently so far...thought I'd ask!

Submerged up to the rim to test for leaks... :mrgreen:

lol @ Reverse leak testing!

Looks like a cool build. I'm would keep a close eye on your LED setup though. Those high wattage LEDS may look nice on paper but they are much more inefficient then good quality 3W LEDs (i.e fewer lumens per watt and more heat per watt). Given the higher heat you will experience with them your cooling may not be up to the task. It's a neat idea but I think you would have to run very cold water through those pipes to make it work. The reason most people use heatsinks and fans is to maximize surface area for heat dissipation and having the fans running air over that large surface area to cool it.

Good luck and I'll be along for the ride now.

I love your cover!! - Any chance you have left over materials?

Not as much as I am... Then I can start to work on the plumbing :D

I took a picture of it in the alcove where I have been gluing things... it's too heavy to put in the ocean... I would have to brake it into pieces to get it up the beach.

LOL that's a good idea... oh well too late for that one... or no nm not a good idea... the water would be pushing in helping to seal any leaks that may be present... then when you go to fill it you may have a sieve... LOL
