No No that was just like 1 2x4 in each corner.I added more afterwards.The problem was I was building the stand.My old neighbor was moving so I asked the guys to move my tank from the garage to the tank room.I rushed and placed the top (3/4 plywood) on the stand.The guys came and moved my tank for $100 and some beer so I then had to work inside the stand.I didn't take any more pics because I need a flash and it looks kind of dumb.I can take some pics of the stand if you like to see it.Yeah the way it looks in the pics its like I just placed a 2 x4 in each corner and I have one running along the top.I doubt that would hold 5000 pounds.Like I said if you want I can take pics.The tank hasn't budged.

I will try to do a par video tonight over my tank.I have been a little busy with the family so its hard to get some free time.I will also need my wifes help to video tape while I move the par meter around.We have a small baby so its kind of rough.We have to keep a constant eye on her.:mrgreen:

Bumbo next to tank. Done!

I didn't understand that one.Is it a Calgary expression :lol:

The problem is who is going to watch who?I don't see my daughter doing water changes.

Hey Steve......whats your feeling on the reeftech lights?.. how many do you have/ plan on running on the tank?...I had a chance to play with one over my 25g tank(I took a thunderstorm demo vid too:wink:)......I had had to turn the light down to 25%:lol:...... I think they are pretty kick-arse..... price, features and par

I took this par video the light is on my 3/4 acrylic top so I should get a bit more par out of the unit http://www.youtube.com/user/MrStevet.../0/zzq6E-lQGAw

Thanks fishy I currently have 4 units.I will place all 4 of them over my tank.I have 4 openings on my tank so each fixture will be over one.I might add a fifth in the middle of the tank but I don't think I will need it.The lights are very well built.I like the features that the lights have and the par readings is pretty dam good.I got 200 par at the bottom of my tank.The light spread is pretty wide.I know someone else who bought 4 units for his 500 gal tank and he is very happy with them.He has 2 x 180 units and 2 x 90 watt units.I plan to have my welder make me an L bracket so I can mount them over my tank.Once I can get him to build me the bracket I will place the lights on my tank.They cost $1400 US each and I drove to vermont to pick them up.They will be on sale here in Canada and I think the price will be around $1500 CDN.I know he has smaller wattage units if you want something for a smaller tank.

I have picked up some more fish along with another power head.I now have 6 tunze 6105.
The fish I bought
4 x fire fish
1 x carpenter wrasse
1 x radiant wrasse
1 x cleaner wrasse
I will buy some plumbing supplies next week to start on my return lines and the drains,after that I can water proof the sump room.

You ever gonna get some pics up? I say pics, or it didn't happen! :p

I will take a video of the tank.My 8 line wrasse is pestering the radiant wrasse and the carpenter wrasse.He is a little SOB.He isn't a big fish but he hates other wrasses.The new fish are in hiding.They where out yesterday but today they were no where to be seen.It is a big tank so its not as if they have no place to hide.

Tank video.I did see my radiant and carpenter wrasse but in the video they where hiding.http://www.youtube.com/user/MrStevet.../0/QjEoUfrMDoM

Wow that clown tang is FAST. Nice vid... camera sensor doesn't quite know what to make of the LEDs it seems...

I am not good at manual settings.Videos come out funny under led lights.I wish I knew more about video and photography so I good do a good job.

The tangs are very fast fish.The clown tang can zoom around the tank like a bullet.

It has been some time since my last post.I am trying to get my act together to finish my sump room.I will finally buy my plumbing parts and get my butt into gear.I have left my tank in limbo and it pretty much looks like crap.I have not taken care of it other than a water change and feeding the fish.Pretty sad.I just need to get a sump.I am looking for a potable water bin to use as a sump.Where can i find one that at least 100 gallons.I prefer these bins over glass tanks.I have a 125 gal glass sump from my old tank but its to big to fit in my sump room.

I have not looked on this website but I assume there is a forum for used goods.I have some stuff I should sell since its been collecting dust.I have a 300 gal acrylic tank that is drilled for ocean motions 8 way sitting in my garage for over a year now.It needs a cleaning but there is nothing wrong with it.I just never bothered to sell it,along with other stuff.
