Kien, how do you like your powermodule? :lol:

Do you like it better than your MH's?

Thanks in advance!

I like the powermodule. It is a slick fixture and puts out a lot of light. To be honest though I am a halide fan as I do tend to miss the shimmer from it.. But then all I have to do is turn my head to the 150 reef. It is neat seeing them literally side by side because they both produce a completely different look. The halides are a sharp penetrating light while the T5s are more of a soft enveloping light. Well, that's how I see it anyway :) In the end it just boils down to which one you prefer.

More pics? Okay, here they come!

So this is what the finished 131g FOWLR add-on tank looks like.

Just like with the 150g stand, this one is simply skinned with cabinet door panels from Ikea and held in place with magnets.

Here I'm using an espresso finish to match the decor of the dining room.

Here is the final aquascaping.

And lastly, here's what the twin-tanks look like in the space.

There are still a few minor things left to finish up like the plumbing for the water change tank and some detailing to hide the plumbing that connects the two tanks. What I'm also noticing is that the Maristar light fixture that's on the 150g tank now looks a little out of place (colour wise). I've decided to take it out back and spray paint it silver to match the silver ATI fixture :-)

Umm.. Ya.. Please don't confuse a typical FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) with my use of the acronym where mine is actually Full Of Wonderful Live Rock'n'stuff. :lol:

Leah 05-03-2010 02:56 AM

So you mean it is a FOWLRS tank, I get it. :biggrin: Is that how you got it in the front door. :wink:
