very well done id love to be able to afford radions... and i hope my fixture will be enough light

Glad the move went as planned so far! That light holder is pretty spiffy how's the sag? I was thinking if it did have a little you could apply an angled metal edge on front and back to give it some stiffness. Just use some L shaped pieces with the one side of the L under the holder...

Agreed. I thought of building something very similar, but alas, I am NOT a finishing carpenter.

Nice job on the Radions Doug! They look great mounted like that!

So glad the move went well Doug. Now you can relax a little.

Doug take what you've done with the light rack and slap it onto the side of your stand. But rather that insert radions into the side of your tank you could toss these things called doors over the holes :biggrin:

Very cool light rack! Looks nice and clean

Yet again doug you rock already on this tank man well done. The tank looks awesome dude.

I cant really afford Radions either.....thats why it took so long for me to get things together for this tank....and I even have friends in high places and got a discount:neutral:.....Im happy with my choice so far.....I think the four of them will be enough:biggrin:

thanks Brett......didnt yo Mama ever tell you, it's not polite to ask a guy about his "sag":mrgreen:.....It does sag slightly, like maybe a 1/4"....not enough that Im gonna worry about it.....I made this one out pine, so Im sure that it will warp and twist....I used pine cuz its cheap....I didnt want to spend a lot of mulah on something when I wasnt sure if four Radions was gonna be enough for the tank....if I decide to stick with four I may either make another one out of maple or get Grizz to fabricate one out of metal....

Thanks Sheena.....its not hard to do really.....a lot of the time when I dont find some fish or coral I wanna take home, I riffle through the LR bins and take home a piece or two......a good portion of the rock that is in there now came from a Walt Smith shipment.....the rock was amazing!.....some massive pieces and extremely light.....

It's so nice to be loved, I can't even imagine what you would do for the P. Monster - Granny's a bit small, but we both will be thinking of you as we grow.

:kiss:

yes, your right mang.....this thing is full of coral.....almost too full.....I need a bigger tank!:mrgreen:......all my fish and probably 90% of my coral are now in the tank....I just have a few corals in Girlys cube that I need to move over and place....I dont work Mondays, so that will be tomorrows project.....Ive been kinda lazy and it needs to get done.....I will snap some pics after everything is moved in......added a couple fish to the mix.....my tangs came down with a moderate case of ick, so I added a neon goby (along with garlic and selcon) to try and help them out......my lazy arse cleaner shrimp wasnt doing a thing for them.....also, before the ick outbreak I added a small orange shoulder tang (who went through a rough initiation and spent the first few days hiding in the rocks) and a small radiant wrasse ( who also got the snot beat out of him..... by my leopard wrasse of all fish:surprise:....so much so that I was able to catch him out and move him to Lauries cube so he can recover)other than the ick and compatibility fishues the move up here went really well

thats awesome buddy seeing that thing in person is intimidating im sure its going to look sweet looking orward to the pics.....your lucky i was just about to post more darth vader pug...:mrgreen:
