if you want metal call bowvalley aquariums 248 0884

That's gonna be a pain in the butt to light...kinda like my tank. LOL! I've finally found a decent light setup for my tank. Why did you choose these dimensions?

I didn't I'm getting it from someone else who did =p
what do you suggest for lighting ?

send me a pm i can build you a good stand

This is the stand I'm Hoping that Joel aka adidas will be able to build for me..

if the shipping and trim work doesn't drain the wallet.
this will be for my cube tank 30x30 x30

well, to be technical... adidas will design the plan for it, and my hubby will be the one actually building it. and my hubby does a really good job too :D

Haha! Well, unless someone changes my mind I'm going to go with a single 400w PFO HQI ballast running an XM 10K mogul bulb in a Lumenarc III pendant reflector, and 2-39w T5 HO's to run actinics. Since I am only running a single MH to span the 36" length, I choose the Lumenarc as it spreads the light better than other reflectors (although it's bulky), the XM bulb which is more intense than most others, and the HQI ballast will overdrive the bulb, and runs particularly well with this bulb. Should make for a very powerful lighting setup...I'm hoping! :D For your tank I would suggest two MH since your tank is 4 feet long. The Lumenarc's would help to spread the light across your 30" width. You probably only need to run 250w though since you would have 2.

Panda so your saying that your husband will have no problem making :biggrin: this stand then.

*wolf whistle* Nice stand and canopy!! I could build it...I'm a finish carpenter (among other wood building things haha). I'm saving that pic to the puter for future thought, and maybe use... :D

my hubby hasn't had a problem building stands. :wink: he did the one that adidas's tank is one and he's been working on one this last week too. he shouldn't have a problem with it unless you get toooooo detailed. :lol:

Hey everyone sorry for the late replies
wow that stand is beautiful ! I sent you a e-mail addidas but I should have checked here first =p

Also thanks for the adice on the lighting I will go for 2 of them
The lumenarcs is what I was planing on using so that will work well

Looking forward to this tank :biggrin:

Asherah: I think your box is full...pm is not going through.

its 48 36 30


I think these are perfect dimensions for a reef tank if 30 is hight. 400 MH x 2 for sure though.

pm's are emptied
Should work now :)

hey i emailed you back but it was sent back as undeliverable and your pm's aren't working, says u have pm's turned off

Asherah: Still cant pm...this is what i am getting:"asherah has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her."
