DIY full spectrum bar! first impression on the full spectrum bar! Amazing! What i notice right away is the bar balance out my Blues and royal blues making everything looks more natural. Also the colours on my fishes pops a lot more! ill try to keep you guys updated on the progression of my corals in a few weeks.

J_T awesome custom sump frag rack:D if you need any acrylic work done i highly recommend J_T, he has done some amazing work for myself and mjc.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...psa6434763.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps3c40c21c.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...psef6fc242.jpg PEWPEW! |
That's an epic frag rack!
Very nice!!! |
Ya its pretty epic, he thought about maximizing the spot so he added in 3 levels of rack for low /high light corals. Also we took into account of the flow and JT design it so that the rack forces the flow to travel upwards inside the rack for constent flow.
PEWPEW! |
Nice work Jon (J_T)!
|
thmh outstanding build! - hope to see it in person someday?
|
Iam waiting for you to come visit liz! Your always welcome to mjc^_^ btw I just updated our sale thread with some new corals!
