Tank looks AMAZING under that Radion mang! Oh, wait ... um... In my defense, I thought that was just something you're supposed to say when someone posts anything about Radions.

Nice mounting work though! Funny how it makes ghetto look ... not really very ghetto at all.

thanks guys......like I said this one is just a temporary thing ....just so I could play with the light......probably wont do too much more to it.....but ya it doesnt look too bad, so thats what got my considering doing the same thing for the big tank..... would probably do a wider board and the holes staggered slightly front to back.....either 45 off the square corners of the board or round them off.....router a rounded profile on the edges, just cuz I can.....small 1/2 "x1/4" trim around the lights just to keep them in place.....Im thinking maple for the wood with just a marine grade varnish to keep it natural.......that would look cool with the black tek legs and black lights......


how did I know you would say something about the club.......can I just turn in half the badge???......it only on one of my tanks.....and the small one at that


and um.....havnt taken any pics of the coral under the LED yet.......thats all T5 you see there Tony



how bout some more T5 shots?

That one picture with the chromis in front of the PBT ... the chromis practically blends into the PBT. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on there

Love the shot from the end looking down the front - that tank is doing awesome. Zoa patches look pretty keen too.

that chromis does kinda blend in doesnt he?......all I could think of when I took that shot is "stupid chromis wrecked what would have been a pretty good pic of the PBT

Thanks again Tony.....

I had to do a double take too and I knew he posted a pic of a chromis in front of his powder blue! For a second I was thinking the chromis's eye was a HLLE spot
