"Seriak is back" Build

[Reefie]

Looks great so far! Looking forward to updates and LOTS of pics!

Not to hi-jack your build, but where did you buy this castle? Is that a bed inside it as well? My daughter's would love this setup!

I am not too concerned about the size of the local wildlife as I have already rehomed them into a much larger enclosure.

Nice looking tank. That radion puts out a lot of light for such a small unit

The Radions are amazing. I think that light was only at 30 or 40% at the time. You do need two for my setup to get full coverage though for optimal coral growth. I actually managed to bung up the lenses on the lights (Not following directions) and Ecotech is sending me brand new ones for free even though I explained to them that I made the mistake and it was my fault. Their service is amazing.

Do you know if they have a rule for the number of units per foot of tank (ie. like MH reflectors cover 2 feet etc)?

From what I have read, each unit will cover 24" X 24" area.

Hmm the castle bed was built by my brother for his daughter and we got it as a hand me down. He did quite a job on it. There are secret compartments hidden away in it. My daughter was so excited when she got it. That is actually an old picture. There is a ladder that goes to the top where she sleeps now. She actually has a mattress on the top and bottom just in case she wants a friend to sleep over.
