Well the lights are blinding to look at (I love them in my truck every one and their brother flashes you but hey lol....) I dont know how well the light will go through the water but i guess it will be trial and error. I have it wired up to a some what heavy duty computer power supply but im going to have to do the wireing again due to the light not fireing right away (dont think its good for the light to stay in warm up mood for a long period of time). Im just working out all these bugs now so I can have water in this tank and running come 12:01Am Oct 15th lol. I think i should be ok for a cycle since the rock is going to be going in a bucket when I do a water change on my display tank and then water and rock are going into the awaiting nano. Hope every one is haveing fun with there build !!!

Well seeing that I was off today I thought it would be a good time to get the baffles put in place and get the dolphin properly mounted, I also snapped some pics of my idea for the return pump. I dont know if im going to use a Mj600 or a 400, so I drilled out a hole in the return side and affixed the spray nozel in there so I can place either pump in and out of the tank as with cleaning it. I was a little to hard on it though breaking off the flap when I was trying to place it in the tank so im thinking about just glueing it in place before the water goes in... Well here are some boreing pics, please dont mind my silicone work im not very good at it.

Interesting lighting choice. I like the layout of the tank though very well thought out. And if the hid's don't work then you can always mount a 150w halide over that.!!

i dont doubt that its intense enough the only thing i wonder about the light is what spectrum it puts out. looks great tho.

Well I was up this AM putting water in and found a slight leak around one of the baffles to I decided to empty the tank borrow the wife’s blow dryer and then reinforce the baffles with some more silicone. Sooo now I’m behind by 24 hours waiting for it to fully setup. But I guess this does give me some time to think about this theme ... I do have some DYI live rock that I can put in, it has been curing in fresh water for the last 3 months. I think that I’m some how going to keep with the do it with the emphasis on DYI… Hmm……………..
