Thank you. I was hoping someone would recognize it...didn't want to look like a fool haha. I can now polish, wax and clay bar my stand

I am studying geophysics, here at the UofC.

I'll have a few more pictures up on Thursday.

Cube tanks are awesome. This one is no exception.

Looking forward to this.

Wow that is one slick looking setup so far! Can't wait to see it progress

Update: Here are some more pictures, as promised. The water is a bit cloudy still. I just threw in a few pieces of LR to see how the tank looks with some rock in it lol.

This is how the magnets are embeded. I just user a router to make a hole and glued in the magnets.

Four magnets per panel, holds nicely.

DIY polished glass edges. Took forever to do this.

Lighting setup.

The height is adjustable, and it rotates out of the way.

ReefKeeper.

Sump, still need to clean up the wires. The water is not yellow, just the lighting in the room.

As you can see, the pink is all gone

After taking these pictures I realized that this camera sucks hahah.

Thanks for looking everyone.

Which reflectors are those? I think I like them better than the Lumenmax Elites... Looks like you went with 20K bulbs?

Tank looks great so far!

Thanks, that is a LumenBright pendant. I read the huge thread on RC and thought I'd give them a try. The bulb is Phoenix 14K, the camera made it look way too blue than it really is, it's just a point-and-shoot.
