I'll show off some pics once the heat syncs come back from Anderson Anodizing. Apparently they are only going to charge me $60 to turn those things black! I can't wait to get the LED's started.

On another note, the Skimz seems to be pulling out some stuff already. I need to tune it a bit as it's over flowed a couple of times... I'm assuming it has something to do with how new I am.

Well that was speedy well done! There's no elegant way to mount those dj strips eh?

The heatsinks will be black? Are they going to be visible?

The build should slow down from here. Then speed up drastically once the rock is cured.

Those DJ's are amazing (I'll be painting those brackets ASAP), this one in particular can trample over any elegance the tank has left. It's worth it. Having it in the back cleans it up a bit, I wish I had the camera skill that you have! Please let me know your secrets

I'm not planning on hiding the lights at all at this point and aluminum likes to oxidize in humid situations, so it's a dual win. I'll either try and make them clean looking sitting over the tank, or I may try and integrate them into the drop ceiling somehow.

Where did you get the DJ strip from Wayne? I really like the look of them & would make thing a little easier to shut off things.

You would need to ask Brett, it came with the tank.

I picked both up at Long and McQuade. I have one on my current system to they are awesome. I'll need a couple more for the basement build.
