Du'oh! I feel cheated! JK. Build pics are half the reason I come on here

The finished project looks great though! Good job! I like the weather striping idea to prevent the light bleed. Nothing worse than sitting down and that one crack shining right in your peripheral vision.

Ya
One last touch up will be to add some deflectors on the end of the light fixture, the air intakes and the fan
Then the only light will be from the glass and we can re-hang our picture without a big stipe of light through it

Couple updates

The RBTA I got from Rich in Feb has become 3
I'm super happy they are staying where I placed the first one
They are a bit deflated as I still haven't ramped the lights up fully yet
I keep feeding them about once a month, and they get lots of fish food



And here's my home-made food in the trays
I used 1/2 bag of scallops, 1 bag of seafood medley, 4oz mysis, a bunch of pacifica plankton, some cyclopeeze, and a healthy dose of garlic and aminomega

I thought for sure I was gonna have problems finding somewhere to freeze all this food but, after I started spreading it out in the trays, it quickly became evident there's lots of room as I only got 315 cubes out of the mix
So with the current fish load, this recipe should last me about 9 1/2 months, unless I need to use more than 1 cube per day
I'll find out tonight when I feed with this stuff for the first time

Thanks Kien for your post about making the food, and thanks Mindy for the link to buy these silicone trays

Those trays are cool. Smaller than I was expecting. Do you still have the link for them?

Absolutely

There's 90 cubes per tray and I bought 2 pairs
Some reviews aren't too forgiving, but I had no issues removing a couple cubes tonight for a feeding

Casabella silicone mini ice cube trays

I put mine through the dishwasher when they arrived, and then rinsed them in RO. I'm a bit anal

Sweet, Thanks!
