Thanks!

The plan was to source the best light fixture for SPS coloration and this is what we ended up with.

Ok now thats just downright a beautiful design and set up. Love the stand & the overflow package. Makes me want a similar one. Where could one have a stand built such as that?

you could spray that aluminum gloss black or white and forget skinning it lol!

they still sell the spectra new? have prices come down on them? curious what that fixture costs retail? spectra was always what i really wanted for previous builds but at the time couldn't afford the steep price.

progress looks killer =)

oh the overflow design... is there no emergency drain? seems risky unless i'm not understanding it's function.

There may be somebody in your area that offers the service.

The two major brands of this material is 8020.net or Bosch Rexroth.

We got some more progress done on our build!

We decided a top was needed to prevent fish from jumping out of the tank. There are plans to add designer wrasses and we all know how much they love to jump.

The frame is made of aluminum so rust wont be an issue.

Tagging along on this one.

super clean , I'm thinking I will be building my new stand with the aluminum bars nice and easy to build and looks very attractive .

[Proteus]

Looks great.. Tagging along

Is the HDPE plate the same for the sump bottom? Great idea for the tank so no ugly foam needed.

Yep. HDPE under the tank and stand.

You can only use HDPE if you are 100% confident that your stand is perfectly flat and level.
