Default FishTankProjects - 6' Shallow Reef Project

Just set it up so let you know soon! I did manage to spill a bunch of food by not having the lid on flush and most get sucked up by the pump and scattered thought the tanks so it should work. Worst case I'll use a little pipe to force it to drop directly into intake


Took a few updates pics

Beautiful, to think most of that was crammed in that 30L!

great build!

question about the light mount...
do you think there would be a way to make the height adjustable on the fly?
moving the arm up and down...
some sort of sliding mechanism, manual or remote?

I like the idea for lighting a peninsula tank, but would need it adjustable for access and maintenance.
