![]() holy ****, tank will be 2 years old next month. I completely forgot about this build thread and just been lurking on the forums.
changed things up with the lights.. + added a radion that decided to shit the bed on me a few days after install.. and finally finished the stand minus a few small details first, i picked up two counter tops from IKEA. notched the dimensions of my DT out of the first and slid it onto shelving brackets that i tech screwed to my steel stand. ![]() second, cut the top shelf to fit lengthwise and installed lights above with a switch and then removed to measured out the factory Radion mounting holes on each light and laid them out onto the second counter-top to be drilled out so i could get rid of the cable mounting i had before. Then used machine screws and washers through the counter-top to support the lights from the top. ![]() ![]() 3rd, coated bottom of counter tops with black plastidip to hopefully protect the cheap particle board from evap or splashing and threw another piece of cantruss to support the top. ![]() ![]() |
