Nice looking tank! Could you show a close up of that trim you used please? I have a very similar tank waiting to be set up that is trimless and I have been brainstorming ideas for a lid. I was thinking of siliconing a tiny triangle of glass into each corner. That trim you found looks real clean though.

Basically it's standard fish tank trim as seen in 1.

2. Sliced where it would normally lay on the top rim

3. The inside lip with the nice factory edge then lays on the top rim
And the cruddy cut edge goes inside as a lip.




I did 3 sides this way and left the front alone.



One thing I should mention I don't regret going with the radion pros over the radion g2s as the colours just explode in the morning .

Thanks again for the love folks

I think I'm gonna eventually run pellets on this tank because I'm pretty stoked about this thing .

I drew this when pellets first were released.





Product being released

On a scale of 1-10, my jealousy of your tank stand is at a 12! Very nice work!

Looks great! Great idea about the trim too. (*starting to scheme* ... I have a FOWLR tank that I needed to basically completely box in the canopy because it houses a Hawaiian flame wrasse pair and a golden dwarf moray and I'm utterly terrified they'll get out of the tank otherwise ... I'd much prefer an open top though, so this def has me thinking!!)

Great bromeliad too. Careful, they can be pretty addicting in their own right. I count reefs, orchids and broms as 3 of my current vices.

And .. sorry something I've always wondered. How is one supposed to say your Canreef name? Is the 4 like an "A" in l33t speak? Ie., "Kryptic Al" or is the 4 a 4? Kryptic Four-ll? Kryptic Forl? Kryptic For Ell? ???? Sorry for being totally clueless.

Lol, crack me up. It's 4-L which stands for 4 life. It's a suffix I picked up 10 years ago when I was gaming lots from a small group of us who travelled from team to team usually as a package deal.

It stuck with me, simply for the fact I've never ran into the issue, this username is already taken please choose another.

Grrrr today, set up a nice qt for a mystery wrasse last night, I never used to set up quarantines just thought I would play it safe in a new tank. And my next to new Eheim heater over heated the tank to a nice 84 degrees.


That's 2 mysteries in two months. These new ebos suck. One is heating low on one tank and the other is heating way high
