I am also looking into adding some T5's onto my lighting rig. Probably 8x36" to get full coverage in two bulbs. Level out the lighting and get rid of some of the darker spots. A little more pop with some of the T5 bulb combos. I have IceCap 660 ballasts, standoffs and individual reflectors that I am going to repurpose and add on to my aluminum frame.

Ok update time. I'm still having a time balancing out the vibrance of the LED's and the blue/purple. Any suggestions are welcome!

RR UOP. Trust me, I'm not trying to make the raised coralites glow like that. They are a very nice blue but the LED's are raising hell with my camera sensor.

IA Cobalt


IA stag


RR Blue Matrix still taking it's sweet time to colour up.

DV Mystic


A nice setosa

Scott, you can't source any plastic containers that will work for you? With such a wide selection available it's always seemed weird to me to use glass tanks for water storage, especially custom made ones.

Thanks! It's definitely starting to do something. The base is really beginning to encrust and there is vertical growth.

Those tanks you posted Steve would cost me probably $200+ a piece here in S'toon. CA had a post on their blog about price of plastic vs glass and I wanted to give them a shot at pricing it for me.

Hey Scott I'm a local guy building tanks shoot me the dimensions you want and I'll quote them no problem and if you let me deliver to your house I'd love to see that master piece of yours
