Jason's 370G Tank

Oi I've been working on the stand all day. I bought birch cabinet grade plywood and had it cut to order. Well it was nice of them to cut it almost straight and almost to the size I asked for so I've been cutting. I just now got to the staining of the back sides and after dinner I'll be putting it all together
today so far was 8:30 to 5:30 and I'm breaking for Dinner

I know what you mean the little things can be the biggest pain in the butt, Sometimes what you plan is not exactly what you end up doing.: John

 

mounted my reflectors today. I used a 2 way heavy duty drawer slide that allows me to push the lights out of the way in either direction

The vented lumenarcs very nice I like the slides too.

 

Jason I like how you have done your lights- good job. I am going to be setting up a 300g cube sometime this summer and was planning on running 4X400W lights with the luminarc reflectors (same one you have that are vented) Are you going to put fans in each vent? That is what I was thinking of doing but have no clue how to do it or what fans to get. I was not going to go with any supplimental lighting at all and was thinking of maybe using 1 or 2 20K bulbs (really have not decided yet) to give me some blue colour. I don't know that I am going to have room to be able to have the lights move in more than one direction from over the tank to give me access but I really like your idea of being able to slide them in both directions. Hmmmmm

 

Those lights are the bomb! I like thway you have them on glides. Very Cool!8)

 

Thanks guys,

Ruth I think for venting I will attach vent hose to each reflector and then run it to a big fan that would be mounted in the wall. So I can vent right to the outside.
