My 90 Gallon Reef Tank!!!!

Heres a pic with all the doors open

 

nice looking tank tatted. I really like the cabinets. whats the plan for the canopy?

 

Fantastic organization, well thought out and executed.

 

This is what I have as a rough draft with the guy who has made the stand and cabinets



Gonna go with t5'sor vho's and these reflectors 8)

Lumen Max 3 HQI Metal Halide Pendant by Sunlight Supply - AquaCave

 

Cool! So I'm guessing you're gonna rip the bulbs and ballasts from the ol' Coralife fixture then? (and that tricked out ice cap fan of yours?)

 

Pretty much

Just need to get another ice cap fan.... or Im thinking bout going with some quieter 4" fans. Ice caps can get noisy. not sure if its because its inside the fixture causing the additional noise. but they are noisy.

I really like those reflectors sparky.... the femal connections on em are the right female plugs since they are made by sunlight supply just like our ballasts. So thats one less step in putting the reflectors in a canopy.

 

looking good tatted4ever

is this officially part 2 now- or are there more surprises in future?

Yeah I figured that would be a prerequisite for ya. It wouldn't make much sense if that weren't the case.

I've got a buddy with a single 400W halide in one of those reflectors over an acrylic cube 180 gallon tank. (4'x4'x18").

They're good reflectors, it seems. It's a sweet setup!

 

Ha Ha Ha...

Part 2 will have some more surprises.... this thread is almost at its end...

Gonna start part 2 with a killer video of all the things I have done to my tank.

Lots of before and after pics.

My part 2 thread will completely document coral growth.

Nice macro shots....

Everything 3reef could ask for in a "show off your fish tank" thread

pretty much a rebirth of this thread.

 

Well snipping off a defferent female connection and putting on the right one is no biggie. But I like simplicity. These reflectors look very impressive.
