Pickupman66's 180 gal Glass box - Update for July 2013

Changed the Moon lights a bit. this system has a large head unit with like 6 or 8 LED's plus 8 single LED's that are spread thru the tank. the head unit is a bit too bright for me so I just stuck it in the corner. I got an idea last night while laying on the floor watching the fish..

The photo does not do it justice. that blue lettering GLOWS and it looks AWESOME. provides a nice light in the room too.

 

thats a pretty cool effect there

I have another question, what is a good quality industrial strength aquarium sealant?

 

That's cool. Good idea.

 

Dingo. I bought the large tubes from Glass Cages. like $8 each or something like that. They were DOW 732 multipurpose sealant. it is 100% silicone. that is the black stuff.

 

Some updated photos....

all fish are FAT AND HAPPY. the tangs will eat from my hand or that of my 5yo. the rocks are really coming in nicely and we re getting some good coraline growth in some spots. coraline also seems to be showing up on the overflows and the returns....

Bueatiful Tangs!

 

Nice looking fish you got there

 

Thanks Man! we are truly enjoying them. that said, they are so voracious when it comes to the Nori sheet, the clip just wont hold it. I either have to let them play tug of war across the entire tank or hold it in my hand.

 

Fun stuff you could do small pieces and tie them to LR
