14" cube build

The plumbing is done, but the drain is a bit louder than I would like.

 

...and the light has arrived!!!

 

The light is a 38PAR 21 watt LED by Evil66. I got it in the 12000K with 60 degree optics. Here is a quick side-by-side between a 60 watt incandescent and the 21 watt LED.

 

that light is pretty sweet! where did you get it?

After searching the nearest three towns for the perfect light fixture I finally gave up and just made my own for around eight dollars.

 

This is looking great.

Keep the pics coming.

Nice photos. How big is your cube build? Do you have a build page?

 

Thanks.

I don't have a page as of yet, but I've been taking pictures of everything as I move along.

My tank is a 25G. At this point in time, it's a FOWLR, plus tons of algae. Lol.

I have 2 clowns, 1 pajama cardinal, a yellow tail damsel, and some other random fish, plus a clean up crew.

School is almost over, I have 3 weeks till finals, then I"ll be done for the summer. At that point, I'm going to be building a stand, and allowing space for, but not necessarily adding a sump yet. We'll see how things move along.

I just ordered an aquaC remora hang-on skimmer. I've read tons of excellent reviews about it, so hopefully that'll aid in my battle against this algae.

Expect a build thread in the next few weeks. I'll PM you when it's up.. but I doubt it's going to be as cool as yours.

 

I can totally sympathize with the school thing. My build started during spring break and was clipping along nicely until class started up again.
