Custom Build in OptiWhite with PAR38s

Hi guys, been planning this tank for quite a while now and i'm almost there. Got RapidLed par38s on order so far now just found some 6500k bulbs in back of a cupboard in house so please ignore the yellow look. Tank will be a softies/lps setup and I have an Ocellaris and a Black & White Darwin Clown in QT waiting to be transferred in a few weeks.

Tank Dimensions - 24" x 16" x 12"
Tank Volume - 60 litres
Lighting - 2 x par38 RapidLed Bulbs (on order) & 1 x par20 Blue Moonlight
Heating & Cooling - TC10
Flow - MaxiJet900 & Hydor Koralia Nano 1600 & 900

Cabinet is from Ikea as are the lamps, picked everything up fairly cheap. Went with black silicone on tank as wanted to try and achieve an Elos look on a budget.



Picture of rear chambers.



Made a media basket out of egg crate, will be running floss, carbon and rowaphos for now.



This is how it looks now after scaping, and I need my Rapids so bad as you can see from the yellow pic lol.

 

Congrats on keeping it within a budget with a great look! It surely does look great.

Ill be tagging along, Im currently waiting for my Ecoxotic Par38's to Be shipped

 

Thanks for the comments, i'm pleased how it's turned out and the wife is pleased with how much i've spent lol.

 

Haha, Nice! All the LED's I just bought came up to the cost of the tank brand new LOL. (120g)

 

just some pics of a few frags I took delivery of today:

 

Wow, the tank looks awesome. I really like how it looks. Nice corals as well. I'll be following along.

 

Doing your entire tank with Exotic PAR38s, are ya?

 

Thanks for the comments. Should be getting some RapidLED par38s or Orpheks PR-25 par38s in the next week so stay tuned, will decide in the next 24 hours what I go for.

 

I'm waiting on 3 of the Orpheks. You should know that 1 would probably be plenty for your tank. What are the dimensions?

 

24" x 16" x 12" mate. What you think? Prob's would prefer 2, going to go for the PR-ML7aswell for the middle.
