    Well, I guess it's time for me to start my build thread. I will be starting out with a FOWLR tank, and then once that has been established for a while, I will transition to a Reef tank.


    Here are a couple pictures of my frame stand that I have started, sorry if they are blurry, but its from my phone

    And I ordered my Sunpower 6x54w unit!

    Can't wait for more stuff!

    Thanks everyone :)

    Yesterday, I received my 2 Koralia 1400's. I filled up my empty 30g and am currently testing them.

    Tomorrow, I will receive the Sunpower lights, Will post pictures when I receive them.

    Should also have the tank this friday, and then I'm off for four days, so hopefully, I will be able to make some progress on the stand, and maybe start the canopy. So much to do :D

    Received the Light fixture today, as well as the bulbs. Here are a couple pictures

    My friend gave me his Phosban Reactor 150, so I ordered replacement filter discs and some phosban stuff. Also ordered a low GPH pump for the reactor.

    Enjoy :)

    I've got a feeling this is going to be a good build. :)

    Thanks guys :)

    Quick question. When making my canopy, how high from the top of the water should the lights sit? Any suggestions?
