Otty's 265 (w/3 sided View)

Wooooooohoooooooo!

Well the muscle showed up today and it is finally on the stand in the wall. Still have another coat of mud to put on the wall and paint but the heavy work is done. Here is my 2 and 4 year old acting like fish....;D

 

Looks great Otty!
Man I am jealous I can only fit one kid in mine! Keep up the good work.

Man you did some serious cleaning!!! It looks brand new in the pics. Im already wanting a bigger tank thanks to you!! I hope your happy .

 

That means there is room for an upgrade, got to get all the kids in there so none of them is jealous.;D

 

You would be surprised what straight bleach will do. I had to take a couple breaks yesterday because my eyes were burning and head was spinning...almost like sniffing Rush....
Now I am going to get at the plumbing and get the OF box set in, work is never done....

 

Dang Looking good there Otty .

 

Thanx for being my Mentor through all of this!:thumbs_up

 

Not a problem at all Buddy in-fact its been fun . Brackets are about completed. Just one more to do. I need some tomic connectors I ran out. With all the rewiring at the shop and all been a hectic last two weeks around theses parts.

 

What will be the best bulb to get 10,000K. 20,000K or something in between for the 400w MH's? I keep reading that with 14,000K to 20,000K I won't need actinics as bad as if I used 10,000K. Is that a bunch of horsesh*t!;D

 

I like the 14k bulbs. They have a nice crisp blue look to them. The 20k's are really blue, almost like the actinics are on all the time, and a 10k is a really bright white. You will probably want to suppliment the 10k with actinics to add some blue, or your tank will look to yellow.
