Otty's 265 (w/3 sided View)

Don't want the yellow look so I will probably just buy 20k's and spend the money some where else that I was going to use on the actinics. Mommy's gonna chit when we get our first electric bill when this thing fires up....;D

 

That is looking so good. I can't get over how fast it's all coming together

Right on man

:thumbs_up You do great work Otty! Tank looks awesome!!

 

My wife keeps stating that she never see's me anymore.....

Thanx, been a busy month around here. All the kids want to do is play in the fish tank now, need to start adding water so I can keep them out of it. Thanks again for all your help.

 

You think so huh? Better hide the snorkelling/SCUBA gear

 

Another update

Well time to post some more progress. I got my OF made this week and ended up just putting eggcrate on the top so that I don't have to worry about cutting bigger gaps if the flow is not right. I put in 2-1 1/4" Durso standpipes in the OF as well as 2-1" feeds for my 2 Little Giants that will feed the closed loop OceanMotion valve. The 2 pipes running across the bottom will be covered with rock and sand with the ends coming up in a LR mound and spraying towards the glass to get the water to roll across the top and back to the OF box. When you look in the tank you will only see the two bulkhead fitting on the short wall so that the view is not obscured by any piping.

 

Bump

 

Plumbing is getting there Birchell, just about ready to add tap water and test out the pumps....as soon as they get here.....:-/

 

Ha, you know me. I have to know what is going on,

 

Naw buddy the 20,000 are not what you want I'll hook you up with these SPS 14,000 K's I have tried them out for about 3 weeks now and you can see more growth then with any bulb I ever used . Just not many places selling them yet Fairly new to the market. Still being tested and rated .. South Pacific Sun beautiful color and bright as all get out and with VHO actinic I have never seen corals extend like there have and growth you would not believe. When I get my good computer back I'll send you some pictures I don't know if the Boss aka lady with a camera has posted any new pics latley?
