Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

Yes. With 60 degree lenses and 12" above the water should cover a 24" x24" section safely.

 

thanks a ton, the tank is only 12 inches wide would you maybe recommend narrower optics or lowering the lights down a little?

 

If thats the case then instead of 6 15" long heat sinks then put three or four 15" on each side. less money spent.

 

thank you very much you have been very helpful

 

You are welcome.

It its what it is and how it should be.

 

wow, you didn't do any of the extra bracing or anything???
I'm worried, but I'm sure your builder knows what he's doing. He did understand that there's going to be at least 700-800 lbs on there right?

 

Just wanted you to know that I took your advice on the interior sanding and I will be starting the outside after Thanksgiving.

 

Skimmers

I am looking at these skimmers for my setup.

Unless you have other suggestions.

 

Sanding is Done, Finished, Terminar, Finition, Kivitelben, Chríochnú, Wykończenie

After making the rookie mistake on my tank. I started all over from scratch and sanded the inside and outside of the tank. All the way from 600 - 800 grit with an orbital sander, and hand sanded it from 1000 - 2000 grit. Next move is to clean and move tank inside of house. I would take pics but its nothing but a light to medium haze inside and out. I will post pictures once the tank is inside the house.

 

Hang in there, it'll all come out fine. You won't find the scratches that you missed until the buffing process. I've pulled my hair out at times, but just keep on trucking. Good thing is, when you're done with this tank, your arms will be so buff that nobody will mess with ya! ;D
