Seano's 29g FOWLR to a full reef build[UPDATE 2/10/11]

Yikes! I like my rock. lol. I will be buying 10-15 more lbs, putting me at 28. I like the open look, but yes I know I need to get more.

 

Yup! I'll be going with Boost LED(3 blue 2white) 60* optics bulbs. Either two or three.

 

your plans look great. I can't wait to see the conversion when you're finished. Best of luck!

 

Thank you very much!

 

I painted the inside of the stand. The outside looks sloppy, but that's fine. It will be covered anywyas.

 

Driling is easy!

I drilled the hole for the drain line today...here are some pictures.

The Victim:


A closer look:


What we did:


Gave him some scars too. My mistake.


Then we gave him a tracking device.




Then we painted him & fixed him up. My apologies to, glass tank.

 

Looks like you made a lot of progress. You are a lot bravier than me, I could not drill a tank.

Paint and overflow looks great. ;D

 

Good work

 

Thanks!

I was nervous at first. The drill kept slipping! But I had my brother hold the stencil(came with the overflow box from Glass Holes) in place & I used that until I could get a grip in the glass.

 

Starting is the worst. I have seen recommendations of buying a hole saw the same diameter as the glass hole bit and drilling a piece of wood for the template. Then you get clamps and clamp the template and another piece on the other side to eliminate the chipping.
