Special Thanks
I'd like to thank Dez and Muck for all the help they've given me in the building and plumbing of this tank and Kuatto for such a great deal on the glass for this tank.

Looking good! Big improvement from the empty tank I saw a couple weeks ago!

[kuatto]

Looks alot better than it did sitting in my garage :mrgreen: Still can't believe you cut in down to half the total gallons :razz:

[Dez]

Hey....I can tell there is a tiny spot in the back that looks a little crooked... It looks like the glass was cut crooked or something...''cough cough"

:x-mas:

looks good Harvey, you did a good job of covering those holes in the bottom..

Did you guys also notice that the pendant is actually centered on the tank? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Nice tank Harvey. Looks vaguely familiar. :biggrin:
Anymore pics?

[Beermaster]

Hey do guys mind if i pick you brains on the setup of that thing?

I just bought a 16" cube and want to do the same kind of thing, with everything hidden like that

Hi Mark,

PM me with any/all the questions you have. I'll be glad to help. Or, you can make a new thread in the DIY section and everyone there will chime in :cool:

[danny zubot]

I'm curious, how much natural daylight does the tank get? Have you noticed any algae because of it?

[mr_alberta]

Those blinds are always closed, so it gets very little natural sunlight. I do open them occasionally and will probably open them more during the summer months, so I'll keep you posted.

Before I had MH or even PCs over my tank I was able to keep a few SPS under NO lighting because it got several hours of sunlight each day. I found it pretty neat!
