This is the new 50gal. I haven't really arranged the rock yet, but you get the idea.. Most of this rock will probably be for sale in about a month. It is 50lbs of marshall and will be fore sale at $7 per lb firm. (secare sells this rock for $8.95 per lb)

Lighting will be 1 400w radium, 2 NO actinics and 1 daylight run on a WH7. (only 2 actinics on in tank shot).

The hood is set up so that I can just unplug 3 disconnects in the back and take it right off. I will have more pics of the sump and main tank when I get everything finished off. Let me know what you think of the hood and stand.

Nice stuff! What are the dimensions of the tank? What ballast are you using to run the radium (have to ask, sorry...) ?

What are your plans for the tank?

Ok, one more question. What's the reflective backing on the inside of the hood? Polished aluminium or something else?

It looks-ah very nice-ah! (Ah told heem we've already got one!)

Seriously, that looks great! Did you build the stand and canopy? I like the idea of having the disconnects for the entire hood. I assume the tank is 3 foot.

thanks guys..

tank is a standard 50gallon 3'x18"x18"

Radium will be run on a regular pfo ballast till I can get my hands on a blueline-e.. Anyone wanna combine order some bluelines from the states with me?

Plans- humm.. The tank will be sps dominated (obviously). I may end up moving the contents of the 33 over to it.. That's why I am saying the rock will likely be for sale..

The reflective stuff is mylar and the reflector over the halide is spectral aluminum. All the mylar seams are siliconed shut so that salt creep can't get under them.

I built the stand and canopy with my father. It's made from fur marine grade plywood.
