Looks great Dave

Looks awesome Dave!!

HOLY CRAP!! That's amazing! Definetly make it viewable from the bathroom! I moved my 55 into the bathroom while I was swapping things over to my 160 and I (and my wife) loved it! I just wish we had a set up that was condusive to having a tank there, but it would be to hard and obtrusive to plumb... :(

Go take a look at your tank and look from the front through to the side, and hold your hand on the side... can't see it, right? Do it. You know you want to. Only problem is that you may have house guests taking really long bathroom breaks!! lol

lol your going to give all your fish pink eye everytime you flush

LMAO!!!

Just a little update or more like change of plans, after reading a thread about a drop off tanks i figured why not:mrgreen:

please ignore the colours on the stands, it was just to allow me to visualize how it would come together, the finished product will be powder coated black.

Now to the good part

so i have basically narrowed down my search for lights down to two units

first option would be 8 or 9 of the pacific sun black python XM units

or four of the vertex illumina 260 6' fixtures
