Well, the urge to travel sometimes over-rides everything. Do it while you can...

Ya...one of these days!!! So...new updates??

mseepman 08-24-2008 10:53 PM

None to report...waiting on bulkheads and RK2 to arrive. I could hang the light but I've been working on the new house plans and finally started to get somewhere so I have focused on it.

Myka 08-24-2008 11:33 PM

Ah, gotcha! I'd be neck deep in house plans too. I of course, like that sort of schtuff. :D

Myka, tried to hang the light, ran into some issues...pm'd you about them.

Well, I got a little farther in my efforts to get this tank running today. Thanks to my brother (the extra set of hands were a must) we got the light hood on tonight. What a pain in the... No studs lined up with where my hangers needed to go, so after some ghetto modifications, we got around that...don't ask how.:lol:

Anyways...here are some pics:

This is the hood just after we got it hanging. The tank and stand will go back around 2 more inches still which will center things a little more.

Here is the tank with just the dual T5HO lights on.

Here it is with both the T5HO and the 70W 14k MH.

My RK2 arrived in Vernon today, but I was not home to get the delivery...so tomorrow I will pick it up and get to working on that.

Thanks, I think that the light looks a little overwhelming there because there is nothing in the tank and it's reflecting off the bottom. We'll have to see what water, rock and some sand do to it.

Glad you managed to get it hung! Looks great!!!! Almost time to get it wet.... :D :D :D
