i have been hording my reefing equipment for about 5 months before my friend and i started building my setup. To begin with we had to rip off all the dry wall from the other side of my room and then we built a frame for the tank.

DIY full spectrum bar! first impression on the full spectrum bar! Amazing! What i notice right away is the bar balance out my Blues and royal blues making everything looks more natural. Also the colours on my fishes pops a lot more! ill try to keep you guys updated on the progression of my corals in a few weeks.
