thanks for the comments I'll do that now. Didn't know you could do that .

I like the rock formation you've got going on there. When that puppy grows out it'll be sweet! Good idea with the open canopy...i don't think heat will be much of a problem that way.

Keep us updated and stop using my real name (lastlight) on a public forum man!

Cheers,

:P gotcha man, no name using!. Thanks yea I tried to go for less liverock because I wanted more room for the fish and more space for sps. Hopefully the open canopy will get enough heat through.

Hey, heres the done deal, the canopy is hung and the metal halide is turned on!

[lastlight]

That's awesome!

I was planning on a light skirt as well for my new tank and it's so hard to find pictures of anyone actually doing this. I'm still torn between this and a nice fixture. Is that the aquaconnect?

[gqlmao]

yup thats the aqua connect, yea the only problem with this kind of set up is that is it hard to position but once thats in everything is set. I used 2x2 wood I believe, plus very light pine wood siding. The canopy weighs less then 25 pounds with both the lighting attached. Now I just gotta buy some glass for the bracing so I dont have to use any more nasty eggcrates :P.

Well I just had a huge leak on my bulkhead 3 days ago, for the last 2 days I've been trying to work with flex hoses and added a garbage can as a refugium on the side. The old sump setup was scraped and I hope this new one will last. The setup is a lot cleaner and forsure if theres a leak next time it will be a lot easier to fix. I'm sure everyone has felt that 10 gallon of water on the floor feeling and all you can do is scream and swear
