Lap's 90 Gal Reef - Need flow help

[Phanman]

nice work! how is your acrylic rods done at the base? just stuck into the bottom rock? or did you make a H type of support?

[Ryan_Lap]

The rods are just but into the bottom rock. I kind of wish Id done a base, but this seems to be working quite well.

I agree. It looks great. Can't wait to see some corals on it.

I am in the process of building a similar setup. Can you explain how your rocker switches are setup (ie. wiring, enclosures and the like.)?

[Ryan_Lap]

The enclosure for the switches was just built with wood and installed in the top of the stand to get it as far out of the way as possible.

Most of the switches control my lights. 2 Metal halides , actinics, led moonlights, and fuge light. Each white timer controls one of the lights I want to come on since they all come on and off at different times.

The wiring goes from the switch box to the white timer via a short extension corrd. Then the main cord for the light is plugged into the timer.

Im sure there is some controller I could have used instead of doing all of this, but I had everything laying around from old ventures.
