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





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


flow will consists of

8 to 10 vortech mp60wes
6 to 8 vortech mp40wes


skimmer

bubble king 500 external
like my man Albert says "why go second best just pick the mac daddy of them all" lol. Will Albert you make is so easy

that's it for now

Thanks Dave

Wow, this is amazing, if you get this built you'll have to start charging admission to get in your house. Can't wait to see this unfold.

Dude I *Just* talked to you yesterday and you've changed skimmers! You are hilarious dude I am curious to see how faithful you can be to your current plans.

What happened to the mitered top edges on the tank?

will Albert from proline called me a sissy for even thinking about settling for second best it is the bling bling factor or what he likes to call "mac daddy"

as for the mitered edges i may go back to this but the cost! just can't get my head around this

the stand will be ordered on tuesday when i get back to work, so i only have a couple days to change my mind lol equipment on the other hand that's a different story

tell proline to man up and sponser the build I'm sure they dont have too many tanks using the most expensive products they carry - could make for a nice "advertising" piece

The cost?! At this point you're worried about the cost of some mitered edges? Looks like the tanks are covered though, aren't they? How would you see mitered edges anyway?

I think you would be better off without the 45 slope on the drop. Looks like a small space at the bottom?
