290G Peninsula Tank

Looking good buddy! Hopefully the weather will hold off until the concrete and roof are in place.

I think my neck is going to be sore the first couple of visits swinging it back and forth between the view of the tank to the view of the lake!

Looking good Mark, nice to see you got past the bs known as the city of vernon!

Is the front of your house facing east or west? Not knowing your whole plan, but if you're facing west could the heat from setting sun be a problem for the tank? Just throwing that out there!

Thanks for the comments everyone. So glad that we are finally on the way.

As for the house position to the sun. The sun should be setting where most of the light is going to be hitting the back yard rather than the front windows. Even then, the tank is about 17' back from the windows so I doubt that heat will be an issue. Actually, I think that I might have to spend more time heating this tank as the fish room is in the basement and should be quite cool so sump/refuge water will get a good chance to cool down.

Well, got the moonlights working last night. Unlike the rest of the build, these had to be soldered so I wanted to test them out.
This is the 4 moonlight kit from Rapid which includes a little driver pushing them at 350ma
