Canopy all finished! Filled, sanded, and painted. Now to run the new light full time. Getting the first corals in tomorrow. Still deciding on the stock as in fish and inverts.

i love where it is located , and the shape doesnt take up much room. looks great. lets some more please.

Yeah it's cool how you can see it when your walking to the kitchen or when your sitting on the couch... at least from what I can tell. How do you feed and such??? Is the hood hinged or do you have to take it right off or is there a some kinda mini door??

[Ryan_Lap]

Yah I have to lift the hood up a bit. The only time Ill have to take the hood off is to aquascape tho. I have a funnel and a tube that I put in the back opening for adding water for top ups and for feeding.

ic... decide on a theme yet??

[Ryan_Lap]

I didnt think we needed a theme? Thats more or less a part of the contest?, but I may just ..... well Im not sure yet. Ill have to see if its too much light for what Im thinking.

[superduperwesman]

I think I made a decision

[Ryan_Lap]

I think I know which way your going...

[Ryan_Lap]

I think Im going full out shroom land. Nothing but shrooms, as many different types and colors I can find. Anything considered or even called a shroom. Im hoping the 175w with the 14k will work. But I have a 20k bulb that may come in handy if its not working out for me. Most of them will have to start off fairly small considering the price layout, but I think given a few months I should be able to get some decent growth.

Oh and the tank has been running for about 3 hours with the light on now. Temp has been at 23C constant. Hopefully I can maintain that. The fans seem to be doing the job thus far.
