Default kengeroo white C-250 journey...

the tank has been running since 04/2014,, decided to start a journal..
Will start off with a quick summary..

first attempt at the rock structure, don't mind the ghetto frag rack...



built in moon lights aren't too bad



tried some ghetto elbows on the outlet



upgraded to some locline piping,, much better looking

Default T5 replacement --- upgrade to radions..

Hated the heat generated from the T5's,, decided to upgrade to Radions

beginning of ripping apart the hood



what to keep ,, what to chuck,, ended the only thing that was left,, was the timer and the cooling fans



custom mount made of lightweight aluminium/plastic sandwich for the radions



radions in place



it's alive !



complimented with a set of moon lights



final product...

Nice. What's its volume? And how much did it cost you, if I may ask?
