As previously mentioned. The lighting mount is 80/20 Extruded Aluminum. Hope that answers your question.

Sorry for not having any updates. Everything has been moving pretty slow. Today I received some additional pictures. It should be another 2 weeks or so until it’s shipped. Crystal Dynamic Aquariums want to water test it at their facilities prior to the shipment. I am excited to see it n person.

Hello everyone sorry it has been awhile since I posted on here. I did receive the tank but it has been in my garage for awhile and just recently did I have the opportunity as well as help to bring it inside. I will post some pictures below of the Arrival and setup as it stands so far. Yesterday I finally was able to finish the plumbing and filled it up for the leak test. I will also be making some modifications on the plumbing. I will be adding true Union check valves on both returns and I will eventually also be adding a manifold off of the return so that I can use for reactors. I will be updating the thread as I Progress or made modifications.please make comments or suggestions as you see fit.


Thanks

Your plumbing parts look great. Where did you purchase the pipes and connectors?

 

[PANONHAS]

They were purchased with the tank. You can also get them at Aquarium Specialty and BulkReef. They are Schedule 80.

Thanks

Looks great, we're building out something of a similar setup at the same time. You're on MR right? Keep the updates coming.

Hello everyone its been awhile since I’ve posted here. The tank has been having its ups and downs. Mostly downs from the Pukani Rock to the point where I just recently replaced it I was getting tons of algae and no matter what I did it just kept spreading. Eventually I took the rock out and within a week there was no more algae. I added some Marco rock and just today I received my Bonsai frag trees. I just put them in my tank and I really like the look. Hopefully all the parameter stay as stable as they have been and I cN finally start enjoying the tank. I have also been buying frags fro the past couple of months and can’t wait to see them grow. Below are a series of picture leading up to today.

Thanks

That is gorgeous.

 

[PANONHAS]

Thank you. Let see how it goes. Hopefully when it all grows out it will look much better. Good thing is I can move the frags easily from one area to another by just moving the plates from one side to another. Great job on the part of West Mariculture.
