He is tica certified, not sure how what generation but I got him from an amazing breeder in Mexico.

I sent a random comment last year that I loved the kitten picture and this year they replied he was available if I wanted him.

A hood is smart lol

It’s done, going with hood

 

[748S911]

This is gonna look spectacular!

 

[ReeferBud]

Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Is that enough light for a tank this size or are you planning on adding more fixtures?

 

[748S911]

now that I’m enclosing it thinking 10 kessils total

 

[748S911]

Or 5 xr 15’s G6’s on left and right.

 

[ReeferBud]

if you go with XR30s, you’ll need at least 10 lights and would make 2 rows of 5 lights.

for reference, I have a 96x36x30 and I’m running 6 XR30s and 8 T5s for SPS.

Not with that cat

 

[748S911]

The Narnia door lol

 

[748S911]

almost done with frame, next is tile. Still waiting on Deltec pallet to be delivered. Lights are gonna sit 12 inches away from surface now due to cat, and having to enclose this monster tank.

None reef related, 2022 Rubicon 4XE I’m loving it… I have a 15 mile commute, I plug in and go

 

[748S911]

Tile guy comes on Tuesday. They are doing finishing touches on frame work Monday.

Floor and decor ran out of the dark cement gray tile, so I have to return the discontinued product, and get new color.

Im going with large format tile 24x48 porcelain tile in all white or light cement gray.

Why are you lowering the lights?

 

[748S911]

Now that I have canopy it doesn’t matter where they are placed gonna run them with out lenses 12” off water and or with 55 degree lenses. Also thinking about Radions G6 Xr15’s pros? or blue for fill light next to kessils. Now that I have canopy was even considering throwing two 400 watt metal halides up and t5 lol.

Keep kessil and do 15 pros or 360x along the sides

 

[ReeferBud]

Looking great.

how are you venting heat and humidity from the canopy?

 

[748S911]

Fans and a dehumidifier unit I’m thinking

considering lids on display and sump to combat humidity too.

 

[748S911]

Hopefully I’ll be able to regulate temp easier now that it’s enclosed.
