Hung the Aquatic T5!

Still in progress, but electric and storage cabinet (Ikea) is up. O'course I had to wrap it in red to match.

Door is still missing and I'm still mapping out where to mount stuff.

Great idea with wrapping the Aquatic Life fixture! What size is your fixture? Can you explain how you wrapped it and with what material? Was it labor intensive? What’s the secret to wrapping with the vinyls?

How clever to put the tank up against a cabinet instead of the wall...hmm...

It's not hard at all, but it does take time and patience. Just buy any vinyl from Amazon and use a X-acto knife to do the trimming. Before I assembled the light fixture, I wrapped it by the pieces. This particular fixture is the 60" model.

What tank do you have and are you planning to do the same?

The Reefer Peninsula 500 (soon) but I dont have room to do the same...I wish.

Making progress on the IKEA storage cabinet for my tank. Next project is to mount the Apex system and all the other electronics into the middle section.

For that part, I only wrapped the top part of the pipe. See pic.

Dude get some water in the tank, I’m dying to see how it all turns out - you must have some serious patience.

I love my 650P

LOL! I know, my newborn has been taking up all my time. Starting a family and a reef tank at the same time is no bueno. Got to keep wife happy and help out with the kiddos.

I'm designing my aquascape today and just got my last delivery of rocks. 200 pounds to pick from and love your minimalist concept. Any way you could get a frontal of your tank so i can get some ideas. I have way too much rock and don't want to go overboard. The excess is going to my sump after it's cured!

WOW...gotta follow this one!
