So it has been a while since i updated this. I just have been very busy lately and trying to get this done so i can have it start cycling. So here are some pics :)

Fits perfectly and made some baffles...

Got my black starboard and silicone the edges...

Made the light stand out of PVC then spray painted it black... The light was heavier than i thought about 30 something pounds or more... The glass shield weighs a lot! I was worried it wouldnt hold but i guess PVC is pretty strong :) it bends but nothing too major... I havent seen the fixture for a while since i purchased it a long time ago and when i was building the light stand i measured wrong for the hanging kit so came up short :( hope its not too much of a problem in the long run.

Hamilton Cebu 2 250watt 20k Radiums, 4 T-5 actinic 03, and not sure if you can see it but this fixture has some LEDs on the base of the single ended bulbs also thinking about switching 2 of the T-5 03 actinics to 22k aqua science though what you guys think?

Thanks Billy! Just the flowstar :) yeah that is a lot but i added a ball valve so i adjusted it about 50% or so. The skimmer is SWC 160 cone, got it from Luke at reeffiltration.

Wow thats a lot of water... at least you dont have to carry buckets of water from upstairs to downstairs.... Thats a pretty beast reactor from what i heard :)

Corals are doing good, but its that time of the year i guess where some zoas start to act funny... How are yours doing?
