Hi I’m smithy I’m from the uk and Iv just started to get some bits together to start my financial mistake well one of them any way.
this is what I have got so far and I think I got it at a good price. £100
If someone could tell me what light this is so I can get some instructions for it would be brilliant.

Sump
Light
Return pump
Skimmer
Some sort of reactor aswell.
Carnt wait to get it set up fingers crossed it will all go well.
And yes I will be adding some braces to the desk to strengthen it.

Welcome to the forum!

I’m not really sure what the light is. Is there an information sticker on it anywhere?

Welcome to the hobby! See if you can find a logo or a label on the light fixture, even the tag on the electrical cord might help.

Not much of an update but i got advised to replace the desk so I have.
went to wickes today pick up 6 lengths of 4x2 to build my new stand. Iv been told that this is one of the tried and tested stands so Iv got with this design just my measurements
All wood is now cut to size just need to use my pals drill as mine is a bit s**t lol

 

[robert.smith2888]

frame all done hopefully ply by end of week

Just a little up date on the stand

 

[robert.smith2888]

But I was not happy so I’m redoing it to have hinges and doors as the 6 magnets never worked and I could not get a flush front as the wood is slightly bowed
So in process of changing now
All will be silicone up for a nice finish

It’s starting to get there now just need to do a couple more coats and then the top coat to give it that shine. I will also be adding some floor beading around the door to finish it up .
not sure if I want to put any handles on it or keep it looking how it is.

Nice little up date on how it’s going
Currently just ro water in there at the min bringing it up to temperature and at the weekend time to add some salt

need to put the tops on the side cupboards and do a bit of tiding up with the edges and I’ll be happy
