Sam's Oceanic 120 - DIY solutions

More corals lined up from a local guy... 45minute drive but he has got some crazy nice sps. Once I regain stability which I may have because things don't seem to have gotten worse from last night.

only because you keep it clean
 
How many people would be interested in algae scrubber kits @ reasonable cost? What would be reasonable price-point for all the machined (& tapped) acrylic for both the scrubber and the stand, the threaded nib-ends, and the lights? I could offer white, black & red acrylic for the stand material, folks would need weld-on and to follow the instructions.
I cant believe how expensive some are... This one is a 300W scrubber? Each light is 150W.

...if it works...

SICK!

PS. LOL I'm sorry but the part where you "treated you bearings to a little TLC" I'm proud of your restraint.

that's a 10 part series! pace yourself! heh. thanks for watching. I'm still learning howto make captivating footage... lol.. that last rock video set me back...
 
Installed! works like a champ! only had to adjust one little thing to keep the mesh centered on the slit. I only have one light installed at the moment so I made a screen for the other side. its pretty nice being able to lift it the see how things are growing... I am very happy with this project. not very happy with my execution.
I could have completed this without killing a bunch of coral.
It would have been well worth it had I not set myself back.

I plan to add a Noop K7 mini to the fuge and make it a xenia garden and overflow frag space. These will run counter to the daytime light schedule.
