Thank you so much!!! I love lighting, it really adds a touch of sophistication and cheer. The lights are just simple plug in strips with a dimmer. They’re super cheap and easy to install...just a matter of hiding the cords.Haven’t seen your thread in a while, it all looks so good! You have a really good eye. Wish you could give my wife some tips. Shelves to her are just a place to put whatever.
I have similar shelves in my living room and you’ve inspired me to install lighting, makes such a big difference.
I’m using 3 over my 200G Bowfront that one of the club members re-engineered using Cree lights. They have only been runnin for about 8 months but I love them.I’m shopping for lighting currently...is anyone using black box lighting with good results?
I’m a big fan of radions but I haven’t found a buyer for one of my kidneys yet
Happy New Year everyone! The tank arrived in time for my birthday (December 31st), but unfortunately there are some issues with the tank and I’m waiting on a replacement. I haven’t posted details because I was very emotional about this and I wanted to give the lfs and builder a chance to make it right before mentioning anything online. Both business are reputable so I’m hopeful that the tank will be up and running soon. I’m currently working on the shelves that will go on each side of it and installing cabinet lighting. The bright side of having to wait is getting more time to work on the details and maybe even save up for that apex that was mentioned! Bwahaha!!!
I’m itching to get water going through that sump!!!! It’s pretty sweet!!! Hubby got the bigger one and I’m very excited, although it does take up most of my cabinet space. The protein skimmer barely fits! Lol Luckily it’s very easy to empty the cup. I ended up going with the Maxspect skimmer.
My poor fish are eager to get out of the quarantine tanks and I’m pleased to report that my yellow tang is showing improvement. He got an infection that has been resistant to the normal antibiotics and has been getting injections every other day for two weeks (Not fun!) Ive gotten pretty good at it and he’s been a rock star tolerating it. Keep your fingers crossed for this sweet little guy please
The Petco Yellow tang's fins should heal well without problem after I month or two I think. I got my share of sick fish and invert at Petco and nurse them back to health.Ughhh... the tank builder didn’t have the tank ready in time to be delivered today. Soooo this saga continues another week. On a positive note, I took today off work for the delivery but I’m enjoying getting a little rest. It also gives me another week to work on the doors and canopy. It’s irritating but this too shall pass.
At least my little ones are still doing well in the quarantine tanks. More good news...I got extremely lucky with a yellow tang from petco!!!!! He was only $60 because his fins were damaged. This was after the Hawaii ban and subsequent price increases so I feel extremely lucky to have found him.
Thanks so much!
I’m very happy to say that my first yellow tang is doing well. My fish wish list originally included about five yellow tangs but recent events will prevent that. I have four Zebrasoma (two yellow, one purple and a scopas). I may add another zebra but for now my quarantine tanks are full lol
Be careful of water dropping on your wooden floor. Don't let it stay for too long. Something to think about. You can put a carpet of some kind but it might not fit your style. Just something to be aware of.The carpentry work is officially DONE!!!! Yayyy!!!
great job,looks awesome..again very nice.!!!
I can totally vouch for that! Lol Aquariums and two Labrador retrievers pretty much destroyed the floor we had previously. This floor I have now is water resistant laminate and almost indestructible thankfully. I may still put a rug to cozy it up and add more protection.
Thanks so much! It kicked my butt but it’s finally come togetherWOW!! Looks fantastic!! You did a wonderful job
