Can you cut the frame to be any size, or does it come in a stock size?

 

[Paul_N]

They have kits already pre-cut with everything in it and they also have the pieces individually. I bought a few 6ft pieces of the frame and then a three pkgs of the corner pieces(4each) and then the rubber to wedge in and hold the screen in place.

Looking forward to seeing it. Are you going to stay with your 10k bulbs, go with something higher, or suppliment with actinic?

 

[vr697getta]

14k aqua connects depending on how i like them i might go 20k. probably 20k reeflux

There it is...the Money shot! Looks great...looking forward to some more closer up pictures Roland. Do you find that your greens still have a definitive fluorescence to them? That's why I've gone to a 20k for the moment, but the tank is kinda blue looking, and I'd like a little more white while still picking up what I'm losing from not having actinic supplementation anymore.

 

[vr697getta]

oh yeah the greens pop way more. even my purple cap look way more purple lol.
i had a bad experience with 14k before and hated how it looked. it was way to blue. this i really like

 

[vr697getta]
