I need some ideas on the stand though. I have a metal stand for it, but it is only 30” tall. Not a good height for us tall people. The issue I have is the bracing across the front of the stand. I want to be able to see all of the 125 when done. Not sure what I should do to where there are only uprights at the corners.

Any thoughts?

Kindof sucks but I'd build my own stand out of plywood for it instead. Sounds like you'd be doing a ton of work to the current one to even bring it close to where you want it to be it might not be worth the cost/time...

Ok time to start a project. The screws holding the hood together have corroded, so I got a piece of acrylic that I’m going to hopefully replace it with. No pressure...

Wasn't the original lens glass? if that is a Halide lamp it will just about cause a fire with acrylic!

Thinks he’s a person, will mostly just sit up in the front seat unless it’s a long trip. Best dog I’ve ever had :) (not that I’m currently biased!)

Mine are just entitled..They’re my babies, I can’t help it ;)

The frame around it is not. (What I thought I would have to replace). And yes, 150w MH :)

however, I managed to not destroy it, and reused everything (except the screws!).

I'd say that stuffed toy is entitled and spoiled, in my house it would be shredded into the tiniest pieces strewn about the house in a matter of minutes.

I dont know what came over heather today. I told her I need a new skimmer she said pick one out.

I'm wondering what I did or didn't do. It could also be she's heard me whining about how crappy the seaclone is.
