We machined out the pieces for the tank yesterday. We used 3/4" Cell Cast acrylic for the build.

Was able to get the bottom boards machined tonight. I laminated 3 sheets of PVC board together and then CNC'ed them to size. They are 1.15" Thick total. Turned out pretty good. We kept it going with the Synergy Reef color scheme.

Fresh off the CNC!

I want your light. I'll send you my ATI fixture for trade...straight up.

Lol.. nope I'll pass! :-D I actually considered the ATIs but really wanted to get my radiums back. This fixture is also high quality. Can't go wrong with giesemann.

Nice build so far. Glad to see another new tank with halides. They are making a slow comeback IMO.

That Giesemann fixture is pure sexy. Best looking halide fixture out.
