TheGrimmReefer's rimless 120g Showcase Thread

Can you tell me how many lbs of liverock you used in this setup please?

It's roughly about 100lbs.

So, I've grown tired of waiting on Ecotech to release the mounting brackets for the Radion fixtures and decided to take things into my own hands.. I had a friend of mine from my local reef club fab up some brackets tailored to fit my exact wants and he came through, big time! Check these out!



He drew up CAD drawings, not only for the fixture itself, but on exactly how and where I would mount them to the tank, in order to be perfectly on center.


Here's what they look like mounted






Here's how they attach to the frame of the stand


I've gotta say, I am more than happy in the way they turned out. The guy did an awesome job on these from start to finish.

Those look amazing. Ecotech need to contract him to build their hanging brackets.

My colors are all at 100% with an overall intensity of 80%. Which is higher than I've seen (or read) of anyone running them. But, my Acans are 40 inches from the light itself.

Looking good. How high AWL are the radions?

Guess I could have done the math :) 18 - 19" AWL?

 

[TheGrimmReefer]

They're about 15" off the water line. The tank is 25" tall.
