Tideline 62G Lagoon AIO - Build Thread

[bdesign]

So, the Noopsyche lights…

One started shutting off and then a few minutes later back on.

From what I can tell, it’s overheating, cooling off, then turning back on.

Using the brackets they provided nearly completely covers half of the cooling fan.

I bought some rigid tubing and longer screws creating a 1” spacer to allow for unimpeded exhaust from the cooling fan.

Additionally, I removed the canopy and installed two 140mm cooling fans; one blowing in and the other out.

They’re 5.5” diameter - larger than I expected.

Fans installed, lights back up, and added sand (Tropic Eden Reef Flakes).

It’s ready for water:

Added a pin that slides through the side and into the flip top:

I was irrationally concerned the top would somehow fall back down and swing/slam into the front of the tank.

Added water last night

Love the finished result, great work! I would love to do something like this for our 62 lagoon :star-struck:
