Trevor, the light racks are sliding door tracks. I got them from mcmaster.com I can look up the part# for you later.

Thanks Dan.

Dan is that 2 exhaust fans above your tank? Or on fan and a ac vent?

 

[Avast Marine]

2ea 100cfm exhaust, an intake for the central AC unit AND a 175cfm inline fan to pull heat from the lights

 

[erics3000]

Do you mean an ac return? Are you afraid of that moist saltwater air getting to your ac?

 

[Avast Marine]

Not really. The salt wont evaporate and the water that does will be taken care of by the condenser from the AC itself.

Hey Dan, how are you going to get it into the closet?

Post up when you need help and I'll see if I can get out there to help move it in for you. I still need to pick that tank up from you for school and pay you for it, too!

By the way, I didn't read through the whole thing, but what made you decide to go with the 10,000K XMs this time around?

Hey Dave! Notice the last pic I posted, the stand is actually on blocks and there is a sheet of 1/8" pvc on the floor. I have a pallet jack Should be a two man job from here.

XM 10k is like the frigging sun baby! More so even when you run on m59 ballast. I like the look and wanted really high par bulbs so I could get the full 3' spread with the LIII's and only run 3ea halides. I have always run these bulbs just FYI.

Let me know on the school tank. Ready when you are, just the next two weeks I am swamped. I want water in this thing by 10-1....

Hey dan take lots of pic. when you get in the closet, another thing, are you going to put a door on the closet to close it if you have to? Wish I had the room to have a tank like yours.
