This is true. The 2000th post does deserve pictures but a newbie took that post. The only update so far is that I hung my light rack.

It's just a waiting game until the big day arrives.

Nice. How much weight are you expecting to put there?

Just the LED pendants and the retro T5 kits. No more than, wait let me google that.

 

[worm5406]

Hummm... 300 lbs.... Do not forget the chin-up bar.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

I would need 5 LED pendants that weigh 15 lbs a piece. And 4 retrofit t5 kits might weigh 30 lbs? So I think I have it covered.

That was including the chin up bar. :lolspin::lolspin::lolspin:

you might have to hook the center to the ceiling as well, i think there will be some lag around the center. take an ice cooler and hang it from the middle and slowly fill it with 2 gallons of saltwater to check for sag.

If you mean the pushup test then yes. I can perform live if you like.

What are you running for calcium and kalk needs ?

What are you running for calcium and kalk needs ?

I am going with three part dosing. I have thought about Calcium reactors but i believe dosing is my best advantage. I could use a mixture in my topoff water but that requires more research on my part.

 

[kenjung]

Yea my last to do for my build is choosing which route to go for calcium, it looks like I am going with Calcium reactor. Dosing will part of mix but hopefully only for top off.

Are you building LEDs or purchase ?
