A Great Way to ruin a perfect wall; My 400 Gallon Project

[SERVO]

Keith!!!!! Holy Ships! Richmond?!?!?! Are you going big again? I can't wait to see you again. Are you coming in early to visit?

Chris, you are always welcome. Give me a ring. I too haven't had the best of luck with LED coloration. I have one of Aaron's DIY systems so the lighting scheme is the same. I'm amazed at what a difference a little bit of % change or time operating will make on the corals colors. I'll stick to Metal Halides for my main display for now.

MHG; What container are you referring to? The container that I use for my water changes? I picked that up at home depot. It was around $100.

I am getting ideas from DFWMAS, for my new system, but there are a limited amount of really knowledgeable hobbyists. I think with the exception of about 4-5 hobbiests, everyone has chimmed in *chuckle*. If you are interested in helping out, please do. I will start a build thread once I get better ideas.

I wish the earlier pics from this thread were still up!

Yep David the RVA, Richmond, VA for now. You know how I am though. Nothing is permanent.

Big is a relative term Ryan. I am setting up a 180G, about 250 total gallons. I would say that's medium sized. Some would call it big

Most likely we'll be in at least a little early to visit everyone. etc. I am going to try to spend the whole week before there but that just depends on how crazy work gets in between now and then. I'm hoping it will settle a bit. It's taking me forever to get this tank up because I have been travelling so freaking much! Hopefully after June it will settle down but I'm only home 2 weeks between now and the end of June.

Is there anyway you could post some additional pics and details on how you trimed out your access lid for the front? I have pretty much the same set up and love the way you finished this out. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
WB

If you're going to keep this thread going while you install the tank, I'll subscribe. It's previous incarnation looks pretty good.

Say hello to your wife. I hope she participates. I won't hit on her every time she contributes.
