Cannons 210g build

[FoxDaddy]

I'm gonna make an attempt to share our 1st build from the ground up...hope you like it. The dimensions are 84" x 24" x 24". The stand is 40" tall. Forgive me if I struggle uploading pics.

4 gen 2 Radions and 3 Mp40s. Can't wait to see these bad boys light it up!

Cleaned up the tank and started staining and painting the stand.

Here's a few more pics to catch up the progress. The 1st pics were about 2 weeks ago.

Currently we have a 90g which we did a DIY led build on, the growth was ok and the color was good but after trying out the Radions...I wish I had just started with them to begin with. That bein said...we'll have 4 on the 210.

Ok so there were some pretty big chips in the corners of the glass. They've been filled but they still looked like crap. This was my solution. I spray painted the inside of some corner covers for walls. Cut it to size and slapped me on. Whamo!!! Looks like new black acrylic.

Is the paintbrush holding the stand up? The stand looks good. My only concern is that crack. Do you think the pieces you added will keep it stable?

Fantastic work so far. Keep it up

The paintbrush was only there temporarily for extra support, as you can see, later we chose to remove it and take our chances.

As for the chips, they're minor so fingers are crossed.

I'm glad I got a response from Newbie Aquarist though...it's officially a large tank thread now!

You being here makes your build official, not my presence. Although it does add to your total responses.

Yes, very nice work on the black corner covers.

 

[FoxDaddy]

Picked up some pieces of the puzzle today.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

They must have ran out of parts because I am sure you will need more than that.

 

[FoxDaddy]

A few more valves, reducers, and loc-line are in route. But this'll get the top done.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Just the top? Now I am dreading my build even more.

 

[FoxDaddy]

Gonna try and get these in this week so they start curing. Gonna try the E6000 then black silicone over it. If anyone has any suggestions please pipe in. I've never tried to adhere acrylic to glass. :/

 

[FoxDaddy]

Also, if anyone knows how I could start makin my images fit better that'd be great.

 

[FoxDaddy]

So here's the Canopy. I'll get started on the stain this weekend. Comments are welcome...
