The canopy looks good!
It was worth waiting, the final look is really nice.
Great job Ed.
When are you planning to add some fish?

Thanks Felipe :rollface:

i just saw something interesting...your thread has 50100 views....i wonder what percentage of that i own!

Don't know....how much free time you have at the hospital??


Still hard to beat my old thread (which was rated 5 star) and if I remember correctly had a few splits and over 130,000 views :eek1:


Let's see how far this thread can go.......... :rolleye1:

Ed,
Your canopy is VERY BEAUTIFUL!
Now your set up looks complete.

I bet your wife is happy too!

 

[arctictwist]

Well its not so much free time as my job requirements constitute alot of time at a computer. Whether I am at post in the ER or manning the operators desk. Other than that I take two hour long rounds of the hospital each night. So unless i have to control any unfavorable situations im either doing rounds or at a computer. But ill be sure to contribute as much as i can to beating your old thread!

And this is how it looks like when completed

And with the T5 lights on….

From the end of the T5 tubes to the edge of the canopy frame is about 4cm so should be sufficient to block out those glares….


I will still need to make the center top piece to hide the protruding back of the LB reflector…..


Comments guys??



:rollface:

Absolutely beautiful! Perfect example of how amazing a shallow rimless tank can look!

UPDATES…

UPDATES…

Meanwhile someone got this in quarantine for me……..


Acanthurus Achilles (Achilles Tang)

Will cost me an arm and leg but apparently he is already swimming and eating already so hopefully will be worth it :lol:


Currently being quarantine with my fish dealer’s 200-g quarantine tank for 6-8 weeks and (keeping my finger cross) if things goes well, will be in his new home by then !!

GHL Controller:


Meanwhile, I think there is something wrong with my GHL controller?? I’m sending the controller back to my Singapore distributor together with the 2 x Ph probe and my conductivity probe for testing…


I believe it could be the probe issue as I didn’t keep it wet during the few months I was reefless :mad2:


Will keep everyone update once I have some info…

sweet! i love Achilles tangs!
