Ghellin's 180 build.

[deleau]

What are the overall dimensions of that google drawn box of awesomeness?

 

[ghellin]

Lol 74"L x 26"W x 20"T

 

[ghellin]

Getting closer.


And stand.

 

[SVTour]

Should look nice - do you know what type of wood yet?

 

[ghellin]

Thanks! Oak most likely.

 

[deleau]

Are you going to vent through the heatsinks or move air across the top?

 

[ghellin]

Move air across the top, the heat sinks will sit flush to the inside top of the canopy to keep the majority of the radiating heat out of the canopy. I will add a small clip fan to the top of the canopy that moves significant amounts of air quietly. should all be hidden from below

Tank looks really nice
Good build

 

[ghellin]

Thanks sir! Great to hear from you!

Wife got me a Go Pro for Christmas, here is my 58 QT tank with my clams and corals that will be moved to the 180.

Pretty cool! Your shrimp is pretty entertaining too.

Lol thanks! He stays on my hand or arm anytime I am in the tank.

Real nice tank. Those clams are sweet.

 

[deleau]

Wow, really nice clams.

I like your frag rack too.

I picked up a 40 breeder for a QT that I haven't set up yet. I've got a bunch of frags in my nanocube waiting for my big tank to get ready (lost a couple but most are surviving).

Once we both get the tanks going, we should look at some swaps.

 

[ghellin]

Thanks! Absolutely I love to trade!. I will sell this 58 once I am done with the QT. Will have to get a smaller option.

Love your setup! Following along....more pictures please

 

[deleau]

What return pump are you using? I've got the reeflo snapper/dart hybrid with the default snapper installed but I'm considering the dart impeller.

 

[ghellin]

A mag 9.5 right now. Will probably end up with a fluval sp6. Have to go internal to keep it quiet.

Thanks! Hopefully more pics soon waiting for warmer weather to start the canopy.

 

[ghellin]

Finally something to update! We have had a few days of nice weather so I was able to get my canopy started!

I am using oak, and plywood for the back and top.
