Mitchwelt's 540 build

[RcToners]

garage will be empty tuesday...

Im telling you mitch had I not just set my 375 up, made the stand and done all the rock work I would never have let this tank go. The more I see the work you are doing on the tank the more I think I should have just kept the tank Nice job mitch keep up the good work.

excellent !

One important thing the LED's will need some circulation if they are gonna be recessed.

I truly dont' think that 4-5 will suffice IME.

Keep in mind i plan on doing a fowlr tank, tho I plan on softies and some lps stuff to
If I need more then ill get more, I was thinking about the recess light and heat to, haven't figured it out yet, might just do a light track that I can slide them out of way.

i think track is going to be the best bet and we could weld one up simple as can be and it would be less work for sure ....

 

[gasman059]

kkkk got it in that case the lights will be perfect just have them high enuff and you will have no problem.

If u do miss some spots t5 supps will certainly help.

Not simple, it will have to be aluminum and I don't have an aluminum welder, it we make it out of steel, it will rust for sure hanging over tank, good thing I know where an aluminum welder is

drilling acrylic is so easy. :lol:

I had so much water everywhere when I drilled a glass tank. Plus the thought of the tank exploding the entire time.

Acrylic is easy, but it melts fast, and if you stop I'm the middle your bit will be stuck, just as Mrx
