Id freak out if ive seen that cat in my mountain bike rides.

The cat is harmless, unless hes playing. he does like to play fetch though.

Are the Radions attached directly to the underside of the canopy without any space in between? Do they need vents above or additional fans for circulation? I as because I'm having a canopy and cabinet built next month and have a 210 with a very similar set up going.

Your DT looks great, the build has been nicely done and I really like the mix of fish you chose!

Best of luck
Mike

they better be.... they race back and forth all day now

They have about a 1/2" space between them and the canopy, also there is a gap about 2" wide in the canapy that they are across. it gives them enough room for air. plus, the top of the radions are flat. there is already a gap between the fan and the top part so you could mount them against the canopy. i think the screws were m5-.08 50mm long.... the top of the canopy is 1/2" thick.

Your tank looks great! I just started a 90g and already want to upgrade. Haha!

Yeah my upgrade obsession started about a year in. I'm glad I got to do a lot of things differently after my experiences. I loves my 120 but I'm really excited about what this one will become.

11sec76 - Thank you for the detailed response. To make sure that I understand about the 2" gap... are you saying that it is directly above the fixture?

Thanks
Mike

hope this sketch can help. if not i will try to take a pic of the actual canopy tonight.

 

[ilikefish34]

Again, I appreciate the detail. That spelled it out very well and a photo is not necessary. Does this allow for ambient light to come through or does the direct nature of the LED's keep the light contained?

 

[11sec76]

very little light escapes. the gap is mainly for ventilation.
