Thanks guys.

Nice design on the stand! I like how you have a removable front panel and not doors!

 

[nanonubey]

Yeah I knew I couldn't make nice doors and I didn't want to buy small doors from HD. I made it so the door slides up in a pocket and locks in.

BTW I used the Reefledlights Phoenix 45 kit with a Apex. It lights my tank perfectly.

You finally broke down and switched to the dark side! :lmao: So, what's the led array? Just RB and CW? Did you make the light stand, or Rick sell those too? It's good to see 2 fans on that light. Looks really nice! Well done.

Just like all the corals I see in your tank, the actual build of your tank is top notch, as always. :thumbsup:

Thanks Dave, the kit came with this.

15 Cree Premium Cool White XP-G R5 LEDs 7-7.5K (Driven @ 700mA)
24 Cree Premium Royal Blue XT-E LEDs Bin D36/7 (Driven @ 700mA)
6 Cree Premium Blue XP-E LEDs (Driven @ 700mA)

I made the stand and will be building a canopy to match the stand soon.

So I finally broke down and whipped together a canopy yesterday...
