New tank with LED light

[rodneyri]

How about some new pics Rodney...been a month since the last batch. I bet you got some cool new acros in that tank...

Not much new, a new tank is being built as we speak a nice 7ft long one to replace this one :beer:

Wow 7ft! Will you be buying another lighting system to light such a beast, or will you add a Mitras or two on the ends of the ATI?

 

[rodneyri]

I'll run a 5ft ati hybrid and have some nice space around the scape to give an open look to the tank.

 

[Moser]

and then buy another 2ft one, when you run out of space again"¦. :thumbsup:

[rodneyri]

why do we always seem to run out of space hey!

ill probably grow zoa rocks on the less lit areas, ideally like to stick with one fixture just cause it looks good...but if i had to then yeah another hybrid

 

[rodneyri]

Bits and pieces are arriving for the new tank, 7'x 2.5'x 1.5' :thumbsup:

Base rock with lots of aquaknead, superglue and cable ties

Looking forward to this. Are you keeping the same lights or do you feel like changing to something different?

I have a giesemann matrixx II dimtec on its way. The ATI was too short and not a fan of having two lights over the tank.

That's a very nice looking unit. Look forward to seeing pics of it.

I am considering a switch to T5 for the summer months and have an 82"x 32" tank. I also assumed I would have to go with two 36" fixtures. How long is the Giesemann? Isn't it the same length as the ATI 80W LED Powermodule?

Is it 1550mm dimtec?

 

[rodneyri]

Yup its 1550 8x80w. My hybrid is the 54w so not long enough

Long enough for. 84" tank?

 

[rodneyri]

Not long enough but the scape idea is to be centred with open space on the edges

Scape is basically what I have now with some extra bits to fill up some space

One of my fav parts of the hobby is making aquascapes...here is some hints as to where this one is going creating some nice overhangs :thumbsup:

 

[rodneyri]

Glass arrived. Nice one piece euro

 

[sahin]

Wow, this is going to be a sweet tank. :beer:

 

[rodneyri]

Lots of gluing to hold this monster together..it's actually 4ft long! This is the first part of the scape for the new tank

Almost done, just not sure ill keep the rock cable tied at the front just yet
