Yes it does have copper, but that does not affect the water because it does not make contact with the water in any way.

Looks good. You could just get a shop light and put normal output actinic lights in there to get your blue color on your white panel. I don't think your stand warping was anything personal that you did, everyone knows the Aquarium gods are Saints fans, so they punished you for the eagles gear in the tank viewing area.

nick, ha, ha.

I might try just regular shop lights like you said & use actinics to save $.

Great job!! Very inspiring.

 

[Aaarrrggg]

I just found this thread... Thanks for posting such a great story! As someone else said a yr ago, its amazing to watch it transform in front of your eyes! More pics please!

Yeah, its amazing how many times a shoplight can come in handy within the aquarium enviroment, and they are cheap.

Oh, and I will be pulling for the Eagles on Monday, well atleast pulling against the cowboys.

I still see the treated lumber. What did you do to counter the warping?

very nice.
I love having my tank next to the TV. I miss a lot of the movie but oh well.

When can we come over!

Looking very nice. I missed some of the progress in the middle, but caught up this morning!

cbeitel, I placed a few shims under the tank. Luckily the Oceanic's are built strong & I don't think it will be an issue. It's been almost 2 years & it is fine.

Wow man, you seriously need to knock on some wood after that statement!

Any updates?

 

[Briankook]

Not really. I purchased a handful of SPS frags and I finally think I will have success with them.

I have to say it why didn't you listen to that guy way back on the first response when u could changed it but everything else looks good. It would be cool to see an updated full tank shot. I like the new equipment good purchases.

 

[Briankook]

tcmfish, yeah, I know. You live and learn .
