Our 65 Gallon Shallow Tank Build

Looks nice! Ya that Beefy guy is something else for sure! Maybe one day you will run into the Beefpuffer!
 
Looks nice. Only thing I'd consider would be painting those PVC pipes. I believe you can use Krylon Fusion spray paint from ACE hardware to paint them black (and its reef safe) and then they would blend in perfectly.
 
SOOOO, i took a Left turn here... maybe right... idk

something was just bugging me.... and sunday night i made a purchase..

a purchase for what you ask?..

i have decided to retire my current LeD setup, and i am now attempting Metal Halide for the first time since ive been in the hobby, it maye be overkill for my shallow tank but i got 2 250w MH's :P Galaxy Ballast, it just arrived today and i just finished hooking it up =] so far im content with it
