The Reef Central Corner Club Thread

Anyone know for sure the thickness of the side panels in a 54 corner?

I don't have good access to my back corner to get a good measurement.
I'm thinking it's 3/8" thick glass, but I want to make sure. Might get a MP40 for flow, and need to know if it will fit in my 2.75" of space between the tank and wall.

I have access to my 54 tank. I can post measurments tonight. How do I measure it. Perhaps its best to google manufacture, they must have it.

I googled it, and nothing came up. One person said 5/8", but that is way too thick.
I'm going to look tonight when I get home and see if I can measure, but it's tight in the corner.

Where the 2 side pieces come together in the back, you should see a raw edge on one of them. That will be the best measurement spot.
 
Anyone using a Radion over a 54 corner?

Always looking at upgrades, and lighting is on my short list.

I'm not sure a single Radion (gen 2 or 3) would completely cover the area, I would put the 120 lens kit on it for sure. I could mount it about 8-9" off the surface, that's the max inside my canopy.
 
My setup is the following (wil soon be)
9:00 am 1 royal blue+
9:30am 1 20000k
10:00 am 2 royal blue
10:30 am 7 20000k
8:00pm. 7 20000k off
9:30pm. 2 royal blue off
10:00:pm 1 20000k off
10:30pm. 1 royal blue off

There are All led 10w

Checked on glass last night. I have a black plastic trim reinforcing my entire tank at all edges except the front bow. What I can see this measures at a 3/16" edge.
 
I searched this thread, and didn't see anyone actually using a Radion on a corner tank.
I'm tempted by a Gen 2 Pro Radion, I can put the 120 optics on it, and mount it about 8-9" off the water. It will cover the entire tank, and I hear the controller is top notch on it.

It's either that, or I'm thinking about a Reefbreeder Photon 24. But the controller is a lot less refined, with less features.
 
Decided on the G2 Radion Pro with the wide angle lens.
Should be here later this week............woohoo, new toys.

MP40 coming after that
 
Radion gen 2 Pro is installed and amazing...........what a huge improvement, and the corals seem much happier too.

Now I need to decide on the pump.......MP40 in a corner tank.......anyone doing it?
 
Looking to join corner club, what does everyone recommend. 54 AGA drilled or 66 Aquavim? How do the aquavim dumps compared to k e you can put under a 54 stand?
 
Interested in 54 corner, no one makes pre-built canopies? All custom? Let me see your canopies,

I have a 24" 120 Watt led to house, will it work?
 
Yes, a 24" led will fit fine. I was going to go with a Photon 24, and it would have fit perfect. But I went with a Radion Pro instead.

Here is a picture of my full setup, right after I got it all put together.
