Hi reefers 
,
After having my 20G DIY nano for 3.5 years , it's time to move up .
I barrely can put my hands in my nano anymore , due to sps colonies that are expanding :spin1:
This is a picture of august so corals are even bigger.
This was the first picture with LED lighting with the whites at 100 % i now tend to set them at 80 % for the whites and royal bleus at 100 % to get the an + 15000 °K look.
The LED's where already a test for the bigger tank , i like them and in gonna incorperate them in my new tank as well .
Probably 1 radion ecomarines combined with the 60 watt fixture a have now and also 4X 39 watt t5 , but more later on this ....
desired new tank specs :
154 G display + 35 G sump
skimmer : bubble king mini 200 or BK super marine 200
return : red dragon 6500 v08
circulation : 2 X MP 40 eco marine
filtration : N/P biopellets fed by primary drain from display,
GAC & carbon reactor bubble magnus fed by return pump
and 50 micron filtersok fed by secondary drain from display
lighting : 1 radion LED ecomarine 130 W + 60 watt xp-g / xp-e led's + 4X39 t5
1) making the frame for stand
-The first thing a did was buying me square tube 2" x 2" , i even had to cut the angles myself , with an 9" handgrinder :headwally:
Then i spot welded the upper framework measuring 50" x 25 "
when everything is spotwelded it's time to weld (i arc welded it :bum: ) the "heads" and "backs" of the corners , quickly changing from the head of corner to the back of that same corner to reduce shrinking/ bending effects
