Thank you, h.cordero! The wood is mahogany. There are 12 canons. I don't plan to run true night lights, but for early morning and evening I will dim the lights down to low output.

Only for knowledge mahogany wood (Swietenia macrophylla) is a vulnerable wood to go extinct banned by CITIES agreement!
 
great work! how about a little look into the home theater portion of this build! Are you doing a thread on avsforum?

I wonder how the fish are gonna feel when the subs are hitting in the high teen frequencies, I know my windows don't appreciate it with just a single svs pb12nsd I could only imagine what you got going on in there, please say paradigm signatures so I can really get jealous

Excellent point, h.codero. I should have clarified that the wood is southeast asian mahogany, which is a different species from the endangered south american mahogany. You can see in the photos that the grain is not as uniform as a true mahogany, but the tradeoff is worth it to use sustainable material.

Thanks, S14Swap240sx! I need to create an avsforum thread as there is a lot of interesting stuff in the media space. I won't derail this thread with a ton of off topic stuff, but the quick highlights on the media are: Dennis Erskine design and build with extensive acoustical treatments including a 25' x 32' x 18" bass trap; 21,000 watts of Procella with bass provided by four 18's, three 15's, and two 10" subs; 12' Starglas rear projection screen with 4 way masking; 25,000 lumen 4K 60Hz Display Development projector. End result is ability to deliver 132 dB from 16Hz on up, and a brighter-than-plasma image that looks great even with all blinds open on a sunny day. Most amazing to me, subjective black levels are comparable to the 8G Kuro, not something I expected to be possible with a high output 3-chip DLP.

Bottom line, the fish will need to put up with some occasional rumbling :-). Our previous tank shared the room with a 110 dB audio system and the fish never reacted. I'm hoping that will be the case here as well.

Lol another troll build thread.

What does this even mean? A thread to troll on? The build itself has been verified by many locals, including Timfish who posts here and helped with initial aquascaping. The only trolling I've seen so far, and I avidly follow this thread, is you.
 
Paul,

Looks like everything is coming along very well. I like the aquascaping a lot. Will you keep it this open or add more to it?

regards,
Roni
 
You know your tank is serious when your dosing containers are 30 gallons each...
