140g peninsula build...TANK IS GONE!!!
Looks great. I love 80/20 as light racks. You definitely overbuilt it lol that rack will never fail!I will see what I can do to rig up my sterilizer. That information is a good starting point.
Here are picture of my light rack. There are before and after pictures. Excuse the wires as I have not had time to clean them up. I originally tried the Kessil arms as I had them. But discovered the weight of my Aquatic Life Hybrid Fixture caused the Kessil arms to deflect. So now I have the 80/20 light rack. Definitely should have done this sooner. Have the Kessil arms available if anyone is interested.
here is my getto UV bracket. I had to find a bolt big enough but still be short. Ended up using two bolts. It shouldn’t go anywhere.I will see what I can do to rig up my sterilizer. That information is a good starting point.

Thanks for the pictures. I have similar brackets. Will work to see what I can figure out. The pictures give me a head start.
I knew I overbuilt the light rack . Got a little carried away with it. One last thing to worry about failing.
Well, I posted the tank up for sale in a local forum as a joke for $9000. Someone contacted me interested in the tank. Kind of use to people saying they want it but he drove 1.5hrs to see it on Thursday and on Saturday he showed up with a uhaul and $8500. So, the tank is gone to a new home. Sad to see it go but everything has its price.
I went with him on Saturday and helped him set it up. He’s keeping it all together as is. One reason I sold it to him. It was a package deal: tank setup, phyto station and mixing station. So, I’m out of the hobby for now. First time in over 20 years I have not had a tank.

That's amazing. Glad you got it sold if that is what you wanted.
Are you going to set up a new tank? I need you to have another tank to steal ideas from. Your tank was an inspiration for ideas and what a tank can be to me and I am sure others

An amazing journey for that tank. It's always nice to have things go to a good home, right?
