As promised here come some more pictures
Sump change:
I decided to remove my white painted bottom of the sump and replace it with a blue bottom and I absolutely love the blue, and the splash of color it brings to the inside of the stand
Here it is with skimmer inside , I was trying to match the Tunze Blue.
So from here I decide to start trying to get all the plumbing figures out .. here is the rough lay out of my ideas with all the fitting and pipe in place . I used 1 in Sch. 80 pipe with white Sch. 40 fittings. I also decided to paint my Gate Valves and ball valve blue to match the rest of the blue color theme .
Plumbing layout and set up :
From here it was time to add some air circulation to the inside of my stand by using 120mm computer fans x 2 and of course in blue to go with the rest of the blue theme.
Then when the stand has no light on :
Final touches soon to come let me all know what you all think please
I really like that blue theme! That's a lot of work painting ball valve handles, lol.
Coming along nicely! I never thought about painting my sump walls...i like that! Awesome frag tank...i hope to get one going some day.
Just cruising through your build. I love that you are rolling up your sleeves and doing a ton of work here to achieve what looks like a well thought out custom build. Congrats on the baby. I had two and it set my tank build back about 17 years
Im glad to see it coming along nicely! You've inspired me to get back to updating my build thread!
Hmmm...could it be an Apex coming?
That is a sweet looking delivery! I love it. I might have changed my lighting plans if I had considered this unit. I personally would go Kessil. I run a 360 and I can't say enough good things about the shimmer it provides. Would do well with the T5. Initially I had some issues growing SPS but I attribute this mostly to the fact that I run a single unit over a 40 cube. Of course since I have been ignoring my tank for my new build, the corals have been growing like crazy including some SPS. Good luck - I don't think there is a bad decision to be made based on the lights you are considering.
To hang ur lights I recomend gas pipe from Home Depot u should clear coat them first so no metal gets in the tank but after that they look amazing
