Spazdic's 105 Rimless Neo Build

spazdic · 01/06/2015, 01:15 PM

Okay everyone so this is my first build thread. However not my first build. I currently have a 150 gallon tall FOWLR. I am downgrading a little bit. I am going to a Deep Sea Aquatics 105 Rimless Neo. The glass box dimensions are 48x24x21.

I am making the move throughout this week.

First though let me show you what I have been up to... in chronological order.

So im getting a few new things for this tank lets list them below...

1. 2 x Aquamana COB Full Spectrum Led Lights

2. Two Little Fish Media Reactors: 150ml and 550ml
3. Maxspect Gyre 150 50 Watt

4. Custom Build Stand 60x24

The Stuff I am keeping from my old tank...

Aqueon Pro 3 Sump
Reef Keeper Lite Controller
C-Skim 1800

So the Custom Stand. I'm modding a 60x24 from Lowes... Here are some pics so far and I will post some more tonight.

Double Stacked 1 Inch plywood for the top and reinforced throughout with 2x4s.

First coat of stain... I am also going to add trim and tile the edges once the tank is in place.

Hopefully some of you will tag along on this build im excited...

I pick up the Glass Box tomorrow...

any reason on the COB lights instead of the black box ones?

Subbed! Looking into getting the same tank from Planet Aquariums. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

From having metal halides to LEDs I can tell you the LEDs like the cob and kessils have a great shimmer effect bc the light comes from a single source and at 109 on Amazon it's hard to beat with free 2 day shipping

Yeah planet aquarium was sold out at my local dealer but they're both great tanks I think you'll like it picking mine up in a few hours
