Matt's 225g Custom Build - Page 5

mattr777 · 08/13/2015, 01:44 PM

I got my RapidLed refugium kit. Sick of looking at the ugly Home Depot light on my current set up so I wanted something a little nicer. I cut a piece of aluminum and painted it for the bracket. Then mounted the LEDs to individual heatsinks and in turn mounted those to the aluminum. Working on a hanging kit for it now.

You have great attention to detail. Your tank looks like it's going to be epic. Congratulations on having the patience and care to do it right.

Thanks. The patient part has not been an easy task. Lol

How's it going Matt? It's been a while since the last update. Would love to see how the tank is doing.

Just finally had the stand built and finished today. Made out of maple with apple cocoa finish and quartz countertops. Turned out even better than I could have imagined.
