Since you have a black background, do you have to clean it like you would the other clear sides?

I do but that may just be because I am neurotic. I was actually also trying to scrape the overflow for a while but eventually just gave up

Another question

What are you using for moonlighting?

Rembee · 08/11/2008, 06:34 PM

Will, that is one gorgeous tank and I really love your stand and canopy. If I may ask, where did you get the doors for your stand? Did you make them too? If you did build them what are they made from? I am getting ready to build my stand and am looking for idea's. Thanks for sharing your build and all the details of your thread.

I stopped by a different one a little further away and they had a lot more stuff. They had maple boards (the others only had pine, poplar and oak) and 2 x stock in all species (that's cool!). Look around.

That's cool that some have maple. Thanks for the tips. Went over to Rockler.com, a woodworking website and looked at routers, tables, etc. If I keep buying woodworking tools my tank will never get set up, lol.

Really cool pictures, keep'em coming. I hope I can get colors like that. BTW, you might see a build thread with a stand strikingly similar to yours in the near future, hope you don't mind.

Oops. I left that part out. Thanks for reminding me.

I used these
http://www.coralreefsupply.com/index...uarium=moon_r2

I didn't order from here but the link from marine depot doesnt work. There is a dual kit that has 2 lights. I went with these because they were the only ones that would fit on my light tray. I had to make some brackets for them. Don't have a real good pic of it but you can see them in the vortech video I am about to post. Think you can see them when I open the canopy.

This is the only pic I have of them

Rockler Rules! Love that site.

I would love to see your build thread. Make sure you let us know. I wouldn't mind in the least since my design was based on another members build thread too!

No problem. In case you decide to order your doors, I got mine from here

http://www.scherrs.com/

Custom doors are a bit $$$ but these guys are really good. Great service.

Good luck!

Here's a short video I made of the waves you can generate with vortechs. The upload downsized the video and looks pretty bad. I was trying to show the polyp movement on the sps corals but you can't even make it out here. Sorry. Hopefully you get the idea.
