CANT WAIT!!

one question, are all of the pipes inside of the tank, or from the back?

 

[d2mini]

Inside.
It's a corner overflow that will house a full siphon drain, an emergency drain, a return, a dry pipe for wiring, and a "dry dock" that will house two Vortech MP40w's.

Amazing. I will have to try that when I upgrade.

Here's the 8 channel version and if you look down you'll see the link to the 4 channel version i have. Note that the 8 channel is thinner (but probably deeper) and you plug into the back of it rather than the top if it like on mine.

With all the equipment a reef tank needs its not easy to preserve all of the aesthetics of a display tank but so far you have.

 

[Solarfall]

That is the most ballin' house I've ever seen.

I wish I had your sense of aesthetic :(

 

[d2mini]

Got my light installed yesterday. Took all freakin afternoon but I think it turned out well. :)
This sucker is HEAVY!

 

[parrotchute]

Looks great, what's the hardware you used to mount it?

 

[dreamwalk]

this build never stops amazing me....

 

[Bifferwine]

Dennis how many watts is your light again (and how many bulbs and what type of bulbs)? That's a really snazzy looking light. I like it.

 

[wontonflip]

Nice! Where are those wires going? Up through the ceiling? Hope they won't be just hanging down. Hard to hide it.

 

[bjohanson1234]

Looks like he doesnt have much of a choice. I dont think he could get up there to put an outlet box in his vaulted ceiling to easily.

But that light looks real sharp:Cheers:
