Upgraded my 72g FOWLR - pics

[EmilyB]

Moved to a 120g...first steps

Some local reefers helped out

 

[humu]

looks awesome! what kind of pendant is that? can you explain how you hang it and what lighting is used? thanks!

 

[EmilyB]

Thankyou, I think it is a hamilton, we bought it used. Two 175w MH (currently Ushio 10kk) and two NO actinic. It's downstairs, so we have access thru the t-bar ceiling to hang it.

Looks good Em, I don't see Mitch helping. Did you pick that stand up when you were at your sisters??

So nice of you to drop by Steve... :roll:

Who is Mitch ?

 

[danmhippo]

Mitch, the one that leaves your door wide open?

Em, Nice tank! I liked the all glass tanks myself. Can't stand looking at the ugly trims after installing the 150G that I currently have. So what now, more $$$$ into LR and sand? And what's that pathetic looking canister doing there?

So which one is the dork gave you a turtle neck in the middle of the summer?

 

[EmilyB]

The sump is not ready yet, therefore the 'pathetic little canister' and all of the other hideous equipment :roll: is just there for your pleasurable viewing.....

That Mitch guy is trying to decide between suits right now..... :?

The turtleneck giver was busy cooking dinner........ :lol:

It looks like the right side of the tank is not supported??

Is that an optical illusion?

 

[EmilyB]

No, you are correct. There is an overhang because of the overflow. The stand is constructed of engineered wood, and the tank glass is 1/2". Do you believe this could be a problem ?

Oh, and there is a sheet of 3/4" plywood under it as well..(you've got me worried now...)

Don't worry. I think the 'rule of thumb' is that as long as you've got a piece of styrofoam to help support it, then you can cantilever 3/4's of the tank.
