stings new 120

[jhale]

where did the overflow end up?
is the top not braced?

 

[stingnyc]

they put the overflow left center and they didnt euro brace it...

 

[spykes]

oh wow! i would be bitching if i was steve. steve is more patient then me heh

 

[cali_reef]

Bummer, why can't these tank makers built quality at good price? What are you going to do?

Is the dimension okay for the already built stand?

 

[jhale]

I would not care about the overflow as much as the bracing.
Did they say if the tank was strong enough without the top bracing?
That's the only thing I would care about. Was the tank supposed to have bracing on top? I know when I ordered mine I told him to make it as strong as they could,
I don't remember if I specified top bracing.

Looking good Steve..When ya think its gonna be up and running?

 

[stingnyc]

Kris,

Hopefully the tank will be up and running next weekend!!! We need to finish the stand and plumbing, then the water test begins... I think the
hardest part will be transferring the livestock.

Are you going bare bottom? I think 3 streams are alot for a 4 foot tank.Just my experience.I have a 6100 in my 110 and I have to crank it down alot.Setup looks good and you should be fine with the two t-5`s I have those with two 400 mh and it looks fine.Good luck....

 

[stingnyc]

tim,

as spykes would say "flow baby flow". i'm going to try the 3 streams and see if its too much. i'd rather have more then less at this point. i was thinking of adding the 2 vho's for color. maybe i'll switch to 14k's.
