finally got my new hood and light setup over the 150 been working hard on that and the stand for the 225 which is also finished will try to get some pics up. I have so much control now over the color of the tank and it looks totally different better and crisper i think. can control 5 colors independently
#1 is un led
#2 is royal blue
#3 is red green and blue
#4 is cool white
#5 is the 4 t5’s running two blue plus and two actinics.
Nice. Bet your wife is happy now too - lol.
Can’t wait to see some pics.
Lol, they make un led bulbs in the #1? Just kidding. I know you ment UV bulbs. Can’t wait to see the pics as well.
What haven’t heard of un LEDs? That’s new age technology lol
heres the hood
the 210
the 75g sump
still temporary setup and have a lot of work to do I am going to drill it and pipe everything in I’m just scared to drill It’s easy to drill glass just not sure if its tempered, I don’t think it is but still that eerie feeling. Thanks to Casey for the inspiration and ideas of the stand and sump I copied his setup bigtime :

That is nice on both of the setup Tim. I figured you would plumb the 210 to the basement as well. Bigger tank (as far as from what I read) are not tempered, some 55g and below are. When my tank broke at the bottom, it didn’t shattered like it was tempered, it just crack like a regular glass. Also, easier to drill thicker glass then thin ones by the way. BTW I’m sure Casey don’t mind you copying off of him.
thanks A! Just need days in a row off to start probably drill next friday. still nervous. I am only drilling one long side anyway Im 90% sure its regular glass. The coral tank lights are nice so many different looks throughout the day. just hope they keep color and last
I will eventually pipe them together but for now it’ll have a sump
It all looks amazing tim. You did a fantastic job. I def don’t mind the copy. Copy all you like brother.
Looks great!!
Nice looking new build, Tim. and your entry hall tank is looking super good. lots of nice color.
Thanks everyone. It was a lot of work but happy with the results. Looks better in person still need some better camera skills lol
You need all the skills you can get
