150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start

Congrats Coy! Building a stand and hood I find to be quite fun. Also you get exactly everything you want out of it. Now are you going to attempt to copy the stand from aquaglass (I think thats the one from our LFS) or are you going completly off on another tanget and going to make yours from the ground up?

Thanks Matt.

I plan on using the hinge setup on the canopy as a pattern; the rest we will build from the ground up. May even try and match it to the trim, etc in our house.
 
Very nice. For a tank that size you need the hinge ability. I built mine with that and I have to say, it is a godsend.
 
Hey Volt, did you ever get word if thhose Hagen T5 GLO lights were discontinued? I really appreciate you making the inquiry.


I posted a thread over on MFK and apparently Hagen is having trouble selling them.

I will see if I can find out more from the LFS where I used to work.

I suspect the reason Hagen is having trouble is that the units do not have an on/off switch on them.

that turns a lot of people off (including myself when they first came out)

I like the ease of an on/off switch. I think they should have waited and incorporated a switch first before launching the product line.
 
I am curious to see this progress.

my big tank and tank room has been put on hold for now:mad2:
