Grins' 55g Reef

[ricsreef]

Doing a fantastic job,It's coming together really nicely,You and your son must be very proud to putting such a nice system together,and the time you get to spend with him is another perk.They grow up so fast.Young men do like to run around alot on their leisure time!! I know I did in my younger years.LOL.
Looks like you both are staying devoted to the project,cant wait to see it when it's done.

Lookin good, Grins!

I'm about to start on a metal halide canopy shortly myself.

How did you power your fans?

 

[Grins]

Bought a 12v universial adapter from Radio Shack and he hardwired them to that. He then set them to come on at the same time as the MHs. When the sump is back up I'll probably buy a clip on fan for that.

One of my LFS is having a 30% off sale on corals this month and with only one more day of the sale I thought I'd take a peek. Not only did I pick up an open brain I've wanted for some time now but they gave me another 25% off....lol So I walked out with this beauty tonight for about $25. It is still in the bag and stressed so the colors although faded will show you how vivid the purple and greens are on it. Where it looks brown now is actually a lighter shade of green.

Good deal! Can't wait to see it opened up!

I wish the colors weren't so washed out in the photo. This thing looks like a neon sign. I need to change my 10,000K bulbs to 14,000 to bring out the flourscents.

Out of the bag and on the sand (ignore the issue I'm having with limited flow right now) and you can already see it's truer colors better:
