I just emailed Neptune support and asked them about the cable. Hopefully I'll hear something by tomorrow.

Apex doesn't directly provide the cable or support for it, but you can get it online and it will work. Or if you want you can make it yourself by using CAT5 cable and 2 USB A ends.

This is going to be a fun weekend. Finally decided to start on the stand for the 220g. I plan on making a twin stand that matches the stands for my cubes.

 

[brick-brothers]

Started wood cutting and screwing. I have the top base completed.

 

[brick-brothers]

So I'm about 90% done with the frame. Im debating should I go with 1 or 2 center beams to support the top. What yall think??

 

[Weicowireman]

Do you have enough clearance to fit the tank on top of the stand and reach in and do what you have to do?

 

[brick-brothers]

I actually do have enough space. The stand is going to be the same ht as my 2 60g stands. And the ht of the 220 is about the same as the 60's. I still have to stand on a step latter to go in and out though. Lol

 

[Weicowireman]

Any updates?

Any updates?

Between work and family, the build has slowed down a bit. But this is where I left off at. The stand is actually longer than the tank. I plan to put my custom king frag right be side it and plumb both tanks together.

 

[Weicowireman]

Coming along nicely. Keep us updates.

 

[brick-brothers]

I had put in a hr or 2 last night on the stand. Im glad I saved my paint from the last stand I built. Tonight I'm going to put up the side panels and hopefully have time to do the front before my pillow starts to call me

Go with 2 bro rather be safe than sorry.. Good luck on the built. .

REEFER FOR LIFE!!

 

[Clink51]

this looks pretty sick. i would have said go with 2 also. did you skin the tank yourself? if so, what did you use to skin?

 

[Clink51]

Thanks brother. I have a cousin that barely pays me rent so him helping me out from time to time covers the help I need, lol. What do you mean by did I skin the tank?

 

[brick-brothers]

I'm going to work on this stand the whole day today and hopefully I should be done by tonight. I ready to start the plumbing process so I can get this thing up and running and dont have to her the wife mouth about taking over her livingroom, lol
