Nice! Did you just saw it in half and add hinges?

 

[lnevo]

Hinges were already there. But yeah. I attached the detached section to the hinged lid that was already there.

Nice job! You are an inspiration. Now I need to do the same to mine. lol

 

[lnevo]

Yes, yes you do! So worth it. I was able to pull out my lights without having to take down my canopy. I wiped them down and cleared the dust from the fans just cause I could. Even feeding is soo much easier now.

So this has been a busy week. I hacked my ebay d120 and boy is it not the best thing I ever did! They are hooked to my reef angel and i set them up to do a parabola curve up to 60% for blue and 40% whites. I'm probably going to lower it a bit, but it's nice to have a more natural lighting cycle. I feel like i'm not cooking everything all day. Anyway the corals are looking great. I also setup my pumps to alternate in constant mode switching every 6 hours. Trying to use momentum to maximize flow and it seems to be working so far. Anyway here's an awesome side shot taken by the webcam.

[lnevo]

Yes it is

I finally re-aqua scaped a bit today. It came out awesome. I broke apart my bleached macrophthalmia today. It just took up too much space. I will be putting up a thread soon. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to keeping my hands out of the tank and watching this thing take off.

looks like you have to refill your ato! it's at 25%!

 

[lnevo]

That'll last another 2 days haha thanks man. Next job is to get that rack outta there and finish up my auto water change stuff and let this thing get on autopilot
