Mr_X's Tank

[dnorton1978]

SORRY TO HEAR THAT X.

As for you guys crashing sounds fun. I will stock up on the beer.

 

[mr_X]

we'll bring the drill bit :twisted:

 

[mr_X]

i still have to create a better flow system. and i need fixture to house my lights. there is still a heat problem which a glass shielded (hamilton or something like that) fixture will correct.
plus i still need a small cabinet underneath to hold all my stuff/wires/ballasts.

 

[mr_X]

i hung my lights with a DIY brace thingy which came out pretty good, and implemented my 75 gallon tank as a sump. i used cutting boards from walmart for baffles, since this was the cheapest semi-rigid plastic sheeting i could find. (10 dollars a piece for the cutting boards- i needed 3)
the angle iron was given to me by shavo, so it was free, but it's affordable (lowes/home depot)

 

[mr_X]

all i need now is to hide those wires with something. :?

 

[cyro]

could cover the buttom part :wink:

personally, i would make three boards ( front and 2 sides ) out of a suitable wood that matches the furniture, fix standard DIY magnets onto them and mount em..That way, each panel can be removed independantly, with ease and so cheap to do and i think it would just finish the tank off nicely..How-ever, i do know that you like to have your fuge open for the eyes to see..But, once the panels are made, its your choice then..have the front on or off..

Just an idea

[mr_X]

i was thinking of maybe using a curtain. a panel might be cool too. hmm

 

[atnixon]

A curtain is a crackin idea mate..Either way, am sure it will look really good..

Nice Setup Mr.x
Do you need to put the heat on or does your tank keep the your place warm. lol

 

[mr_X]
