Hey John I guess you were lucky to get your tank. I gotten a phonecall from John the owner last night. They went OUT OF BUSINESS !!!! Im out my money and tank

Wow nick... I'm really sorry to hear that. I had no clue the company was doing poorly. What are you going to do now?

:bump:

 

[latino277]

thx for the bump dean.... still haven't finished the canopy.... All that is needed is the ventalation (still not sure how I want to do it),trimming and stain/finish.

sup man just checking out your thread i like the crown you put on your tank , you did a great job as far as the vent , what i did with mine was took the fans and vents off a coralife fixture and and installed them on the back of my tank and they turn on when my halides turn on

 

[steveo32]

So did you vent, stain, trim and finish the canopy ? Hows this tank doing I think we all would like a FTS update. Or are you guys playing in the woods too much LOL. Hopefully I can join you guys on the 20 th.

 

[latino277]

I still have not finished the canopy... I've been lazy!!!!

I actually took a window fan apart and am going to use those for cooling... It'll be like a wind tunel in there :lol2: I'm hoping to have it on the tank by next weekend... All it needs it for me to fill the hole with puddy and then stain the outside and paint the inside.... I'll post some pix this weekend.

 

[latino277]

So last weekend i was about to finish up the canopy and decided to put the canopy on just to see how it looks..... and I hate it!!!

 

[Eznet2u]

Sorry, but I'm not liking it much either. The crown molding is making it look too tall. Remove it and try some scroll work in the middle. That should bring the perception of height down a little.

Something like this...

I know Lowe's has them...

 

[latino277]

yeah... I'm about to toss it off the balcony

 

[jhale]

don't hit your car

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

jhale is good with wood working he should look at it for you. Maybe he can help you out.

 

[latino277]

thx chief.... I spoke to Jon already and he gave me a few idea's.... if I don't get called in to work this weekend I'll give them a try....

BTW thx Jon for letting me pick you noodle! :smile:

John, honestly that canopy takes away the beauty it already had. Some tanks look great with a canopy, if it was a rectangler shape tank up againist the wall. But, this 100 square a cubic look in the middle of your livingroom looked amazing without the wood! My thoughts friend....

 

[latino277]

Hey Johnny,

I'm going to make some changes and see how it looks... if I still don't like it.... I may get something like this:

or

but that's going to have to wait until bonus time....

[nycmat]

[BZOFIQ]

looking good so far. I love cube tanks especially those big ones like your or bigger. I currently have 4 freshwater cubes (soon up for sale). They are all 24x20 footprint with 30, 25, 20 and 15" height respectively.
