DIY light canopy and T5 setup

[killfire]

Some pics of the canopy sitting on top of the tank...

The table the tank is on and the stand for the chiller at the side of the tank is also home made...

With lights on... all 8 of them...

The tank with the T5 seems to look much brighter than my main tank which is powered by 1x250W radium and 1x250W BLV20KK. It may be due to the reflection of light from the base of the 2' tank since it is empty at the moment.

hey dude, ever tot of using those reflective material for ur base like those in RC did? den can avoid STN over time due to insufficient lighting?

i might be wrong about this tank being sps but e lighting says it should be. hehe.

chiller also DIY?? u are good man...

creetin: I did not add any reflective material to the bottom of the tank... going to place LRs inside. I am using the 2' as a holding tank to grow out my sps frags and some smaller colonies...

Robin: The chiller is a Pac cool 0.75HP... only the stand for it is home made..

So that what you have been busy with the pass few days.

Very nice work (as usual), I think you are getting addicted to DIY liao.

Maybe should get you to do up a new higher cabinet for me. You know what I want right?

Sorry to dig up this thread.

I'm currently looking to make a "fake" cabinet to hide my equipments that came out of my tank's cabinet (main culprit -Beckett skimmer!). Thus saw that you have this nice Plywood construction in veneer finished. Can pm me where u get them?

Thanks
