I know a guy who might want an inferno at some point Tank is looking good, Ben! I'll be following along as you transition back to SPS. I still remember seeing that beauty in person. One of my favorite tanks ever!

I still can’t believe that you didn’t want to stay for dinner, some Duchxas was on the menu that day, a mix of Dutch and Texas food.
Still remember that I was eating alone that night as my whole family bailed out :mad: even the dogs

LOL I'd have loved to, but that drive was brutal!

Let's make it happen one day though!

Now what to do with all these rare LPS and softies!!
Not to mention the nems that are called Infernos ;Spiderman
My LFS will be happy as most of this stuff is all indo corals.

I'll be willing to buy some low off you as you are very close to me and I visited you before

Diesel · Aug 10, 2018

Everybody is willing to buy stuff low of me.
Indo corals are a hot item nowadays.
You can find the corals by Spectra Corals soon.

Thanks

How did you hang your ATI Fixture?

Doesn't look like you used the hanging kit?

Diesel · Aug 11, 2018

No I didn’t.
I’m super handy and it’s a free floating aluminum 80/20 frame.

bozo · Aug 11, 2018

Do you have any photos of how you did it?

I'm also handy just not creative lol

Thanks

Diesel · Aug 11, 2018

Should be in this thread somewhere at the beginning.

Got it.

Looks like you used the same 80/20 frame from when you had LEDs.

I'm assuming you drilled 4 holes into the ATI and bolted 4 screws into the 80/20 frame?

Thanks for the convo

Slightly modified but yes the carrying weight was off the main 80/20’s.
The ATI hybrid I had was the largest on the books and put out I believe 100lb include the bulbs.

Perfect thanks for answering my questions!

Last one. Did you drill holes in the middle of the fixture?

I have a 60 in ati with 60 in reef Brites on both sides and I think it would be better to also bolt the middle of the fixture and also the 4 corners of the fixture.

Thanks again!

Nope, didn’t drill any holes.
The fixture has some kind a structural frame that it hangs on, if you drill a hole in the skin around it you run the chance to put a pulling weight on the fixture where it could damage it.
