The build process is my favorite. I am planning to upgrade to a 120 this year myself. Hopefully I will keep it for awhile. Tagging along!

Thanks for stopping in. Be sure to start a build thread once you start your 120.

Good luck with the the new build, I love those Tech tanks. Sounds like an awesome set up.

Here is where my light build started, with a hydrophonics eight bulb light, ugly plain and white.

Knowing I was just going to cut it apart and paint it I wasn't overly worried about how it looked.

Step one was removing the reflector and seeing what was underneath it. Luckily for me there wasn't much of anything so from there I started measuring where I was going to place the Radions and the fan.

Thanks. I hope my corals agree. It's not complete yet but it's getting close.

Cutting and drilling holes.

Going from one eight bulb reflector to two two bulb reflectors. Just cut out the middle four.

Good idea on the light, I thought about doing something similar over my frag tank

Just hope it grows acros! I've ran T5, T5/MH but never LED/T5 so it's new to me.

I think you'll be fine with that combo

bknapp · May 11, 2016

I'm hoping so.

Couldn't deal with the white of the fixture, wouldn't work for me. So luckily I paint cars for a living so this step was easy enough. First had to paint the inside.
