For sure. I was looking at Octo Aquatics lids and got sidetracked. I want it to be clean but yours don't look bad at all honestly.
Whats the dimensions on your upgrade tank?

Octo is the one I keep coming back to as well. I'm going 36"x24"x22" Limited space and I really wanted the depth.

I got a quote from Matt @ Octo, he's made me a few things in the past. I decided to stick with the screen that came with my tank to start but I'll likely bounce back to him in the long run - they just look so nice

Thanks! I'm anxious checking to see if the sump is in stock every day because that's all my tank is delayed on.

Trying to figure out mounting for the lights currently... I'm really leaning toward 80/20. But 3/4" EMT I could get bent, painted, and mounted in a day.

Decisions...

I'm thinking this is a hint...

I'm concerned about my biggest emerald... If you look close she's missing the prehensile portion of both claws. She makes eating motions and is super active at feeding time.

I hope she molts for new growth soon.

Mine never make it that long... They go in to perform a task and I hope and pray they conclude said task before my beloved Marine Betta finds them :p

Just caught up on your build my friend! Looks awesome. I’m jealous about the Phillips. One day I shall have those. Probably not until I eventually upgrade.

in the meantime it’s led t5 combo for me

Can’t wait to see the upgrade!

Much appreciated! I can't wait to see it either! Is yours wet yet?

nah. Still need to level the tank and stand, build plumbing, get lighting suspension figured out (going to cheat and use the aquatic life fixture I want as the mount for my noops) also need to get my ‘scape made and get it in with the LR to marinate for a while.

Plumbing is the easiest of that for me lol. I have a few ideas for lights, but I need the tank for exact measurements.

I'm super torn on scape. I want to go in a different direction with an nsa and smaller chunks... But I'd have to break up my current scape to do so and that will drag out my transfer and I'm already limited on space...

Hey I built mine for my lagoon and went pre built for my 40 so I totally understand

We built ours for the 90 - built to my shortness. Wish we would have made it taller. Ended up with a CADE taller one - yeah, I need a ladder. BUT THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE FOR ACTIVITIES in the sump!

i got a 4ft 120g so 4x2x2. Thing that makes the mounting of lights tricky is it’s eurobraced everywhere but the overflow with rounded corners on the brace. The brace itself is 3 and 1/8 inches wide. Which is why I’m pretty much going to have to go with octo aquatics for my lid

As far as the lights go, I was just going to suspend them from the ceiling but now that I’m planning on going hybrid I was going to use the t5 fixture as the mount.

oh don’t I know it. But I can’t justify that much for lights right now. A year or so from now, I’ll probably buy them and try to hide the cost from my SO
