There you go thank you Knew you could do it lol

Breakthecycle2 · Apr 3, 2015

It should be plumbed and filled tomorrow

Breakthecycle2 · Apr 6, 2015

Plumbed and half filled and did the rock work. Filling the rest today, adding and sand and salting.

Breakthecycle2 · Apr 7, 2015

Filled, salted, rocked and sand. The stupid RMS mounts don't fit over the eurobracing, so I had to order the multi light RMS.

Filled and running.

Tank looks great! Nice scape.

Is that Multi RMS bowing in the middle? That kind of annoys me. It might be the camera angle..

Breakthecycle2 · Apr 14, 2015

Yeah. It is bowing in the middle. It's aggravating.

SeahorseKeeper · Apr 14, 2015

The tank is looking good!!

This is good to know. I was going to go with the same setup for my new tank that is coming. Not sure how I feel about spending $240 on a mounting option that is already bowing with just 3 Radions.

I didn't want to hang them. I had already bought 3 RMS mounts, but the eurobracing at the top will not allow mounting single RMS mounts.

I'm in the same situation. I don't want to hang them either, but I was going to run 4 or 5 Radion Pros over my 72x30x28.5 and it makes me nervous that the RMS is already bowing with just 3 fixtures over that span.
