That is really cool :) ill let you know when im ready to do that, i do have a spare but i think the motherboard got fried :( if that gets fixed somehow im def going to set that up.
 
So it has been a while since i updated this. I just have been very busy lately and trying to get this done so i can have it start cycling. So here are some pics :)

Fits perfectly and made some baffles...

Made the light stand out of PVC then spray painted it black... The light was heavier than i thought about 30 something pounds or more... The glass shield weighs a lot! I was worried it wouldnt hold but i guess PVC is pretty strong :) it bends but nothing too major... I havent seen the fixture for a while since i purchased it a long time ago and when i was building the light stand i measured wrong for the hanging kit so came up short :( hope its not too much of a problem in the long run.

Hamilton Cebu 2 250watt 20k Radiums, 4 T-5 actinic 03, and not sure if you can see it but this fixture has some LEDs on the base of the single ended bulbs also thinking about switching 2 of the T-5 03 actinics to 22k aqua science though what you guys think?

Thanks Billy! Just the flowstar :) yeah that is a lot but i added a ball valve so i adjusted it about 50% or so. The skimmer is SWC 160 cone, got it from Luke at reeffiltration.

Sure stop by anytime... well after a week or so, the area is a mess and even i barely have space to walk lol... i really need to get this done so i can clean up...

Wow that was fast you almost beat me to it and i started my set up first! Are you using all RO water to fill it up?
 
yea well i picked up my stand last saturday and got it plumbed sunday and started making water....i have a 50gpd unit and left it on since sunday afternoon and it barely filled up half the tank(water is freezing cold), so i borrowed my cuz' 100gpd unit and its filling up much quicker....i'm pretty siked about it...got my Geo CaRX coming in the mail...
