Action is hard to come by right now!!! Brett and I have been crazy busy.
Hopefully now that vacations are done we can get something done.
Thanks Tom, she turned the big 40!

No new updates til September, I sent the light back to AI so they can rig it for dimming. I didn't want to chance messing it up on such an expensive light.
cement block and I-beams
I noticed from your picture that you are using I-beams on cement blocks to support your tank. I'm planning a similar sized tank in the next two years and was thinking of the same setup. Looks like great access underneath.
Wondering what size I-beams you used and if you cemented the blocks together or in any way connected the I-beams to anything.
Thanks and planning on buying some of your corals when I am up and running.

Hey Jeff,
Todd can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the I-Beams were about 4" square. The cement blocks were filled with cement. No mortar joints to throw the works out of level. Nothing other than all the compression forces holding the I-beams to the cement block...
Totally overbuilt... I could of made this stand out of 2 x 4's! It would look like a wooden roller coaster at cedar point... But this looks cool and you could put two or three more tanks on top of it! :bigsmile:
No we did not... The unit has been sent back to Aqua Illumination for some changes. Hopefully we'll be able to show it off at MACNA!

Mine wasn't setup to dim but Chris at AI is fixing that for me.
