Project 220 under way!

The canopy is 10" (looking back I wish I would have went taller for better halides) lighting will be my combo hqi de halides and china leds. Eventually I will go with se 400 watt halides. I've got 35 different acros which IMO look way better under halides.

Awesome looking stand. Love the drawers.

Any full tank shots with stand? Also do you have photos of all the plumbing underneath? Would like to see how it works with the drawers. Great looking tank. Thanks!

I'll post a pic of the equipment dress up later as I'm still working on things

Thanks for the pics. I like the taller stand. More at eye level.

Yea I can't stand bending over to look at a tank. Probably the same reason I've only owned 27+ inches tall tanks

Ok as expected with a large water change I'm sad to report some loss of life. My blue tenius acro frag and my blue iris acro frag didn't make the swap. Still hopeful that I've got it stable enough to prevent more casualties but what do you guys think of the rock
