SloppyJ's Extra Sloppy 93g Rimless Build

Thanks Duff. That's very true. I know when it's moved inside and set up, I'm going to look at it and feel great knowing I did all of the work. The stand took a lot more work than I thought. But I learned a lot and got to make it exactly how I wanted.

Long nose, I took this for you. I centered the light front to back and it's 10" off the water.

I have the exact same tank as you and I too am currently setting it up. The only thing I haven't bought yet is the light. How do you like the radion and does it light the tank fully. I have been debating this or a mh led combo. Whats your thoughts or better yet par numbers. I'd like to keep the clam that's in my other tank.

Looking good

SloppyJ · May 4, 2014

Thanks fishlee. As far as the light goes, so far I'm super impressed. I have it 10" off of the surface of the water. I have only tested it when I did a leak test and right now without water. I highly doubt you'd have a problem keeping a clam.

I went through the same debate. I almost got an 8 bulb ATI but I went radion instead. So far I'm super happy with the light.
