Wooden blocks?

[Imtheguy35]

I've been stocking people's tanks on some of these threads and I noticed some not all had wooden blocks on the both sides of their tanks... Does this help with lighting, prevent salt creep? Just wondering the benefits if any?

Not sure but you might wanna change your title lol. There's a typo

 

[Imtheguy35]

possibly for leveling the tank...?

 

[mattvisocky2003]

On the top of the tank??

 

[Imtheguy35]

Trying to find a picture again!! Can't find one go figure... Yes, on top on both sides

 

[mattvisocky2003]

Is it part of the canopy? Just allowing the wood canopy to sit on the tank top?

 

[Imtheguy35]

Here a pic of a block on one side usually they are on both sides...

 

[mattvisocky2003]

Wow. Been in a while and not sure of the purpose in the wood. Maybe he mounts something from it? I can't see anything...

 

[Imtheguy35]

I've seen it on a few of the tanks I did not know if it was something to do with funneling the the light??? I had no clue..

 

[mcarroll]

I can't imagine what that would be for. Definitely not required!

Nothing with light. It doesn't really funnel...

I used wooden blocks to raise up my metal halide lights. The legs the unit came with did not raise the lights to the level that I wanted and I was not comfortable with hanging the unit. The blocks were just the best/cheapest thing for me at the time.

They may be using the wood to set across the top so they could set something on top during tank maintance.





WE LOVE PIC'S

Weird, never seen that before.

I think it's holding something in place. There appears to be a rod coming from it down to the rock...
