The Tank
Added a black background to it. Got a sticky vinyl back for it from Joann fabrics... dunno if ill do it again and just go with painting it since there are some noticable airbubbles.. oh well coraline will eventually cover it anyway. With the reef keeper and sand on the way, i can start filling it up sometime this week.
The stand
Made a lot of progress on the stand today. Got the paneling i wanted along with some other stuff to try to get it finished up. Today i got it all cut and basically tacked in place. Tomorrow ill be staining. Coming from a guy that doesn't have any wood working experience, im pretty happy with it. I do notice some things off with it but ill live, since its in my room i dont have to worry about to many people seeing it.
For a door i just made a removable panel and it works wonderful.
I do wanna try to make the sump area as quiet as possible, sometimes hard with the drain. so im gonna get some sort of sound deadening material to help out.
The Light
The LED's also came so after the stand was tacked in place, i got to work on the LED's. Got a temp dimming POT so i could atleast get it all ready for the reefkeeper. I got a power cord from work that actually splits into 2, so i only have to take up one space on my reefkeeper now instead of two to turn them on. Everything went pretty smoothly just very repetitive and time consuming. I HATE glueing the Lens's, its very nerve wrecking for sure. So now i just gotta figure out how im gonna hang it.
