Awesome tank

I hear ya, on the LED. But honestly I am thinking the Plasma is just simpler solution, less bulbs to deal with and more reliable. The tank will be positioned in the center of my house, so our 3 ton AC should be removing the humidity. Our houses normally stay in the low 40% humidity wise. And I'm...

Well so far what I've read I like. Found your tread. Down here energy costs are through the roof, so if these put out more light per Watt thats what I'm after. Hows the heat output on them? Are they better or worse in heating up the tank? Thats a big problem here. Since we're normally 90+...

Anyone purchased a plasma light from these guys yet? If so what do you think? Can the Plasma light hit a deep blue color as well as a daylight spectrum? Are they worth the $$. I'm basically thinking plasma mains and LED accents. Instead of the norm MH & T5 type set ups.

And also added about 15 more palm trees to the yard for that tropical feel. Need to be tropical outside the house too, to match the reef :) Here's a couple picts of some of the tropical around the yard.

Well long time no see. Here's an update, it looks rough guys, but serious progress has been made with preparing the house for both me to move in and to set up the area around the tank. Updates: 1. 14 Cat6 Network runs 2. New Electrical grid, complete with a 200amp panel and 2...

Well got Dads 90 gallon tank and my Tank and stand, looks great. I am not taking my tank out of the crate till the house restoration is done though :( I don't want it to get damaged till the downstairs is ready to slide it in. Here's the latest on the room and a few picts of Dads tank the stand...

Those holes are for the return. I am not dead set on using them. I'll give them a try, if they don't work well I'll cap them and run PVC returns over the top and drop in at the top on the other side.

Here's the first picts of the tank being built in Canada today. AS you can see it' clear clear clear.. gotta love Starfire glass :) The bottom photo is corner bracing for extra strength

great advice thanks!

could use these I guess too. I used to keep them open im my boat cabin during the rainy season. Not sure how expensive it would get to always be changing them out though...

unlikely then. Humidity outside is prolly between 70-90% during the worst times.Houses normally stay around 60% I think here.

So is a vent fan, more in use down here? I could run a vent fan line and blow it out under the crawl space, it would just have to be one all the time or it would let humidity and heat in. Does anyone worry about high humidity level inside cabinants down here in FL?

Here's where the tank is going to be installed, starting to look cleaned out.

Whats a good compact dehumidifier? I'd like to install one in the tank stand to help fight the humidity.

Yeah I got a frag from Jess's tank a while ago and saw it in person and really liked the tank. It was one of the nicest tanks I've seen. Thats one of the main reasons I would like to go with a darker sand. I never would have thought about it otherwise. The sand I'm looking at is not pure black...

todays progress

looks nicer to me, plus it'll keep light reflection to a minimum. And the tank is going in my living room, so I want to keep the light in the tank and not have it bounce around outside the tank.

The guy at our LFS here is saying Ozone reactors are the Sh*t. I am not sure if I believe it, I havne't heard of too many guys in CA that run them, whats your take on Ozone Reactors?
