So, I've finally found a way to mount my PAR38 bulb over my tank so it doesn't look like crap. it only cost me $15! I'm making this thread in order to get opinions on my build and help those who need a good way to mount their PAR bulbs. I used: -conduit -a 1" PVC coupling (used to house the...

hah I haven't updated this thread in a while. There has been a lot of progress and I'm excited to get this tank stocked with corals and fish. The cycle is over with, and since there is no livestock in it right now I ghost feed the tank a tiny bit to keep the bacteria alive. I'm waiting on an...

good idea with the veg oil. I should definitely try that with the fans on my DIY canopy I have. As for the biocube fan, Oceanic said they would send me a new one along with a new LED driver...so I got lucky. And just to let everyone know who owns a biocube, Oceanic, or Central Pets or whatever...

well I decided to go ahead and mod the tank quite a bit. In the first chamber, I took out the false floor so I can put my heater all the way in so it's 100% submerged. I cut the tab for when the water spills over to the 2nd chamber for increased flow. Then I took out both false floors in the...

I also figured out that the customer service dept. for oceanic is super cool and will send replacement parts without even asking for a receipt or if the warranty is still valid. This is perfect because one of the fans is super noisy. Theres also a crack in the splash protector and a broken...

thanks for all the replies and advice everyone. I actually happened to run into a random thread over on nanoreef about jawfish. Some people have built them cool homes out of 3/4" or 1" PVC. I thought this would be cool since my other two tanks can't have lids on them, and I've always wanted...

So I happened to stumble upon a biocube 14 today for $50 (heater, lights, and pump included). First thing in my mind was .....I MUST HAVE IT!!! now that I fought off 2 other people to get it, I need some cool ideas on what to do with it. anybody have some cool ideas? (just for reference, I...

problem solved...the angel finally started accepting various types of food. now its diet consists of prime reef and mysis (which are soaked in selcon+vita chem+garlic extreme), cyclopeeze, garlic pellets, and algae.

the RAPID LED par38 bulb came today! very impressed. The color combo looks very nice and its quality is awesome. now I just need to find a fixture... I'll also finally have some pictures to post of the build starting tomorrow. The glass is going to be ready so I can start to silicon the tank...

lol! So I just reordered 10 lbs of base rock from reef cleaners for $31 so the total is now at....$322.34. now I'm off to buy the glass, divider, and lamp fixture...hopefully this project stays under $400 haha.

ok well the project has officially started I bought a large majority of the supplies I needed today...here's the breakdown: -some 1/2" vinyl tubing -aquarium sealant -painter's tape -krylon fusion black (I'm surprised they sold me spray paint considering I'm a minor haha) -RapidLED par38 bulb...
