Wow..those are some skills that can pay the bills,......if you wanted them too..lol....nicely done.

Goober · Oct 22, 2014

So here a reference of the size difference of the tanks. Hopefully I'll be able to get it running in 2 weeks. My sump looks really good sitting in the stand. Planning on getting a 24" fixture for my display fuge

****. That's awesome. Good things do come in small-ish packages!

Epic!

Dude. You are handy as f-$7$. You need to open your own store. I know someone that could really use your help. CNC machine and everything. He's trying to master welding.

Just read through this whole thread. Great build Goober, extremely clean! Really diggin that external overflow and display fuge. Can't wait to see it wet.

Any updateds ?

Goober · Aug 1, 2015

Been busy with work far away from home so here's what I have so far with the tank up and running. Built a few spots inside the stand to keep my controllers and energy bars ect. Hopefully they won't get wet and shouldnt.

This is before it got wet.

This is what it looks like now. Next up will be a quick skin for the stand

dorkymk3 · Aug 1, 2015

Nice to see your tank build up and running.

Goober · Aug 6, 2015

Quick skin just thrown on the stand. Pair of flame wrasses added. Wish list left for fish are a pair of potter wrasses and a Hawaiian cleaner. Then on to corals

Continuing my build (when I have the time) picked up a hybrid fixture to gut out for leds. Planning either my auroras or radions. Not sure which yet along with t5s

Goober · Aug 22, 2015

Finally "done" I purposely left the housing alone incase I wanna change it up. Next up will be installing my ldd drivers to my apex for full control. And yes I got an adapter that converts the apex analog signal to the pwm digital signal. It's capable of dimming all the way down to 1%. Will update once up and running. Back to family time

Goober · Aug 26, 2015

Well finally had the chance to hook up the auroras to the apex via ldd drivers and pmw converter. Everything runs great and dims down to 1%! I'll post a simulation video of the lights in action once I'm able to mount them

Titanwerx · Aug 27, 2015

Man, you DIY'd a ton on this system and it is looking awesome! Did you make your own skimmer and pumps too!? Lol. I think you need your own company. Keep them pics coming, I love reading this thread.

Nice [MENTION=6581]Goober[/MENTION]! So u were able to source the pwm converters huh! Hope they didn't cost an arm and a leg

Goober · Aug 27, 2015

Thanks titan! And yeah Shawn the converter was only $20 so it didn't break the bank. It works great
