That is gonna look great Eric.

Very nice setup you have planned...is that a 45gal?

 

[DJE]

It's going to be a great build Eric. Awesome equipment. Congrats!

 

[KeishaKornbread]

Nice....but what does Patrick have to say about this!!!

 

[Herbie]

just curious; why a radion if you are going low light? Future flexibility?

Yup, 45g

he was okay with it, surprisingly! He even helped pick it up with me.

Because of the size of the tank, too small for a 24" T5. Plus I want the blue LED as those make the chalices crazy pop with color. It'll only be ran probably on 20% power if that. Also the sleek and modern look of the fixture goes with the tank and the home decor.

Haha! That was my first thought as well! Congrats on the new tank! Can't wait to watch it develop!

 

[Cubbies]

Can't wait for it to unveil Eric! Should be fun to watch knowing your taste! How do you feel about multiple basslets in the tank though? I wouldn't be too sure. . .

 

[Mr.Ghostly]

That is a pretty sweet setup you got there

 

[RedDevil.258]

Great looking start and planning! Enjoy your new build!

 

[Funlad3]

Looking forwards to this, although why no Catalina in the subtropical?

 

[poidog]

Good idea Ben! Forgot about those little guys.

 

[rosko23]

I don't like the idea. I think that you should just sell me this tank as well... =)

Awesome; I LOVE catalina gobies.
