Thanks guys!

TLH - Side grommets are for filter tubing to Lily Pipes. See my 20L thread for shots of my other cabinet with the same grommets. They make for a
nice clean look IMO.

Very nice! I love the look of natural wood oils

I agree it looks ok but on a longish tank is there much water movement at the other end when you have inlet and outlet close together like that?

I am green of envy.

I am looking forward to see your tank filled

you did a really nice job on the stand, and I totally agree about the grommets really "streamlining" the look. I like seeing that things were done purposefully, even something as easily overlooked as a finishing piece around the grommet does not go unnoticed in my book! Details are what distinguishes a tank from a tank.

wow nice stand, its just like the one i have from IKEA, but you made yours yourself. thats impressive.

If you're referring to my 20, there is absolutely enough movement on the other end! I have my CO2 diffuser exactly opposite the outflow, and it gets blown around the tank very evenly.

If you're referring to the 60-P, take a look at this...

I think I'll be just fine

are those all yours? they are a bunch of the most beautiful tanks, and so many of them too. i bet all the ada stuff cost a fortune.

Nice to know. I'll bear that in mind if ever I do a free standing tank. All mine have been up against a wall so really only get viewed from one side so everything goes behind one long side and in the corners.

Yes you shall find them quite "drool worthy"

**rountreesj** · 04-30-2008, 03:28 PM

I need to clean the drool off my keyboard...and go buy a plane ticket to Japan.

I think you're really going to like the color of those 8000K MH bulbs. I've set up a couple tanks using the 150w version and there really is no other bulb with color anything like it. They're as close to perfect as planted tank lighting gets, in my opinion. This is going to be a very nice setup
