Looking good.
Ok so the tank is a Mr. Aqua and stand is jbj.....I used a standard 2.5g tank for the fuge, but I cut 1/3 away. I cut all silicone from bottom and one side. Removed those panels, cut them with standard glass cutter and siliconed everything back together. So that holds about 1.75 gallons. I drilled it and cut a corner off of an acrylic overflow for the overflow. The sump was made out of acrylic panels with a single divider (i did not do this) I will give credit to the guy I got it from, when I remember who it was. I will post pictures of it out of the system asap......all this stuff can be built... You can buy glass panels at Lowe's and they will cut them to size. Standard clear 100% silicone is aquarium safe........

Yea I saw ur f/s thread on that.... Looks good though.......
Heres a pic of the side where you can see my reef controller. It's a reefangel with PWM for my LEDs. The controller does my wavemaking using koralia mini, heating, feeding mode, water change mode, monitor ph, etc...etc... But the best part is that it does sunrise and sunset. The pattern, currently, is a parabola. I'm using two meanwell 60-48P driveres connected to 10 whites and 10 blues which is overkill but I run them very soft at 380ma max. LEDs start at 0% at 10am and hit 100% at 3pm and ramp back down to 0% at 8pm. The fuge light is two whites and one blue that come on at night along with the moon lights, which is also all controlled by the reef angel. The whole thing is connected to a reefangel WiFi modual and is forwarded to a web portal. Yes folks, I can monitor, toggle modes and switches, and change setting all through my android phone. Thank you Curt Binder, for your development with reefangel and this android app. I highly recommend everyone that has any computer expirience to check out reefangel. It is a complely open source programmable reef controller based on the arduino controller.

Looking good bro. To all this guy built my led light system and that is Sick awesome. Moon, royal blue acticnic and day light my corals start doing better and everything in the tank looks great. I will upload pics soon. But if any buddy has a old fixture Marin can make magic with that. My was a 36" t5 fixture and now is a led system with timer build in.
