Very nice Ronnie!

Looks great!! Ad I would imagine the overall power consumption is very low. And no need for a chiller. Truly a green tank.

Thank you, I really liked the ATI power module look so this took a few days to getting used to but I'm glad I went with it. My wife is very green and she said if you are changing the light go with the LED AI. I was looking at the new dimmable power module 8 bulb. But wanted the shimmer.



Thank you, and please don't be jealous I'm sure your tank is as nice if not better. We all take pride in our tanks and posting them just gives people ideas what they can do to there tanks. This tank will change it's look this year by posting it I can see what I've done good and bad. I never know what's going to happen or the direction I go in but there is always ups and downs till I leave it alone.

I must say that the lights bring out the colors very nicely as well as looking great above the tank. And speaking of getting new ideas, I think I'm going to go with something quite similar whenever I upgrade to a larger tank in a year or two.

Thank you, I do like the lights you can have it natural looking or more blue for some pop I like the pop plus the shimmer.

I just read the entire thread. Great build. I made the hour and half drive to pick Ronnie's brain about the SOLs and had no idea how nice of a tank he has. A true inspiration for the tank I'm in progress of building. I wasn't completely sold on the LEDs until now. Thank you Ronnie for taking the time to educate me on the SOLs and show me your amazing tank(s). You'll have to come by and see mine when I finally get it set up. Please let me know if hear anything more on the Red Dragon front.

EDIT: I took some of your advice as far as power consumption and ways to get it down and I went from about 28 amps to a little over 8. Now I know that's not even close to the 1.2 yours uses but hey its greenER and that's also calculated that everything is on at the same time. So thanks again because you saved me almost $1000 because I don't need to have a dedicated circuit put in. Now I can order the rest of my SOLs.

ronnie did u get that big frogspawn in the 120?

 

[Pinkskunk]

Ronnie

that green carpet looks pretty

I guess 1 Hadonni and 2 gigs in the same tank are fine right? they dont have that chemical warfair and stuff........

LOL I was going to put that in my sons tank because it looks so empty right now but decided to make room in the 120 yes in the 120 with the other big hammers and frogspawn.
