Setting up Marineland Deep Dimension 15-g

[eyedogtor]

Hey guys,

Well, just moved the 150g Deep Dimension in the house ... looks great! I really love the cube, and it fits between two windows where it will be a great room showpiece and visible from 3 sides. Here are a few pics...

I am really thankful for the help I have received so far, and expect to ask plenty of questions moving forward!

Here is the stand with the panel removed for easy access...both sides can be removed.

[Flame Angel]

Tank is great, but I like the wood work in the room just as well.

Hello,

Thanks for all of the comments - yes it is starfire, but just the front panel.

Hello,

Tank (with Starfire) was $800, Stand and Canopy was $about $1,000 for the combo. I know that is a lot to those who build stands themselves, but we decided to go this route, and I am very happy with the quality of the stand and canopy.

Thanks,

We just moved in, and love the Post-and-beam architecture!

Hey guys,

Well, I'm on to the next step of using silicone to mount the marco 'prime-cuts' to the back of the tank...instead of painting. Should be a nice look, and tons of small nooks and crannies to mount frags later on. Seems to be working well so far....I have pillows in the bottom as I do the second layer, in case something falls....

Cool, what are you going to light it with?

 

[eyedogtor]

Good morning...LEDs......looking at 3 AI SOLs or 2 Radions....can't decide...

[eyedogtor]

Done...

Well, I have the rock up and it looks pretty good.

nice looking tank, love the wood work with the house and the tank

 

[kshliapa]

Love the look of the post and beam, also love the way that tank looks. The rock on the back wall looks great. I think this will be one of my favorites when it is completed.

 

[Turbosnail]

Very nice!

 

[frank180reef]

awesume!

 

[NHemmasreef]

Very very nice. I understand your dillema with the lighting decision. Im facing the same decision. The radions are getting good reviews so far and syncing to vortechs is a neat feature and they include some red and green which the AI's dont. But on the other side of the coin the sols ( or upcoming pheonix) have been tried and proven their ability to sustain good coral growth as they have been around longer. I will tell you what, order both systems, try them both out and whichever one you don't like, just send it to me. Thanks.

lol...I know, tough decision. I may have to start with 1 radion or 2 sols, and then move up to more when money allows.....
