BiGGie's Build

Are you concerned with humidity getting into these valuable electronics?
Is there a way to cut the back open a little and/or add in a fan?
There are a few cutouts currently. I did plan on running a couple good sized fans as well. Not too sure size wise, but was thinking something along the lines of pc component, maybe push/ pull like a gaming pc. What're your thoughts?
 
I have this AC Infinity controller with USB computer fans.


I wish I’d seen this before, could’ve saved some dollars.

 
I was just looking at those during a search. Seem pretty straight forward.

The controller looks nice, but it ended up being a waste since I ended up putting a screen cover panel over the electronic cabinet instead of a solid door. The fans are setup to push / pull, but they never run.

Would you mind posting a picture. I actually kind of like the stand without doors, although it is a heck of a lot sleeker with them on. Even thought of using some smoked acrylic for asthetics as well.
 
Sent you a PM. The panel is a simple wood frame built like a picture frame with some window screen on the back.
 
And so it begins...

Trying to work out some rock work. I have a vision in mind but damn it all, it's not coming out the way I anticipated. Anyways, this is the front left structure that will attach the the back left structure that is near center of overflow. Directly behind the glove will is where the overflow is. I have about 100 lbs, of established rock teeming with life in another tank, so I have to incorporate a few nice pieces from that as well.
I'm using some acrylic rods to help stabilize things while mortar dries. Gladly accept any pointers here and or criticism.

Great idea about with the rods for reinforcement.. rock work is looking good. Is this going to be all sps?

In theory, yes, but there's some other cool stuff that I like as well so who knows.
 
I want to try and do the negative space aquascape that Bulk Reef Supply has started doing looks pretty cool...
 
:D:D:D
That's how I feel when I did mine.
I wouldn't fret over it. Rockworks only matter when you can't grow corals. So just make sure your corals grow.

So I gave up on the fancy schmancy rockwork and ended up with this so far.

Probably going to just use the dry rock on the left as I have a bunch of established live rock for the rest of the tank. But now I have a leaking metric uPVC drain bulkhead. The joys of this hobby are great sometimes. Glad I only filled the overflow a little bit and not the tank.
