The Green 120 Tech Softy's Tank Upgrade

Sweet setup Ronnie! The color coordination is awesome! Can't wait to see the best looking softy tank get bigger! Are you going to use the same ATI light fixture on the 120? Nice job!! :cool:
 
everything is so pretty and color coordinated....nice job!
Thank you

Very very nice Ronnie!

Love the plumbing!
Now where have I seen that red plumbing thing before?
Hehe :cool:
That is for the new red club ;) Just saw your progress sweet. Thank you for the kind words

Yes, same light. Some of my softy's have there sun glasses on so when they go into the 120 should look better. :)

Playing with my power strip. I reversed the panel so it will be all black I thought about painting it white, but decided it would just blend to the background and the red lights well look just fine. Next make a hole and mount so its flush on he right side. All the wires are going to be on the outside back panel including the two PC4. Also waiting for my red LED fan to mount and controller. The sand is being rinsed. Also have door switches for the doors so when you open the RED LED will light automatic in side the stand.

All you need now is a nice LED setup on that tank in perhaps a red fixture! :D
 
Geez, i thought I was done painting red....

Now I have to paint my reactors to keep up.....

;) :p :D
Red rules


That is a nice looking reactor.


While I am at it I might as well paint my skimmer as well. LOL



I am starting to get envious of the new gear.

edit: my return lines are all painted red now as well.

Pretty slick setup

The neatness meter is off the charts, not even a smudge.

Nice Job
 
awesome looking tank. looks good even with no water in it, cant imagine when its full.
 
Looking Great Ronnie I have to say........ Doing a awesome job!
Let me know if you need any more of thoes Miltex scalples to cut stuff up :)
 
NICE!!!!! I like how you mounted the DJ switches with everything outside the stand! That looks SLICK!
 
OK, I'm tired and don't want to touch the tank anymore so I will post some pictures of the event from yesterday. I decided to switch the tank by my self bad move other than spilling 20 gallons of new water in the basement everything went OK. Hope you like it. I will take better pictures soon. First I moved all the LPS and some colorful softy's to my sons tank a week ago.

OK, I mounted everything on the back of the tank to keep it clean inside. I did have red tie wraps and red velcro but decided it looked will you know.

The Frag Kit is out and ready to cut and break down the Softy's tank from here there are not many pictures till the rock goes in the new tank. Have to say the rock was heavy and big BIG Macro Rock. Filling the new tank was painful. enough said here are some pictures.
