Wow 7ft! Will you be buying another lighting system to light such a beast, or will you add a Mitras or two on the ends of the ATI?

rodneyri · 11/16/2013, 03:25 PM

I'll run a 5ft ati hybrid and have some nice space around the scape to give an open look to the tank.

Moser · 11/16/2013, 03:37 PM

and then buy another 2ft one, when you run out of space again….

rodneyri · 11/16/2013, 05:02 PM

why do we always seem to run out of space hey!

ill probably grow zoa rocks on the less lit areas, ideally like to stick with one fixture just cause it looks good...but if i had to then yeah another hybrid

rodneyri · 12/15/2014, 01:28 AM

Bits and pieces are arriving for the new tank, 7'x 2.5'x 1.5'

Skimmer

Return

Base rock with lots of aquaknead, superglue and cable ties

sahin · 12/15/2014, 05:54 AM

Looking forward to this. Are you keeping the same lights or do you feel like changing to something different?

rodneyri · 12/15/2014, 02:13 PM

I have a giesemann matrixx II dimtec on its way. The ATI was too short and not a fan of having two lights over the tank.

I am considering a switch to T5 for the summer months and have an 82"x 32" tank. I also assumed I would have to go with two 36" fixtures. How long is the Giesemann? Isn't it the same length as the ATI 80W LED Powermodule?

Is it 1550mm dimtec?

rodneyri · 12/15/2014, 06:02 PM

Yup its 1550 8x80w. My hybrid is the 54w so not long enough

Long enough for. 84" tank?

rodneyri · 12/15/2014, 08:37 PM

Not long enough but the scape idea is to be centred with open space on the edges

Scape is basically what I have now with some extra bits to fill up some space

IC thanks

One of my fav parts of the hobby is making aquascapes...here is some hints as to where this one is going creating some nice overhangs

rodneyri · 12/17/2014, 06:14 PM

Glass arrived. Nice one piece euro

sahin · 12/18/2014, 12:20 PM

Wow, this is going to be a sweet tank.

rodneyri · 12/20/2014, 11:55 PM

Lots of gluing to hold this monster together..it's actually 4ft long! This is the first part of the scape for the new tank

Almost done, just not sure ill keep the rock cable tied at the front just yet

acesq · 12/22/2014, 09:47 AM

Very nice scape!

rodneyri · 12/24/2014, 02:20 AM

New light arrived but cant pick up til Monday cause of Xmas! so close to having a new new pressie

biggles · 12/24/2014, 03:11 AM

The new build is looking very cool Rodney, that rock structure is going to make an awesome acro platform

Sucks about the new light not being under the xmas tree tonight......

Arrrrggg that sucks man! Well, at least it will be there soon.

That scape looks crazy! Going to look awesome with SPS on it.

rodneyri · 12/26/2014, 08:51 PM

Happy day, DHL was open on a Saturday so was able to pickup the new light. Giesemann Matrix II Dimtec 8x80w.

Very sleek unit, by far the best looking light ive seen or owned - it oozes quality aswell as design. The light is very narrow, 45cm (35cm globe to globe roughly) so lets see how much spread the light gives when the globes arrive
