  1. 42 Gallon Hex build

    The first photo is the top inner frame parts of the stand. It has been notched with the router for the six post. The inner sides of the post have been trimmed to make room for a wider sump. It can be placed in either of two positions. To do this two of the post had to be trimmed on both sides. The parts stacked to the right in the photo are for the bottom frame.

  2. 42 Gallon Hex build

    Below are photo's of the parts for the stand. It is similar to the canopy in that has a inner frame which is actually the stand holding the tank. The back panel is a cabinet with 2 doors. One on each side. This will house the power bars for the pumps and other devices. It will also house the power supply's for the LED's. Behind the front door of the Stand will be the controller and modules. There are two doors on each side to gain access under the stand.

    Here are some more photo's with the canopy assembled and the side panels stained. If you look inside at the bottom inner frame you can see that it slopes down towad the inside of the tank. Also in a photo of the back you can see where the power and control signals enter the canopy. The power is 12 volts and 24 volts. The 12 volts is for the RGBW, UV, Dark Red and lime LED's. It also powers cooling fans for the LED heat sink. The 24 volts is for the Royal Blue and warm white LED's. Also there are ...

  5. 42 Gallon Hex build

    Below are photos of the canopy assembled. This is just a test fit of all the parts. Nothing is glued in the photos except the clear acrylic parts for the LED's. The photo of the corner shows the vents for the LED and electronic compartment in the top of the canopy. In the photo of the back you can see that the side panels end below the bottom of the inner frame which sits on top of the tank. This is to hide the water line from view. The doors are not finished in these photo's. These photo's do give ...
