I've got nothing more to say other than: Get to it already!

Gotta love a project

That sounds real neat. Question, will the lighting for the lower tanks get in the way of viewing the upper tanks? Not sure how high each fixture will be off the surface of each tank. However, that idea sounds really fantastic.

I love it. The only things I would suggest would first of all be to try to go wider with the tanks since they are being viewed from both sides. One inch of clearance on each side to get a mag float on the glass only leaves 10 useable inches in the tanks. As much thought as you've put into these I'm sure you've realized that, but this is coming from a guy who has a12 inch and wishes he had more room.

The other question is about the LEDs... you might be able to get by with the bar level across the entire fixture over the tank with multiple optics sizes. That would be sweeeeeeeet!

The concept looks AMAZING! :-)

Thanks guys,

I'm a little worried about having enough space on both sides, but the scape is going to be minimalist with very few rocks in the DT fuge and an island style in the cube. That's why I'm adding more LR in the sump. Plus if I changed the width I would have to get a bigger cube! And yes, Matt guessed it, I forgot to mention the LED's will all be on the same level either on the ceiling or close beneath. All 3 LED fixtures will have different optic sizes, probably 40, 60, and 80. The LED's for the other fuge, frag tank, and algae scrubber will be hidden in the top part of the stand making the lights very clean and unnoticeable.

Keeps us posted and take lots of pictures of everything....I want pictures of you in the store buying to the finished product! good luck!

I'll try, but I forgot to take my camera to Lowe's today

return what you bought and go do it all over again! lol
