TITAN AQUATICS 374g (externail) build 96"x30"x30"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Update time...cabinet place finally got off there arse and worked on my stand. It has been a combination of me not being a big enough PITA with them...them being super busy, short handed. But finally they have pretty much finished up the wood work on the stand and mostly on the canopy. I didnt get pics of the canopy but they were able to extend the back wall pretty easy. They added a sheet of 5/8" ply to the top and used a few different strips and blocks of wood to support on the back. The 2 spots that have just the 5/8" ply are small spots....they thought when doing the blocked support that I would need the cutouts for drains like I had on my 240. I dont think it will be an issue because the areas are small that are just the 5/8" ply. The next thing will be the paint...that might take a little time because of the weather backing them up. This is a company that was voted as best cabinets in the area....they are super busy.

Went back and got pics of the canopy and had them change something on the stand. They had an extra peice of wood on the back edge that had a curved peice of wood to block the view of the supports on the back. I had them remove that extra wood...much cleaner looking.

I think I got my LED lights that I want to use. A while back I tried the 30w ebay floods but the best color I could find was 6-7000k and it was way too yellow. Now someone has them in a 10000k color and it looks pretty darn good over my 125 holding tank. Here is a nice vid I shot today. I will use at least 4 of these with some t5HO power glows OR I might up the LEDs to 8 of them and not use the T5's...not sure yet.

And here is some more fish that will go in this tank...they are in a 90 with not so great lighting. The oscar, V Argent, V Ragani, and the Dist will...I dont think the super red sev can hang...and not sure if I want tinfoils or not if so ill get a few more to school.

Pic of under the stand after they cleaned it up some and doused it with straight bleach a few times...still looks yuck but i guess its all dead? They are going to coat it in a outdoor primer n paint with a anti mold agent aded to the paint....thoughts?

Then I was talking to them about cutting some arches in the bottom to allow air flow so it can maybe not grow mold again and can have a fan blow under it if water spills again. Crude srawing below....im thinking 2 like that on the front, back and one per side. I dont think it will effect the stands ability to hold the tank....
