Here is the second one completed and the wires all straitened out and ziptied:
I'm hoping to finish getting the lights hung tonight and the vent fans installed although I'm not sure I'll get all the duct work done until tomorrow.

Hop - those look awesome!! They look almost professional enough to have been bought commercial...
One question though...is it an optical illusion or something or does the reflector on the right look smaller than the one on the left?

WOW Hop. I just caught your thread and have to say everything looks great. I am soooooo jealous as I really wish I had a longer tank in order to space out my rocks just like you have and that way I could put another tang or two.
But I really must ask, do you not work? Man you have done this awesome set-up in no time. I took like 5 months in order to complete mine. Once again, it looks great. Congrats and enjoy!!!!

Looks AMAZING! Nice professional job
Where did you get the rivet gun? Lowes? I've seen a few people now using them and want to use one when I do my lights. Angle aluminum, where you get it. Hope to hear from you soon Lunchbucket

Alright! Well we are up and running although nothing except the act are on the neptune yet and I still have some vent work to take care of. But anyways, we'll show the progress of the evening. There was n way to do a step-by-step here as it took every hand in the house to contort to install the fan and lights. So here are the lights hung. I put plastic over the tank since I was punching holes in the wall. The lights were a little crooked at first due to the wires: ACT only. Sorry on white balance adjustment... Just the PHD setting:

halides on. The left is a 175 XM10K and the right is an overdriven 400watt 20K... I'm still playing with lighting effects that I want to instill on this build so nothing permanent yet:
And here is the first shot of the beginning of the ventilation system. I'll go more in depth on this later:
