Now THAT"S what we are talking about. Sweet pics buddy.

 

[Peppie]

Thanks for the pics Jeff,
From hearing you talk about your tank, I get the picture of it being in not up to par in the saltwater world. But your pics have set me straight.
That is a tank many, many, I mean many of us reefers would give our left leg for.
What ever problems you are having dont show in the pics!!! LOL
I need to plan a road trip north, possibly when you get your LED DIY goodies, I can drag Eric up there and we can learn how to DIY LEDs.

 

[DolphinLVR]

Thanks dave and eric! I,d love to have you up!

Tank problems are pretty much in the past . Most of my future plans for the tank are to make it that much better.

Friends like you and eric are what makes this hobby of ours so rewarding.

Looking good! I really love the rock scaping you've done.

Well After 2 Years of the Tank being up and running, I thought I would give it a present in the form of cabinet doors!!!!!!

Now all I need to do is stain them and put some polycrylic on them

 

[NW Fish Dude]

Beautiful! Changes the whole look very nicely.

 

[tat2z_21]

Even if you were just staining the inside of the doors and leaving it a two tone. Nice either way

 

[justforfun]

i like it this way gives it a nice touch....just put some sealer and away ya go...

 

[DolphinLVR]

Thanks Everyone!

I have actually been contemplating of just sealing them and not staining! I personally like the two tone look, but if I were to do it, Shouldnt the upper Molding be natural color as well?

 

[Shane and John]

Jeff. It looks Great the way it is!! Just put a clear poly and roll with it. Remember the 80/20 rule. Enjoy the look of your tank and be VERY Proud of it!!

 

[DolphinLVR]

I am liking that idea as well Shane!!!

 

[Shane and John]

Good deal bud

 

[Peppie]

Cool Jeff,
It looks like you really do know how to read a tape measure!! LOL

Weather you stain them or not, I wouldnt leave the bare wood doors hange on there to long. They will suck up the moisture.

IMO I would stain either the face frames and leave the panels natural. Or the other way around. Either way you will have a 2 tone.

So now how are you going to know if your sump lite is on???? LOL

 

[NW Fish Dude]

Ann says she loves them too. She also votes for the two tone. Adds a nice dimension.
