Yes a phone app lol I don't have a computer so I solely function off it.

Here is my 120g FOWLR

 

[nate21887]

And here is my new project...my 40 breeder...soon to be mixed reef.

 

[Guerry]

Welcome, great looking tanks you have there

 

[nate21887]

Thanks Guerry, I'm really anxious to get the 40 up and going.

 

[Guerry]

I would suggest LED lighting if you haven't bought lights yet, you can build fixture for about the same cost as other lighting now days and much better in the long haul

 

[nate21887]

As of right now its T5, but the plan is to go completely LED once things are all together. Still not decided as to which route to go though...considering a DIY kit or doing the par bulbs.

 

[Guerry]

I'd go DIY, when you get ready give me a shout and I'll give you a hand figuring out what you need to buy. Here's a picture of fixture I just built

I've got a build thread of my tanks, check it out M&Gs reef

 

[nate21887]

Wow that fixture is boss! I will defenetly be checking out your thread. The LED's will probably be my final chapter of the build. I'm hoping to get my overflow kit ordered this week so I can drill this bad boy.

 

[Guerry]

nice, have you started a build thread yet

 

[nate21887]

Not yet...prob should get a start on that before I get to far along

 

[Guerry]

yell it's nice to watch it grow and helps you to beable to go back with time line to see your own progress

 

[nate21887]

I've got a few going for this one on my favorite forums...actually putting a thread together for it now on here. And I agree it will be nice to go back land look several months later.

 

[Guerry]

Cool look forward to following along
