Thanks man. Also happy with the outcome. Now i don't have to worry about how to mount the "kerved" arm at the back. The goosneck mounting arms is an easier way to go with. But i like the fun DIY projects.

Week 4 and waiting patiently. Light cycle started on week 3. 8 Hours a day on 100% intensity. Diatoms appeared on the rock and sand bed. It's just a matter of time. Still in 3 worlds about what i want to run in this tank. SPS only. SPS and LPS or a complete mix with some softies. At this stage i'm leaning towards a SPS & LPS reef.

I guess its time for an updated. The reefers have spoken 
Week 8 is in full swing. Tank is looking good and i am happy with the results so far. Running seachem vibrant salt at the moment. Will be changing salts once this batch is finished. Not too happy with how it mixes. Cloudy even if you add salt bit by bit and giving it a chance to mix first. The mixing pump and heater are white after each mix. Haven't decided on a new salt yet.
Made quite a bit of progress on the housing for the ATO unit and fan contoller. Also added my 1st coral frags. No fish at the moment
Fan controller is up and running. Still need to finish the dosing head and float switch wiring. Temp controller is working really good. Temperature between 25.7-26.3 deg. Most off the time constant on 26. Set temp is 26 and the fan kicks in on 26.3 deg. Takes about 5 mins to cool back down. Evaporation is minimal.
The mini temp controller. It's a 12v controller with 12v output. You can also wire in a lower volt adapter to the output if you want the fan to run at a lower voltage.
Perpex part received from laser cutting. Some pics off the build progress and a final one on the tank. I'll post some pics on the frags a bit later. Hope you enjoy. Have a GR8 week!
Perspex stand offs for the top lid.
