      Supplementing my Ecotech Radions with T5s

      I have been wanting to supplement my radions for a long time now. The radions were doing a great job coloring things up but i wanted that "WOW" color :a02:! I decided that now is the time to get this done! Here is my sup build. ENJOY, and let me know what you think...


      BEFORE.


      THE ONLY TOOLS I USED. (EASY BUILD FOR THOSE WHO WANT SOME BRACKETS)


      T5 RETRO


      BRACKET HUNG. I CAN DRILL HOLES AND ADD MORE T5s IF NEEDED.



      FINSHED PRODUCT! BESIDE LOOKS, I AM PLEASE WITH THE OUTCOME... I WILL HAVE A CANOPY BUILT AFTER I MOVE. JUST NEED TO CLEAN UP THE WIRES.





      AND I JUST PICKED UP THIS POTTERS THAT EATS PELLETS ONLY TO FIND OUT HE NIPS AT MY SPS!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE TO CATCH HIM AND PUT HIM IN MY SOFTIES TANK!



      IF ANYONE WANTS SOME BRACKETS I CAN MAKE THEM VERY FAST AND CHEAP. I WILL BE PAINTING THEM BLACK SOON ALSO... THANKS FOR LOOKING! HAPPY REEFING!

      My landlord is already complaining about the amount of power i use, she would be heated if i was running 8 t5s and two radions. haha

      Nice. The glow was what I found today. How long have you been there? Has your landlord seen what the electric bill will actually be? If I wasn't paying electric bill I would have 500 to 1000 gallons of salt water in my house. The fish tanks are killing me with the power. My last bill was $244 and I live in a 1200 sq. ft condo. My neighbors bill was $98. Enjoy the free power

      I just noticed you still havent skinned that stand. My offer still stands i have the tools and some skills. You provide the material, some labor and beer we could get a basic skin on that beautiful tank.
