Looks good! That last outlet is upside down, though.

Oh, and that truck needs a coat of wax, me thinks. ;D

being an electrician.. that is actually right side up in my own opinion...

we always put receptacles ground up in commercial installs..
one good reason would be, if something falls in between the plug and receptacle it would hit a ground prong first and not sure out the outlet.. otherwise it would hit the hot and neutral and short out the circuit...

-just my 2 cents :)

Danny Roadking said exactly the same thing. That truck came in very handy as the tank is 7 foot long needed an 8 foot bed.

I guess I stand corrected. I've never seen an outlet upside down like that, regardless of commercial or residential application...but that may be from lack of looking. Of course, I was pretty much just kidding around the whole thing anyhow...the installation looks great!

PS - I was also kidding about the truck. Paint peel was a problem of the late 80s and early 90s due to (I believe) a change in the chemical compounds of the primer...something to do with bad for the environment.

Man...people are so serious around here these days!

After seeing njb2345 Nick brother's SPS dominated tank running 16 T5s from Ice cap I'm very much considering running them on my tank instead of MHs. Man the colors were awsome. And no heat to worry about. I already have 8 t5s on other tanks and 3 660 ballests. All I will need is one more ballest and 8 more t5s.

here is bulbs he is using for the blue light.

What do you guys think?

I think T5's are a great idea. No heat and your electric bill will be lower.

The only downside is no shimmer.... but I'm not sure how important that really is for the health of the coral.

I've read reefers are using bright white LED or regular incandescent reptile bulbs to get the shimmer when exclusively using t5's.
