What led bars are those?

Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk
Believe it or not cheapos from amazon. 11.99 a piece all four with plugs was 54$ cheap brackets from Wal-Mart and smart switch for on and off.

LEDENET 12" 18LEDs 5050 Blue... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OP3P0XA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Not bad for a quick cheap solution. So far all corals seem super happy. They also have some full spectrum bars for 14.99 or something. Waterproof and aluminum. 2 on from 9am-2pm 4 on from 2pm to 8pm then back to 2 from 8pm to 11pm. I got the 12in they have some 18s as well. Depending on how these go thinking of using em on a few other builds.

Some updates from a recent score and tank pics with progress. About to throw a smatfarm g3 on the tide pool tank for some ramp up and down. Will move 2 bars to the 20g for more spread. All and all pretty happy with the turn out.

nice tanks... diggin ur shroom collection!
Thank you I appreciate it now if i could just get this 200g set up already.Idk shrooms are amazing lmao hahaha but seriously the coloring and variance is awesome. The three tanks all have things that grow amazing and some things that don't looking forward to the bigger tank thats for sure. Seen your around the Loveland area. Might have to link up got some things I don't mind doing a dbtc on if interested. Thanks for checking out the build.

Well all mesh lids are done. Rainy days are fantastic. Gfo changed water change later on all three tanks. Start finding the spot for the 90g. The 90g will have all the inhabitants from the 20g minus the clown fish and all the inhabitants from the tidepool tank. Getting a 20g long so i will make that a frag holding tank and get the tidepool, 20g tall, and 20g long hooked into a sump for better filtration. Slowly but surely getting it going soon enough the 200g will be rolling and a 90g long frag tank on top of everything else.

Well today has been a day. Went to grab se things from a buddy in longmont for my wife to have a mild episode and had to rush her to the ER. Was hoping to get all my fragging done and the 20g long set up to hold the frags. Was going to throw some sump rock in the 20g long to do a rolling start to be able to have the room. Gonna be postponed til tomorrow I am thinking. Hope everyone has had a fantastic day.

Took a drive and grabbed something that i probably didnt need but def. Wanted. The era of the 180g this tank will be acro specific with the 220 being a mixed. Excited to get it rolling. Should have the 180 up before the 220 basically has everything needed to get it wet. Had @kchristensen8064 stop by with some beauties for hammers and octospawn and excited for them to adjust. Hope everyone had a good Sunday Funday!!!! Keep on reefin on!!!

20g done and ready for plumbing and water 20g long with drilled dual returns and overflow. Stand almost done for the tide pool and this guy then time to start running the sump filtration and big water change to get nutrient levels down. Will be easier with total water volume and sump as opposed to hobs. Running around today got me tired time to sit and relax a little bit.
