Smallreef's 50g build thread!

Ohh I think I got it down now...I could do a class,lol it is kinda hard the first time figuring out how much length the bend takes and to turn it backwards and opposite (kinda like crown moulding!,lol)

 

Can I join that class too? :cool: I'm thinking of using the same stuff or similar for my Evergrow light as well. What kind of piping is it? Is it electrical conduit? Instead of bending, I'm think of just using fittings to connect the horizontal w/ the verticals and attach to the stand at the sides rather than the back (can't access the back, that's why), maybe not as elegant as yours though....

It look like them type of thing that if someone tells you the little tricks up front, it will save a lot of time wasted by trial and error. A class would be cool!

Picked up a few things from Incredible Corals last night....

Got an awesome elegance, a frag of grape frogspawn, a gorgonian frag and a cabbage leather frag (kinda hidden). Plus a current FTS until a few new things get here from ERC on Tuesday,lol

It is conduit...and very easily bent...

Are you using 1/2" conduit or 3/4"? There is 1" but it doesn't look like it's that thick. Thanks!

3/4 was the biggest would fit in my pipe bender....

 

Ok. Thank you! I'll go w/ 3/4" myself since it looks super solid w/ 2 lights on your setup. I appreciate your response.
