  2. 42 Gallon Hex build

    The first photo below shows the post attached to the bottom inner frame assembly. The post are made from 2X4's that have had 1/4 inch planed from the broad side surface. Also the outer side of the post are trimmed down to 3/4" to match a 1X4. This is for attaching the side panels. They match the ones from the canopy which used 1X4 for the post since they do not bear the load of the tank full of water. The inner side of the post have been trimmed at an angle to allow a Sump to be inserted in ...

    Below are photo's of the parts for the stand. It is similar to the canopy in that has a inner frame which is actually the stand holding the tank. The back panel is a cabinet with 2 doors. One on each side. This will house the power bars for the pumps and other devices. It will also house the power supply's for the LED's. Behind the front door of the Stand will be the controller and modules. There are two doors on each side to gain access under the stand.

It also powers cooling fans for the LED heat sink. The 24 volts is for the Royal Blue and warm white LED's. Also there are ...
