Very nice. I am just starting a 52 litre marine aquarium, so I understand your excitement. Have fun!

I'm really excited for this build, I saw this tank on display recently and it was very nice looking.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the build

Stand is built. It’s nice but the door pops open. I need to get a magnet closure. For now, I added some Velcro to hold it closed.

Is the stand levelled?

 

[griss]

Looks good. As Sean mentioned make sure it’s level.

I have checked it. Side to side it is perfect. Front to back it is a hair off. I plan to mess with that tomorrow.

But. Even when the stand is flat on its back, the door still stays open. The hinges are very tight. I greased them but it still is near the same. I’ll grease them again tomorrow too.

Nothing fast in this hobby….

Just got my kraken lid today. It looks and feels beautiful. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit. Front to back, it is off by a few millimeters and meant fit flush. I have sent them a message, hopefully they make it right


Upon further inspection, I ordered the Red Sea max nano, as I thought I had from the order from BRS. I ordered the lid before I had the tank in hand.

It turns out, I got the Red Sea Max Nano G2 and it is a different order from BRS.

 

[jennystyyle]

Makes me think, maybe BRS sent the wrong stand

 

[reefing102]

I believe the RedSea is designed to have a floating front style look, so the front glass overhangs the stand door.

As for the lid, I’ve never had an issue with Kraken, so they should be able to make it right for you.

 

[griss]

Hope you get the lid straightened out.

 

[jennystyyle]

Top notch customer service from Kraken. Quick response

The tank should overhang the front doors not the back as @reefing102 suggested.
