Re: 60 Gallon Reef
Looks Good. What lighting do you got on it? Also are you running a fuge/sump underneath?
This IMO is the right place. You can sort of make it a build by posting updated pics and any new additions (if any) like your doing with your 3 gallon in the nano section.

Re: 60 Gallon Reef
The first pic you posted on 8/21 looks different than the new pics you posted today. Are they the same?

Re: 60 Gallon Reef
you would be correct in that statement that they are not the same tank..the first one is acrylic and it scratched to bad so i went with 1/2 glass for this tank..and it is also 6 inches higher..the pic i had on 8/21 was taken in Nov of 2007 ..i just couldnt find the pic..finally found it on a SD card..and i just took pic's of the new tank today..very observant..

Re: 60 Gallon Reef
yeah if i could figure out how to get rid of these standoff pipes i would like it alot better..only way to fix it though is tear it down and patch the bottom and drill the back..if im going to do that them im just going to get a 4' 90 gallon already drilled in the back..thanks for the compliments Nicco..
