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.

yeah im running a 20L sump..i havent built a fuge out of it yet..just a skimmer, return pump,and some live rock..need to put some baffles in it so i cant put some cheato in there..thanks for the compliment

What is the plastic stuff on the side of your tank? 1st and 2nd pic.

 

[RickM61]

that is my standoff pipes..thats the only thing i dont like about this tank..its drilled in the bottom..so you cant hide the pipes..my goal is to go up to a 4 foot 90 gal and drill it in the back..

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

 

[RickM61]

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..

Rick

 

[cesstern]

Yeah...I won a free frag from you. I win.

 

[RickM61]

lol i plan on sharing when the tank grows out..im fraging my big zoa rock later today

 

[atlantic reefer]

the tank looks great

 

[RickM61]

thanks everyone..this tank is finally coming around the way i want it..plans are to add 2 more banks of t-5 ho so i can start some SPS in the tank..

[nicco0315]

the tank looks like its coming together well. and the new ricordea is very pretty. i'll have to put that along with my list with the sun coral.

 

[RickM61]

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..
