sounds to be about the same dimensions as a 30 breeder only rimless... NICE! what's the glass thickness? and are you seeing any bowing?

Great JOB!
pyrocreep
Very nice build. I love the rock work. It's nice and spread out, but not the standard drop two rocks in and call them islands approach.
got2envy
It def has a great scape!
can't wait to get mine ninja.gif
SoCalDude
Awesome build. Those corals look amazing.
cruzH20polo
wow!
dirtwheelsfl
thanks guys... ya i think depth and shallowness is where its at, the 20L was too vertical looking.

latteslave: 30 breeder minus 6 inches of length... its 1/4" glass, if youre looking for a bow you can see it slightly, but not enough to worry me. supposedly the max depth for 1/4" rimless is 14", but the 12 i have looks alot deeper cuz it doesnt have a thick black band around it.

Damn man that looks good, i gotta come by and see it sometime!!

Hey Chris!
I just wanted to thank you for building me such a cool tank (my first shallow rimless) and NR will have to wait for this one lolz
I will FW test it this week...I owe u your blue cloves fo' sho' cool.gif
Thanks again and nice seeing u again!
If you go to fish bowl (bowling, beer and frag swapping for the club hahahaha) lemme know I will bring the frag with me.
latteslave
ahhh! Got it - misread the dimensions... This does look awesome! I am guessing you are using the same light - are you still getting good coverage on the 4 bulb?

This looks great!
Billdemart
That's a beautiful tank. See you got a FS. I want a neon green toadstool like that bigtime.
dirtwheelsfl
latteslave: yes it seems to cover alright, i raised it up some which i think helped.

forog tto ask you maria wat are you gonna put in the tank?
got2envy
I dunno yet, it will be a little while before I set it up tho...maybe switch over my 29g...the corals on the bottom will get more light than they are now since the 29g is tall...my caps and SPS are also outgrowing that tank quickly as well as the xenia...I have to do something about those before they take over which means rescaping the tank, and we all know it never comes out the same twice sleep.gif
dirtwheelsfl
ya i dont know how i did it, but i just dropped the rocks in once and it came out perfect, i think anyway haha
got2envy
Update tongue.gif I am finally water testing mine today rolleyes.gif
lakshwadeep
Great scaping! I like how some of the colonies appear to be growing right from the sand.
dirtwheelsfl
i hope it passed the test? whens the transfer?
got2envy
it did!! left it overnight smile.gif

gotta figure out how to hang my Sundial..you got pix of yours?

transfer soon...I gotta buy some new sand and new bulbs happy.gif

not looking forward to the transfer tho...
dirtwheelsfl
^ i can take some... but my setup is really one-off for the desk i had to mount it to. its just some 1 inch emt electrical conduit bent to a 90 with 2 holes drilled in each pipe, with 4 holes in the light, connected by some cable with crimps on both ends.

adjustability is definitely an issue with it though, actually impossible withoutcutting the cable and taking the light apart. i would do it different next time for sure, probably just use one of those hanging kits, youre still gonna have to drill holes in the light tho.

only transfer casualty i had was a broken digi colony good luck! fingersx01.gif
got2envy
haha ok...I will figure out how to hang it...also how do u like the powerbrites? I was gonna get 2 of the 460 nm...is the shimmer visually noticeable over the T5's?
dirtwheelsfl
yes very noticeable, looks like a halide. the higher they are the better they spread though. everything glows insane too...
got2envy
Cool! cause I do miss the shimmerz tongue.gif

i will def be getting 2 of these smile.gif

you don't have a video of your tank do u?

no, way too high tech for me haha. LFS oughtta have em to check out tho right? try ebay, i got both for like 60 or something...
got2envy
snap...forgot about ebay...I was looking at DF&smith...they are like $110 for both with the link and power supply.
dirtwheelsfl
tanks been on autopilot for a while, havent done a waterchange in probably 3 months, whoops. everything seems to be doing good, other than a lil bubble algea and flatworms..and starting to run outta room. probably gonna move/delete/trade some colonies around soon









dirtwheelsfl
RIP green birdsnest, hydnophora, and half of my orange cap. scraped some piece of crap green palys off a rock and i guess they let loose some chemical warfare. mostly everything else looks fine though thank god.
dirtwheelsfl
some crappy shots







got2envy
Whoa! what light are you running now?

Looks great!
dirtwheelsfl
thanks! picked up an outer orbit on the classifieds here with a phoenix. 2 blue plus, 1 current 460 and 1 current 420.

left sides looking a little barren now, i want to fill it in with something just dont know what yet. hows your 28?
