mew Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 she's a beauty. wish my tank was big enough for one. Link to comment
Maeda Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 I picked up my long lost friends. THANK YOU EZCO! That's Lokani, Undata, and Pink Lemonade. They look a little ill now. :\ PRAY FOR THEM! I need a magnet cleaner really badly. My tank is going through its ugly phase. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I cant wait to see how this tank fills out. I love the look of the deep shallow tanks. Not that 20" is shallow, but compared to the other dimensions it kind of is. Keep it up! Also, that Wantabei is gorgeous. Great choice! Link to comment
slashxBoard Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 My tank is going through its ugly phase. pah! yeah, ok, ugly phase Link to comment
svvad Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I guess you don't need brakes on a track ? The tank is looking great, nice build! I didn't know you were into track bikes too, here's mine: http://www.chrismarks.com/bicycles/mercier3.jpg Link to comment
Maeda Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 A good friend of mine brought over his SLR so I could try my hand at taking REAL photos... I definetly need to get a real camera and start practicing! I DID manage to get a few acceptable shots i'd say, after about 1000000 attempts. My weird Pink Lemonade. It looks dead, but all the polyps come out, and the skins there.. :\ BROWN TOWN. <3<3<3<3<3 Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 awesome setup! beautiful fish! Link to comment
SnakPak Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Your DIY skills are unmatched anywhere. Simply amazing! What you've done on a tight budget is mind boggling. I will be following along. I did like the original rock scape a lot better though. Any plans for sand, or will you always be going bare bottom? Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That looks so good, cant wait to see it in a few months. Link to comment
East1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That looks so good, cant wait to see it in a few months. word sandbed? Link to comment
Maeda Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm still deciding about the sand. When the nutrients are so low the corals start looking like easter eggs, i'll probably attempt some sand to dirty up the tank a little, but right now we're at 7500 gph... so yah... Link to comment
epicfish Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Those be some sexy corals, J. Link to comment
Maeda Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 That rockwork is perfect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio Thanks. this actually brings up an interesting thing I planned for the rock work. I used the classical approach to design and just pasted on the golden section, and tried to fit my scape to it as best as I could. Unoriginal yes. The display tank is based on eastern classic proportion of 2:1, seen in japanese design and architecture, when viewed from the front, but on the golden section when viewed from the top down( I couldn't do a perfect golden section for those of you that cry foul, because I really really really did not want to go much over 100g). so.. I was hoping I could fit golden section in a golden section framed by the nice 2:1 ratio. It looks like im on the right track... now I just have to get my corals to grow into the layout. Those be some sexy corals, J. ...the nicest piece in the tank is yours after all. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Interesting approach towards rock and coral placement. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I start a tank. Nice work, btw! Link to comment
Phixion Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I plan to set my 30g back up similarly. Looks awesome, Maeda!! Link to comment
