ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Depends on what brand they are I guess... way back when I had the FNI T5s and moved to the ATI bulbs I was converted to a brand name bulb buyer for life. There is a huuuge difference between the two lol Link to comment

ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Just found your thread, following along on this, I'm setting up a 40 to. Hope I can nail my rock work like yours, tank looks great! Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it but coastie put it together. I just sat there and handed him the rock lol. This may be the first tank I never re-scape though lol! If I don't like the 20k bulbs that come with it I will be ordering some Phoenix 14Ks... definitely first choice. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well then go coastie lol but I like the look of the 14k bulbs as well Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Me too. That's why I think a 14k w/ more blue LEDs would be a cool combo... I really like the 20k look! Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 He assisted, we had discussions about where to place the rock. I was a lot of just sorta tossing this rock here and this rock there, not very technical. Link to comment

When you think about it, the two island look may be the easiest in terms of actually throwing it together lol. Still can't believe you sold my leopard wrasse :-( I'll never forgive you. Think of how happy she is in the 90 she went to though! Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's kinda my game plan, pile it in and hope for the best, seems when I try to plan it out of never turns out like I thought Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 They are probably my favorite wrasses lol. I would have kept her in a heartbeat if she wasnt going to get so big. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I want the island look for the openness look of it as well as isolating an RBTA for the clowns Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 TBH I like the "box of rocks" look, but wanted to give this a shot. I'm thinking of putting something in the middle but IDK what Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If you could find the right rock a bridge with an acan garden in just the foreground of it might be cool. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 no bridge.... acan garden ftw Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Aaron and I were just talking about an Acan garden for it I like the bridge idea too... but you're right it would need the perfeect rock to look good. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I been finding good pieces of lace rock for a bridge but it don't flow with my Fiji. Acan gardens are sweet. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 SPS EVERYWHERE!! FUZZY STICK KINGDOM!! Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Haha, we'll see what happens. I think a montipora and acan only tank would be cool, for some reason I like montis more than Acros. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 He's got 2 x 150W lights coming the sps shall come I'm sure. Link to comment
