Giga Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) New FTS ---------Original 1st post------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New home=new tank So the tank will be inset into the wall- thats what all the contruction is in the finished garage/tank room is for. The tank will be 48x30x12" rimless so about 74 ish gallons. The bonsai you see on the left side will be my black mangrove that I've been growing since my first tank. It will be very modern as there will be little rock with one or two red mangrove growing to the right or left depending where the boomie will be. There will be a lot of negitive space in this and will be lit by all LED's Insperation Link http://reefbuilders.com/2011/01/03/nice-vi...ng-inspiration/ Edited June 15, 2014 by Giga 17 Quote Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Looks like you've been watching too many home improvement shows. I'm upping my stock on HD and Lowe's based on the potential of this build alone. That's way too much demo for a nano....... Quote Link to comment

19jeffro83 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's awesome. Gonna be a good build it seems. I love my darts and vivs also. Really cool animals and a bit more affordable than our reef tanks. Quote Link to comment
