You have a thread! Looking good so far!

[Squared]

OMG it exists! You have a tank! I think you have finally gathered enough knowledge to make something nice

 

no offense, but...how are you going to keep all the coral you want on just those piles of rocks? IMO you should do some floating islands on the back pane for SPS, you know, like those magnet rocks. Maybe reinforce the rocks you have on the bottom with putty to make some caves and ledges to put coral.

[1.0reef]

SPS will be on the overflow.

#winning hehehe

I'll change the scape a bit, only the right big island, I was really going to make the sps seem like shelter for the damsels.

I'll post the pics of the Razor in a bit

[Squared]

but then you could have like 2 or 3 smallish SPS colonies, how big is the overflow? Don't forget the overflow will need to be cleaned every now and then. I wouldn't glue SPS there.

[1.0reef]

Tru, it's the CPR CS50, 300gph max, dims are 6.5in wide

I def want one of those magnetic rocks!

[Dark_ice]

can't wait to see this thing going with some corals and ect. looking good man!

Some pics are yellowish white because the led is on that setup (100% then 100% W and dimmed down blues)

[Zia]

Looking good. Love the fact that its rimless.

[1.0reef]

De rimming it was a PITA, at least I didn't slice open my finger when derimming a 5.5g.

[Euphyllia]

Cool! I like your planted tank.

 

Post a topic for your greenhouse! Or post pics in here!

[Squared]

i would try and get some pinoy angels for your freshwater, your tank looks perfect for a pair or for a few juveniles.

[1.0reef]

I will Euphy

I'm stuck between Angel or pair of Rams, the other fish will be 10 rummynose tetras, 10 cardinal tetras, 5 cories, 5 roseline sharks, and 1 big SAE. Heavy stocking, yes, but I have a 30g sump, plus a shit ton of plants.

Also I'm changing the scape a bit tonight, any advise? Only the big island will be changed.

[Squared]

Has this project been put to rest already? lol

[1.0reef]

Actually, yes, due to a combination of being in severe pain 24/7 and having a busy schedule.

I'm making changes now On the good side of news the project is only temporarily stopped, so that.

[1.0reef]

Edited original post

Another good thing: I get more time to work on some of my other projects.

[Squared]

Sorry to hear about your condition, hope it doesn't last too long.
