nismo_sky32 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Pics as requested! That looks better than I expected. The white background blends right in with the wall. Looking good!Super swifffffft !!! I wasn't sure about the white background,but damn that looks good man !!! I like how with those powerheads you can turn it to create different flow,which is nice. With the height of that tank,I definitely think the powerhead will help. So have you gotten your scape figured out yet ?! That's what I'm waiting to see next likewise. Scapes are my one of my favorite things with this hobby Are you going bare bottom with this one? Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I kinda hope not,with the stand no offense. I just think it would clash,it might nt be that bad once it's filled with water. I love scaping tanks,it's so much fun. Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The stand looks sweet with the racing stripes but a reef isn't a reef without sand. It would be added beneficial surface area for the small tank too Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yeah very true. Personally,I cannot stand sand,it's a detritus trap and I prefer bare bottom,so much easier to keep nutrients down especially in my case since I have a bunch of sps. But once it gets wet,you may not be able to see the stripes really. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nice setup so far. Followed you! how big is that pico powerhead from front to back? I wanted to add a bit of flow in my tank and thinking of using that power head but didn't want to take up some real estate.Thx!And the powerhead It's really small. Ill measure it after work or tomorrow Super swifffffft !!! I wasn't sure about the white background,but damn that looks good man !!! I like how with those powerheads you can turn it to create different flow,which is nice. With the height of that tank,I definitely think the powerhead will help. So have you gotten your scape figured out yet ?! That's what I'm waiting to see next Thx man. And not yet. Ill plan to make a scape on Wednesday. That looks better than I expected.

I love sand too much The stand looks sweet with the racing stripes but a reef isn't a reef without sand. It would be added beneficial surface area for the small tank too Well mine is going to be a very thin layer of sand. I doubt it will do anything for filtration. More for looks. Yeah very true.

I have bimini/fiji pink in it now and love it. Not bad with the detrius and I like watching my snails bury themselves in it. Now the seafloor special grade in my temporary setup on the underhand...pain in the @$$. It was dusty, traps detrius and looked dirty even when it was new. Are you using sand from your 45?

Angel<3Nanos Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 killah brah Ooh kill em! I tried BB on my current tank at first and I couldn't get used to it.

It's doing so well. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm sure you can get enough sand outta the 40 without even knowing any was gone lol. How deep is your sandbed ? Why would you get rid of it and break it down ?! If it's doing good and have no reason to do so,then I wouldn't man. Do you have a link to the thread ? Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you really need to breakdown the 45, take your fave zoas, maybe a few easy sps that you really like and maybe a small goby! Make the most of this tank. It's really coming along nicely Link to comment
