Weren't you going to set up a 60-P last year around this time?

[Jacobnano]

Guys, where can I get my hands on these? I've seen one website but couldn't find this model on it.

 

Are these similar to GreenLeaf tanks? They're local and I know that I like them. Thinking of replacing my 10G...

And then it transferred to this, which also never went anywhere

Looks like this one is going to take off though

[fiction101]

What happened to the one you drilled?

[lgreen]

Sweet tank!

 

Stocking plans?

 

Not sure. Probably a little bit of everything.

 

What happened to the one you drilled?

 

Never drilled it. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

 

 

 

On another note, I'm not terribly impressed with live rock I received from Premium Aquatics today. Normally their nano rock is amazing, but what I received today was pretty disappointing. Like 2/3 of it was this flat weird garbage base rock that I couldn't even really use. I managed to stack it in, but really I'm not happy with the aquascaping. I emailed them about it a few minutes ago, so maybe we can work something out.

the failmarda has begun her departure. Are there minerals added to your water admiral?

Looks nice Loren. Can't wait to see it progress. I like where it sits between the furniture like that.

[reeftankguy]

I love watching these ADA's take off... Looks great so far!

 

i'ma get me a 45c soon!!!

[Crackerballer]

When are you adding your light, heater, circulation, etc?

Thanks. I like it there too. It's cool being able to see all 4 sides of the tank.

Thanks. Sweet! Good luck.

I did not include them in the picture, but temporarily there is a Jager 50w heater and two koralia 1's. The koralias will be replaced w/ the mp10 on monday and the jager heater w/ an inline heater once funds are available to order the canister/in-line heater/lily pipes.

 

Would anyone be willing to provide some feedback on the rock/aquascaping? Premium Aquatics is willing to completely replace the rock. That is extremely generous of them and so I don't want to do it unless completely necessary, as it will cost them quite a bit of money to do with shipping.

 

Thanks

I like the scape! Is there enough rooms for lots of corals though?

 

Are you adding live sand? How deep?

Thanks. Yes, I've got a 20lb bag of arag-alive special grade reef sand due to be here monday. Should come out at around 1-1.5" deep.

 

And yes, there is plenty of room for coral :

Needs more or larger pieces of rock IMO. I would almost consider that rubble. I like what you did with it though

This makes two posts today where I've agreed 100% with what Jason has said. Great minds... I guess.
