Gilman Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 T? I love it too thanks CJ most of the original frags were mounted to the main rockwork and have since grown in from there. TiGs its got a CSL 32watt Smart Light above it. caja Thanks for the comments, Gil Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 beautiful....i hope my tank fills out like yours Link to comment
Gilman Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 ChrizzleMarksizzle thanks man, that means alot comin from my humble fearless leader. SLOreefer, I am a firm believer in the hands off approach. In my experience I just let it grow, and it has matured nicely. Gil Link to comment

T?@7 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 How long has it been in action? Link to comment
Gilman Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 T?@7 It's been going since 05/30/2002. There are pics on my site going back to the beginning of the setup so you can check out what it looked like back then. Here is a picture just after adding live rock... For contrast...

jflysmooth Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hey Gil, is that a valonia in the last picture on the first post? That huge bubble? Link to comment
Kalanianaole Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I'm not familiar with the guts of the minibow. On your site you say you just slipped the CSL retrofit into the lightstrip. Did it already have a slash guard? Or what did you to to splashproof the lights? Link to comment
tam Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Any chance youre gonna frag anything Gil? [zoo's and ricordia] cough cough Very beautiful tank, one of my inspirations. [i went the 10g route instead though] But I often think about setting up a 7g minibow... Kind of hard not to when I see 1 everyday at work. BAH!! -Tam Link to comment
HawaiianNano Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Gil where did you get all of your frags. Im in hawaii and I envy you tank! I saw your tank and I had to have one. Its hard to get frags to Hawaii. There are a few that wants to ship it. I pretty much coypies your set up. Is your lights enough light? I have that same light on my 5.5 Link to comment
