SmartaZaWhiP Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 This was the 7bow before I changed to my 20H. I was outgrowing the space in my 7bow with the purple Gorgonian and didn't feel as though I had a deep enough sand bed for my tank, so I "moved on up" to the larger 20H As you can see, this was a messy project, but within five hours, two skimmers, five power heads with sponges, and one power filter with carbon, it cleared up. Also there is a pic of the intensity of light in the seven bow (97watts PC) to the now (112w) on the 20H. Finished product** <---I KNOW I KNOW THE TRANSFORMER FOR MY 15W ACTINIC IS IN THE WRROOONNGG PLACE. I'VE SINCE MOVED IT!!!..LOL AND ALLTHE PUMPS AREN'T IN THERE EITHER Link to comment

SmartaZaWhiP Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Thanks for the complements little boy *****.<---Sorry to the rest of the people reading this, but I had to. My tank is NEVER finished and perhaps I should have waited to post my pictures, but this guy's destructive comments put me over the edge. Sorry again! Link to comment

No, I am just being a di*k too...I actually like the shrooms and I am sure mine looked worse when I was setting it up. Post some more pics once it clears up a bit. Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Come on poeple give the guy a break. SmartaZaWhiP: The small mini bow tank looked pretty decent to me. I'm sure the new tank will look a whole lot better once it clears up. The new tank may look a little empty at first but once you get a few more corals etc, it should look pretty good. Post some fresh pics of the new tank soon. Good luck with the new tank. Link to comment
SmartaZaWhiP Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE COMMENTS. I HAVE BEEN DOING REEF TANKS FOR 10 YEARS AND REALIZE THAT IT TAKES A SEC FOR EVERYTHING TO GET ACLIMATED AGAIN. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THE TRANSITION PICS FOR FUN. I AM CHANGING THE LIGHT SETUP TO INCLUDE A 65W PC ACTINIC BULB AND A 175W 6500K HALIDE FOR INTENSE LIGHTING FOR MY PINK TIP BROWN ACUPORA<---WRONG SPELLING CORRAL AS WELL AS THE MONTIPORA. I WILL SOON POST ALL THE NEW PICS WITH SOME OF THE PUMPS REMOVED. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE POSITIVE COMMENTS. Link to comment
tow-up Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 smartaz have i like the look of the 20h. have you considered getting a canopy to hide your lights? i had my lights like that on my old 5 gallon and found it looked alot neater with a canopy. i want to build a canopy for my 26 bow, but cant bend wood =/. figures anyways im looking forward to seeing updated pics Link to comment
danano Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 For MH, you might want to consider using 10000K rather than 6500K. The latter is probably better for growth but your tank may appear somewhat yellowish, even with the 65W PC actinic. Thanks for sharing with us your work-in-progress. Look forward to your new pics.

SmartaZaWhiP Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 thanks for the comments, I have since moved back to the seven gallon bow Link to comment
wetworx101 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 You all better be ashamed of yourselves...were supposed to help each other and encourage each other to do new things, now you just syifled his creative process and made him go back to the bow. Nice job guys. I didnt say anything because I find it useless to just write "nice tank DOOD" twenty times after a pic is posted...but considering it was a work in progress...it was looking good. 'Tub of ######'...whoever said that needs to be put in one... Link to comment
Nishant3789 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 wowza i nominate you for messiest tank area of the year award! it DOES look murky in the pictures, but im sure itll look great after it clears up. Link to comment
LIVEROCKER Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 hey man good luck on your 20 high.i myself have a 25 high.i like the tall look(even thogh the lighting issue is a pain in the @$$)just remember you have to stock lighter on fish with a high than a long/less ground+territorial fin nipping. my only dick comment is i think you should fix up that whole lighting mess.it doesnt look very sound or safe,even temporarily,but besides that good luck man.post some more pics when youre all set.
