05XRunner Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Here is it filled up. I just tossed the sand and rocks in there and I still need to buy alot of live rock. I will probably have the beach portion on the wood done tonight. not the trees cause I have to order them but the sand will be there Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 awesome build. cant wait to see it completed. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dude it looks really good. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 yea I cant wait to see it done as well...Once I get all my rock I should be able to hid all the equipment with it so you wont really notice it at all.. I cant wait till monday when my pendant gets here so i can put some decent light on it. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well i didnt do anything with the beach part tonight, I ended up buying 10lb of LR so thats enough money on this thing for a while. I will slowly finish up the rest over next few weeks. Its still kinda cloudy and the fact that i was just messing around in the sand didnt help Link to comment
nanoty Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Awesome idea, I love outside the box type tanks. Can't wait to see what's next. Link to comment
coolwaters Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 wow that looks like a lot of rocks for 10lbs. i ended up getting 8lbs for my 7g but looks like it took over half of my tank... lol finally understood what your making. looks really nice btw. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 well I had about 5-7lb of rock already..but it wasnt that great..so I used it at the bottom Link to comment
coolwaters Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 well I had about 5-7lb of rock already..but it wasnt that great..so I used it at the bottom lol i was about to say... i was thinking those are some porous rock. XP Link to comment
Falcon_Punch Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Wow,This should be good! Nice work so far! I would've drilled the bottom for a suface skimming overflow and return. I want to do something like this now! Keep the updates coming! Link to comment

defekt Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 looks good. ive been planning something similar for awhile now, only with freshwater and live plants. heres my inspiration. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/photo-al...en-project.html Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 someone has alot of money for that. Woudl look soo much cooler SW though Link to comment
defekt Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i concur. what kind of problems would occur with SW and a waterfall? would salt creep cover everything? Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well you can make it just gently flow down the rocks instead of crashing onto them and into the water Link to comment
avalanche1201 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 this tank is awesome. are you going to have live plants in the tank as well? or just outside of it Link to comment
BlackSumbel Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Really nice idea. Looking really slick already. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 this tank is awesome. are you going to have live plants in the tank as well? or just outside of it yea I am gonna get some mangroves for it as well. Link to comment

patboone7 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Joining in for the coolness factor. Can't wait for more progress! Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Stupid light should have been on tonight. But the bunk ballast i was using for it wont work. So I guess it will be a little longer before I get my light on this thing. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 No Sir..I dont like it(Ren n Stimpy horse voice) Please dont mind the light on there..the ballast i have didnt work for the 150w..so i gotta order another one. thats just on there for now so I have something to look at Maybe once I get all the little palm trees and shurbs to make it look like a jungle and fill in the empty space it will look better. I think i might change the grass stuff. I think that might be making it look like arse Link to comment
