New FTS, after seeing so many awesome rockscapes I had to change mine around. Now I am a lot happier with this one. the rocks are off the glass and now there are way more spots for frags.

 

What you think?

Love the new aquascape - Lot of room to play. At the very top it looks like something is hanging off - is that a coral?

 

I did check out things with a flashlight and there are a few more little buggers running around.

 

BTW the Frogspawn and Xenia are AWESOME! I have to say that I like that new zoa frag - color is sweet...

Thanks

 

ya the top is a mushroom attached to some rubble it just sits there or gets knocked off. Night time is a good time for randon critters.

 

 

 

So I got some 1/2" conduit to start bending for my pendant CF light. first I have to make a new enclosure for the bulbs.

The zoas and paly is growing in pretty well I think. These are growing under 20 watt 50/50 x 2 CF screw in lights. At this point I dont dose anything extra. I use seachem reef salt every week with a 1 gallon water change.

Just got a chance to jump back in and look - did you get the lights up?

 

The pics are great - if you ever get really tired of having those zoas in the tank you can always ship them to me...

 

:D

 

Besides with the growth already - you will have more than enough to spare.

Great looking tank and fantastic pictures. I like your current aquascape, it suits the tank really well.

 

 

Hey thanks

 

I like the scape too. More 'shelves' for corals (not a money saving move lol. Im not really using them that well at the moment cause everything is growing out on my small frag rack. I can post a pic if anyone wants to see it.

The EMT strap with conduit pipe 1/2 \\\".

the light detail.

The light pivots off to the left so it leaves the tank open for maintenace. I cant believe how much easier this has made doing anything on the tank.

Finished product. pivots back over the tank.

This is an enclosure for 50/50 PC bulbs that are running 40 watts. I will be replacing these with a 4x24 t5 unit but will still be able to use the pendant with the new light.

The wires will be covered up by a plastic wrap that is used for cars but keeps it all neat and covered and the wires that are used for hanging will be clipped to clean it up.
