calvin415 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 oooh, Looks very nice! Can't wait for sand. Thanks! I now have 90lbs of sand in it, but I want another 30lbs... Pics will follow once I have the other 30 or if I get antsy before I can get the sand. well in that case, it sucks dont bother with it! heeee jokes it looks awesome, love the little caves and stuff, really naturalwhats happening with the white thing in the middle? god im envious lol that tank would look awesome with a school of chromis or anthias Thanks, the white thing is now gone, covered with a plug. I'll try to get something in there for a bioload in the next week or two. He said he was plugging and removing it later. Looking good Calvin a little sparse in my opinion. Personally I like to see varied levels in aquascaping. Otherwise though it looks really good. I do like the open space you've created towards the end there. Yep, it's gone. Yeah I thought it was a little sparse as well, but I thought about it and I figure most corals I'll pick up will have a base rock to them anyway... Quote Link to comment

Cant wait to see that. just wondering are the lights almost done?? i know it will even more different once those puppys are on it. the thing looks great. Not fast enough... Lights are still a light at the end of the tunnel. That is the next project just waiting on the time. Perhaps this week. PICS PICS PICS PICS ! I can't wait to see it with sand in it !!! Soon enough, I'll be picking up the last bag of sand tomorrow night (as long as it's not sold out) so you can expect pics on Tuesday if the dust is settled (should be 3 bags were clear in less than 24hrs). ooooooooo!!! sand!!!! another update i can look foward too!!! thanx again for the suspense!! its like waiting for the new season of 24!!! good job brodda!! thanx!! keep it up!!! any thoughts onm livestock yet? going for any type of theme?? LOL! Livestock is still in the air, I was strongly considering a bunch of cuttles, but seeing all this sand makes me want to go with a bunch of leopard wrasses... I guess only time will tell. I'm hoping to throw in a school of chromis to put some poo in the tank and see how the seeding of the LR goes. I have 1 piece of actual LR, everything else was dry so I need to get that bacteria spread. Thanks for the feedback everyone, hard to believe so many people are following this. Quote Link to comment

LOL! yeah I'm very lucky to have a wife that allows me to do what ever I want when it comes to a tank, she get's into it enough to know the names of everything, but leaves it up to me to decide what to put in it. Still hoping to get started on the canopy in the near future... SAND!!! thats cause his water hasnt finished getting wet. calvin you big tease!!! great to see sand! wow, were getting excited over sand!! I know, it's sand, you'd think I filled it with Gem Tangs with the excitement level. If you didn't see the post above, I added 1 more bag of sand tonight giving me 120lbs totals, now I just need the haze to clear... Hopefully it will be enough sand. Thanks for all the support and feedback everyone! Quote Link to comment
Sea Slug Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Looks Great Calvin............Can't wait for the Fish and Coral stage , gonna be some tank then ! Quote Link to comment
East1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 so are you still putting the chromis in to get some bioload in there? if u do it may help to underskim and just use a bottle of bacteria culture, to give the bacteria more "food" to grow on, should cycle and spread the bacteria faster anyway keep up wit the updates Quote Link to comment
