JDigital Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 very cool tank!!! what kind of silicome did you use in the sump? it looks white, which i'm pretty sure IS NOT reef safe. I think it has chemicals in it to fight mold that are no good for coral. It was GE Silicone... can't remember which "model".. I just know that I did buy the wrong stuff originally, and had to go back and exchange it... I just happened to pick white as the color. Link to comment
JDigital Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Anybody up for some aquascaping? 1. 2. 3. Now I just need to get some sand in there.. Link to comment
nematoad Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Is there any way that you could obscure the loc line? I think it kind of ruins the no-powerhead thing with the nozzles prominently sticking up in the front. Maybe a piece or two of LR rubble in front to block them from view? Besides that, fantastic tank! Link to comment
Aqua newbie Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He can disguise the loc line by growing some GSP or zoas on it. This tank is so cool. more pics! Link to comment

Yea, that is sorta my plan... something like that anyways, prolly Zoas, GSP just seems to take over to fast... plus the sand bed will come up the locline to about where the fanned section clips on. so it won't take much to hide them..

JDigital Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 So, I liked my old aquascaping... but it DID have a few things that bothered me, which I rectified today, and now I am REALLY liking my new scape. 8 Photo Update! Link to comment
JDigital Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Not much of an update, but now that my sand has settled after adding it, and raising up my CL intake, I fired up the CL again, and just wanted to show the surface agitation... I think I should be good for oxygenation. I'll try and get another vid when the lights are on... I've only got them running 2hrs/day right now.. Link to comment

JDigital Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 So, I never planned on having anything but a small clean up crew in the tank for atleast another 1-1.5 months, but with my 10G contest tank breaking on me this morning, I had to save some stuff out of the tank. So I swapped over the GSP tower and positioned it next to the left locline with the plan of it overgrowing it and hiding it, Also pulled the Frogspawn out as well as a small patch of zoa's (next to the right locline).. and then I had to move the Pom Pom crab and the Black Hawaiian Percula (as he would get sh*t kicked in my 20G by the Angel).. The rest of the corals from the 10 are in my 20 on the frag rack, while I decide what to do with them. Anyways, quick FTS and a shot of my Pompom crab. Link to comment

JDigital Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Your tank looks good! Can't wait to see how it matures btw I put some pics of my 65 gallon project! Thanks man.. I've been dropping in on ur thread, its looking good!. Starting to swap a few pieces out of my 20G that I want to keep in my 75G, so figured it was time some pics. My very unhappy (with me) Torch.. Bright Green Yumas (its starting to split and spawn, just can't get good pics) also a red yuma in the background.. Finally, My Orange and Green Tongas.. Got it when it was just one, and it has now split into 4.. :mrgreen: Link to comment
JDigital Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Couple Semi-FTS shots from today... Pulled everything out of my 20G in preparation for shutting it down. Added a Pagoda Cup (left side below Monti), Red Monti Cap, Crocea Clam, Birdnest, Roommates Digitata. Link to comment
