RENDOG Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Awesome tank. You re-created the real thing perfectly...there's was one post of yours that I thought it was another pic of you diving and it was actually your tank. I really really like it. Great Job. Link to comment

I've worked really hard on this one and it's turning out how I wanted it to look like. Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 UPDATE: My tank is even clearer than before so maybe the pics will look better, so I'll take new pics tomarrow for sure. Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well looks like my Tunze 6025 wavemaker idea won't work out since the 6025 is not compatable with a wavemaker. So I guess it's back to the drawing board, I'll have to figure something else out. Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 If any of you guys have any suggestions of a wavemaker system that costs less than $150 please let me know. Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 UPDATE: I pulled out a ton of rock from my NC12 and crushed it up with a hammer and chisel and put the rubble pieces in my 40br, so now the NC12 will have some room for the clown to go back in it so my 40br will be purely a caribbean species tank. Needless to say alot has changed in my 40br and I can't wait to post some pics of the new aquascape Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Heres the pics, hope you like em' Link to comment
Cam198 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 UPDATE: I moved the Ocellaris Clownfish to the 12gal. I moved my Coral Banded Shrimp to the 40br( I accidentally broke off his big claws in the process but im sure they'll grow back). I'm gonna shoot another vid of my tank tonight showing the CB shrimp and the new aquascape. Link to comment

Cam198 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 UPDATE: I got the gorgs today, they all arrived in good shape and were packaged perfectly. I got them all glued in place and they look fantastic! So here are the pics (btw after fiddleing with my camera for 20min I got it to stop taking the pics so dim so now they're more accurate to the real colors) PICS \ Link to comment
spanko Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Cam, I love this tank and it is getting better with every post. Do you think that you will gain any water clarity here or do you keep the water cloudy with the amount of whatever food you are dosing for all the varied gorgs? Link to comment

Do you think that you will gain any water clarity here or do you keep the water cloudy with the amount of whatever food you are dosing for all the varied gorgs? Thanks Ever since the Phyto died the water has been real cloudy but I just put some carbon in my sump so I think that should take care of most of the cloudiness. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's looking really amazing, most of the times you can't tell it's not the real thing! Link to comment
Cam198 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's looking really amazing, most of the times you can't tell it's not the real thing! Thanks =) I'm gonna work on a new Video/Movie of it when I get back from my 3 day trip to Wisconsin Link to comment
Quick Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Great pictures man, just keeps getting better. Like I said before, this tank is the real deal. Link to comment

Cam198 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 UPDATE: The new gorgs seem to be adjusting well. I've confirmed after having the lights on for a few hours today that the cloudiness has turned green, so I guess the phyto has made a come back So I decided to cut the lights back to 5 hours a day instead of the usual 10 for a while till I can get the phyto under control Link to comment
got2envy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 This tank is like I put a dive mask on and I am snorkeling in The Keys great idea for a tank! I can't wait to get home from work to see the vids...a royal gramma, neon gobies and some jawfish would look spectacular!! Maria Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 i love this tank.....so very awesome. Link to comment
Cam198 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 UPDATE: While I was gone for 3 days one of my most finicky gorgs melted 2'' of tissue off of three of the branches because of a lack of turbulent flow so I repositioned the powerheads and moved it to an area of higher flow and so far it has stopped receding and should grow over the receded areas in a few weeks I'm gonna start on the new vid soon and hopefully have it done by monday or tuesday.

Aliasnumber1 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Great biotope, is the tank really as loud as it sounds in the youtube vids though? Link to comment
