lakshwadeep Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 but the focal point is right in the middle ^^^ If we're getting into proportions, then an offset focal point is usually more dynamic than a center one. Link to comment

That shrimp looks awesome and I hope it isn't a bad one You should check mine out, in my signature. yeah i love the current light. the only downside is the noisy @$$ fan! Link to comment
CL_ Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 [thread jack]Do you have any left over sand or anything? My tank holds water http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...191017&st=0 [/thread jack] Link to comment
Reefer Al Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 17lb rock 1/2lb rubble for some accent yeah i love the current light. the only downside is the noisy @$$ fan! omg I know. That fan is ridiculous. Some people have gotten two weaker fans and mounted one on both sides. It drastically reduces the sound. I'm sure this would be very easy as long as the current across this stock fan is enough to drive two smaller ones. anyway I think your tank looks really clean and thanks for checking out mine.

CL_ Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sooo, any updates? Did you get some smaller rock? What kind of lr is that? Link to comment

I loved mine on my 10. You can grow anything under it. I raised lots of Maxima Clams under mine. On the fan thing. I hooked it up to a tiny thermostat and it would turn on and off as needed. I had it set to turn on at 85 I believe. Worked great. Link to comment
CL_ Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 What kind of sand did you get? Ocean direct has two kinds, original, and "oolite" which is very fine sand apparently, but I would think that it would compact? Link to comment
racechase Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Sooo, any updates? Did you get some smaller rock? What kind of lr is that? i chiseled my rocks up today, pics down below!

What kind of sand did you get? Ocean direct has two kinds, original, and "oolite" which is very fine sand apparently, but I would think that it would compact? i got the original. oolite looked too much like cake batter to me. picchaas! comments/criticism on the scaping appreciated and a texture shot for foo. i'll take better pics tomorrow when the waters clear, but for now, its off to my bottle of nyquil...

Gerber77 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I really like it everything looks great. Link to comment
CL_ Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Honestly, it still looks a little flat (from front to back), but it's your tank, not mine. The focal point looks good though! Link to comment
racechase Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 i think i either need more rock or a deeper tank to satisfy you CL go update your bracket or something i might try to move that pink rock thats next to the koralia down on top the sand and see if anything spectacular happens...
