schgr.cube Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Couldn't take the background anymore, went back to the way it was. I am working on another project to hide the Vortech, let's hope this one works well... All of the cords will be hidden by next week I hope, so please try to ignore that as well! Colors are improving under the new lighting (I put in the 20k FNI bulb to let it break in, I want to see what it looks like and want a bulb that is already color corrected just in case I need a spare.)

fishdaddy0831 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I like the black background. It gives depth to the tank. Either way...very awsome tank. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I think it looks much better with the clear back. Mebbe I'm prejudiced, the back of my tank is clear too. Link to comment
lgreen Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The plants breaking the water surface looks pretty cool. Nice tank. Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks guys. If you were to see the tank in person with either background, you would understand why I got rid of it. Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 looks better without it IMO. I was going to put a blue background on mine but decided against it. Your tank looks great the mangroves were the perfect touch.. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 This tank is AMAZING in person...cannot wait to see it now that it's largely setup and planted....I'm anxious to see what the new pump plan is.... Link to comment
reefrook Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 the clear back is definitely the way to go! Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Your PM box, empty it. Oops Thanks for the kind words guy, I am happy with my decision to get rid of the background again. My wife is really wanting some soft coral, and the more I look at them the more I miss some of them. This being said, I am going to be changing things up a little bit in the near future.

neuwave Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Even after the club downtown, I have to check nano-reef and say "nice tank bro." Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 very nice Thanks! Even after the club downtown, I have to check nano-reef and say "nice tank bro." LOL I was downtown the night before you said this, so I thought I was too drunk to remember meeting someone who was into reefs or something. Then I re-read it and realized it had nothing to do with that. Link to comment

Thanks, I have a house fan cooling the chiller, which is finally cooling the water...lol. any automotive store will have a good selection of high temperature paints that will work well on your fixture Yeah I plan on painting the light and the light stand black, but the wife apparently likes it being bare metal... Lookin good dude! You need to come over and take some of these polyps off my hands! Thanks! You still need to see it in person, but I want to wait until I have everything resolved. And you know I couldn't pass that up, but I don't have anything to trade right now =( Link to comment
