You should throw a rhizo in too wow! thanks for the link. That guy knows what he is doing! That was very similiar to what I have in mind. I will most likely get onsey and twoseys rather than his idea of TONS. Like all of us, the hardest part of this hobby is easily the waiting part. I just want to throw everything in NOW and have it grow in 2 days!!!! Link to comment

konolua Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Couple more pictures.... I took these two with an old flash light to spot light the crab. I liked the yellow orange color of the bulb to give contrast to the rich green and "blueish" water reflecting from the halides. This was a crab eating squid. This was taken tonight. I love when the crabs go in this little hole. They do alot as the rock absorbs some of the water and therefore is always wet. Crab heaven! Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Wow...you really have an eye for aquascaping. The first tank was sweet, so is this one...really nice setup. Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks, you know the aquascaping part is always the most challenging part, to me at least... Great looking tank, very unique. Are the drip lines from the volcano the only return for water, or do you have a return buried under the rocks that helps with flow in your tank? I am just wondering about flow for the SPS corals you are planning. Link to comment

I am just wondering about flow for the SPS corals you are planning. If you check out the photos, you'll see the returns coming from behind the 'volcano'. Link to comment

Marteen Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Are you planning on lighting the center for those mangroves or is ambient room light enough for their growth? Link to comment
The Mad Reefer Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 OH MY THIS IS THE BEST TANK I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! You have done an AMAZING job!! However, I agree with some of the other people, an ultrasonic fogger would look even better. Just picture waves of fog falling down the volcano. I doubt anyone would be able to top that. Great work and good luck!! Link to comment

reefgirlsara Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Konolua, I have to tell you I just joined Nano-Reef.com for the sole purpose of telling you how impressed I am by your ingenuity and execution, and artistic style. I am in love with this set-up man - very sweet! And in a hobby where it is fun and exciting just to copy what everyone else does, my hat is off to you for coming up with something that is so interesting and creative, and extremely beautiful at the same time! I love every single thing you are doing with this tank. Simply wonderful! Someone in my local reef club posted a link to your thread saying how cool it is, and I am so glad they did! Link to comment

I formatted on a Mac and thought I did a good job of making it Windows compatible. I am uploading it to youTube and will embed it shortly. Stay tuned.... Link to comment
konolua Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Okay. Embedded it via youTube. Stinks...the quality I had it at before was great...this quality sucks. Oh well. Hope you like it! (now that you can see it!) Link to comment
