SLOreefer Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 got any more pics? close ups? it looks awesome so far. what are your lighting specs? is thata 20 gallon? give specs man it looks awesome Link to comment
skeletor Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 yeah I agree, that looks great... a little ghetto, but I like that. I count something close to 20 SPS frags in there, how about some closer pics... rock work looks great btw.. -skeletor- Link to comment
Kalanianaole Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yah, that rock work is killer. It'll prolly slay me in my sleep it's so good. Post close-ups please. Nice sun polyps and gorgonian. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hehe some of my sps are pretty browned out right now. I have no idea why but I just added that second light on the right. I hope it will help. As for closeup pics, I'll post them later if my corals start changing color. Spec: 150w arcadia 3 series slimline metal halide light 150w regent diy light 20gallon high 15 gallon sump/refugium mag7 return through a scwd and like 2 powerheads no skimmer (wish i had one) no cal reactor (wish i had one hehe) Link to comment
jocole37 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 that is great scaping...corals look fine to me. Link to comment
LIVEROCKER Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 that is the nicest scaping i have seen in a while. you get the "liverocker scaping of the month award"....even though it means nothing its the thought that counts. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 close ups close ups! I like it, Is the regent a MH? new you said, see if they are sunburned. the polyps in the shade of other branches will still be open. Looks nice though, build a hood for those lights and you have a killer piece. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 wow, if that nano sucks, I can only imagine what you'd think of my tank. Link to comment
AMcNeice Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Your tank makes me want to rip my 20 apart and reef vicariously through yours. Sweet aquascaping btw. Link to comment
TiGs Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I gotta agree with the others on your aquascaping. a lot of options and room for coral placement and some caves. Looks awsome. Once your corals grow out, your nano will be the bomb!! Post some close up shoots and don't keep us waiting for the eye candy too long. How long has your nano been up? Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Thanks for the comment guys! My aquascaping went through many changes and after many numb fingers (remember to use gloves), it has gotten to this which I finally like. I know the lighting looks kinda ghetto but I think I'll keep it that way. If I build a hood, I'll have to deal with heat issues. And I have no idea how to build a hood X) My nano has been up for around 6 months. I had a 10 gallon nano before too but I transfered everything to this tank. I'll post a pic of what it looked like before in July. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Here's a picture of it in August. The Aquascaping was changed a bit. Also notice the cyano on the left side. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 This is in September. More changes in the liverock scaping. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 More changes with the metal halide light off. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 In October, again more scaping. Link to comment
CrocoDillon Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Why don't you add some SPS? I think they make a great addition to your tank, since you only have a few now... Great tank! Looks very very clean too, except your Mag-o-float and PH's Link to comment
OneOfDaZZZ Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 where do you live? That city in the background looks pretty cool. Link to comment
moorediddy Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Wow -- I like October's scaping the best. Did you glue the rocks? How did you get them to stay put. I always have problems with them being unsteady when I stack like that. -moore Link to comment
Jahkaya Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I notice my coral grow faster when I don't touch them. Are those both 10k's? What is the color temp of those bulbs? Link to comment
Fant Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Very nice, as everyone else said the scaping looks great. Are you in the UK.. iv not seen those arcadias being sold over here in the states. I been trying to get my hands on one of them, nice to actually see em in use. Good deal man. Link to comment
Seth Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 OneOfDaZZZ - I live in downtown Vancouver, Canada : ) Usually I put down the blinds else I attract too much attention with my lights. moorediddy - My rocks are not glued. They stacked up because I would spend hours trying to stack them up until they look okay. Jahkaya - The left bulb is 14k bulb and the right one is a 20k bulb. I want to change the 14k bulb to a 10k bulb though cuz it seems like it's not bright enough. Fant - nope i'm not in the UK and they're not sold here unfortunatly. Luckily I had a friend to bring it over. : Thanks for the comment guys! Link to comment
