Growerguy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That looks really nice! Excited to see it running as well. Link to comment
c_k_kuehne Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Your definatly in Fratitude. I deleted my post from the FTS thread since we are trying to keep that thread pictures only. And I do like the AIO section. Something different compared to the normal AIO setup. Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 yea im going for a sorta elos look...kinda.. thanks guys! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I really like the look of the tank as well. Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks, im not painting the back...leaving it as is. I think it will look great. going with minimal LR and 1.5" LS bed Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Updated pictures, I have used 50% old water and 50% new, cycled LS and LR, and have about a 3/4" wave with my MP10. I added my corals and shrimp(til he gets killed by my MP10). Now all my equiptment is in my closet behind the tank, MP10 wave box, ATO jug,wires ect. I am looking for a fish to add, and I think im going to do Zoas and acros, so I might be buying some frags soon. What fish would be unique? Pics Water test: Sand: Live rock, I think I like it? Its still kinda open and leaves alot of sand, while it looks lagoonish? Link to comment
Apoptosis Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Very cool with the rock sticking out of the water! I love it. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yes, wide tanks have a huge amount of potential IMO to look like natural sections of reef! Amaizing start Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 thanks yal! appreciate it. Need to find some little acro frags now Link to comment
.Newman. Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 you plannin on keeping it open like that? better have an ATO going then Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 look closely in the pic, see the tiny float switch Link to comment
Fratitude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 thanks, im going to take more pics tomorrow. What ya think for fish? my LFS gets TINY chromis/damsels in alot...I think I might do a couple of them in here. Would look nice with the tide action I got going. Def dont want gobies or other non swimming fish though, a flash of color swimming by makes a big difference to me. Link to comment
tankcrazed Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 LOVE IT!!! Why don't you add some fiddler crabs that can climb on the rocks...or something similar...

Fratitude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 tank, I think I will!! great idea! Link to comment
brandon429 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Frat it looks great like an amano japanese clean look./ Mr aquarium has some relatively large colonies of bright green acros, some really nice ones and you could frag the whole colony to plant around your aquarium, then stick the cut-down base off to the side somewhere to replate!

Fratitude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 ha! I was actually thinking JUST that! Link to comment
reefer123 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 definitly go with some tiny chromis, they are sooo underrated. when they eat they are like torpedos shooting around the tank. i love your tank, soo creative. can we get some shots of the rockwork?? Link to comment
Fratitude Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks, and today! il take some pics when the light are on. rock work is inspired by the dive site "snapper hole" off the east end in grand cayman. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 WOW the turbo (or turban idk) snails are really the only thing that give a size reference to this tank! Otherwise it looks massive! like a 30 gallon at least! I would not be surprised if you won this contest ;D Link to comment

.Newman. Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 do you know how cool this thing is gonna look if you go with montipora coral in the middle providing shade below, and a branchy SPS like birdsnest right at the top? This is the look I'm describing: Link to comment
