thats it......i just made up my mind.....im getting a solana. this tank is awesome. i love the scape. the zoa columns set this tank off. i have really never seen another tank with something like that. i love it. awesome work. keep it up. im envious

 

Thank you.

 

Isn't that crazy. I like the tank but wish it was double wide and without the internal sump. LOL

 

I'm jonsing for something like a solana XL67, illuminata 57, or deep blue 57 with built in overflows for a sump. To me, I find the built in sump more limiting.

 

That said, the starfire glass cube look of the solana is to die for. Combined with furniture style stand and it blends nicely into my house. It is making me lean hard towards a XL67 one day as my upgrade. :)

how about this.....ill take this tank off of your hands, livestock and everything and then you will have more room for the xl67. problem solved B)

 

LOL. Unfortunately, i don't have the dough for the XL67 (they want a pretty penny for them) so unfortunately, I'll have to pass on your offer. :)

 

Really nice looking setup. I hope you don't mind if I copy your zoa columns!

 

Thanks, and no problem on copying. I take it as a compliment.

 

very nice work...very nice tank

 

Thanks. :)

Well, I traded out about $150+ worth of zoa's and mushrooms yesterday for SPS/LPS items for my tank. I don't have the names of everything, so I'll have to look them up unless someone recognizes these items. (LFS told me, but I couldn't remember them all and didn't think to write them down..... doh!)

Would love to see what your tank looks like... not sure if it's me but all of your pictures are broken links to me...

 

I just got a Solana 34g (upgrade from a Nanocube 12g DX) and really looking forward to moving everything over. Would love to see how you set yours up.
