Kazooie Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well I'll have to live vicariously through this build, i just canceled my order for mine. I decided to buy wife a present instead, shes pregnant and I'm going to get her a memory foam mattress and memory foam giant pillow I'm gonna still do another tank just gotta brainstorm a little now. Can't wait for some pics!! Good husband, bad reefer. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Good husband, bad reefer. Haha suppose i didn't need another tank really, I have tanks all over the house. Got my 90 Gallon out in the dinning room half filled with water waiting for me to work on it. I've got a 40 gallon Hexagon, 2 20Ls 1 20H, 2 10 Gallons, and a 5.5 sitting in garage. In the house i've got a 10 gallon, a 90 gallon, 40 gallon breeder, 40 gallon long, 6.6 gallon. Zero's tank will be awesome! Link to comment
Zer0 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sorry guys! I'm trying to go as fast as I can! I had to fix a couple things with the sump regarding the water line. :/ Pictures soon though, extremely soon. Thanks for the support guys, and thanks for living vicariously through my tank Mirage. It would be an honor. Link to comment

Zer0 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well, here it is guys. My proper unveiling. I hope you guys like it, because I freaking love it. I think it's the best scape I've ever done, and every single edge, nook, cranny, and piece of rock has a purpose in the future of my tank. I am a minimalistic person, so my scape is certainly not huge, and I left a lot of space for swimming because I really want fish that love to swim within the water column. Also, it doesn't look it's best at the moment because there's still some white lines going around the tank from when I was filling it up. Also, it has a ####ty single tube NO light on it.. and it makes everything look really green in person. The bulb has to be at least 3 years old. I'm working on the LED unit as fast as I can though because I REALLY want to get that thing hooked up. Also.. the tank still has some cloudiness to the water because I just setup the powerheads. I'm running carbon right now though so it should be crystal clear within a day or two. I hope this satisfies you guys, considering the amount of waiting I put you guys through. If it doesn't however, thanks for stopping by, the door is on the left. j/k. You guys are great, and thanks to all who have followed me up until this point, and who continue to do so. I have big plans for this tank. Here's a couple shots of the sump. Haven't put in the heater or skimmer yet. Link to comment

Zer0 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Geez well that scape doesn't need viagra. You did a great job it looks amazing! Hahaha Thanks Mirage, I'm really glad you like it. I'll be taking more pictures when the water is crystal clear and the glass doesn't have white lines though. I just wish I had a better camera to really capture how nice it looks, because it really does look a lot better in person, IMO. Link to comment

Zer0 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 What's so important about 50 pages? 50 pages worth of discussion, events, and many pictures. That would be great. F% dude that scape is awesome....probably the best I've seen! Haha thanks BOMB! I think it's going to look great filled with frags and all colored up. Link to comment
Kazooie Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oh. One of my threads has 50 pages and it isn't that great. What kinds of corals are you going to have in this tank? Link to comment
Zer0 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oh. One of my threads has 50 pages and it isn't that great. What kinds of corals are you going to have in this tank? I'm sure it's still full of fun conversations and pictures though This tank is going to be focused around zoanthids and SPS, and only a duncan. That's it for LPS lol. Maybe a couple softies like blue clove polyps and one type of mushroom. Link to comment
Kazooie Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Conversation yes, pictures not so much. But I'm sure this thread will be different Nice, sps and zoas go good together. Blue cloves would be a nice texture with the other two, but mushrooms would look almost like a zoa, and they spread fast, so I wouldn't. Link to comment

Blue cloves would be a nice texture with the other two, but mushrooms would look almost like a zoa, and they spread fast, so I wouldn't. Yeah I agree. There was just one type of mushroom that looked really awesome.. but I may just skip it. I had a bad experience with mushrooms in my last cube anyways. It really all depends on what I can find and what I can't. Link to comment
