Rathje70 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Where'd you get your top netting?? Can't find the clear stuff anywhere. Is yours clear? Mine is black, but I actually just ordered some 1/4" clear netting from BSR so I can redo mine. I bought the 1/2" black netting (shown in the picture) from Menards awhile back and it was left over. I am switching to the 1/4" so my BSJ does not get through, or at least trying Link to comment

Rathje70 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Any suggestions or comments on rock work? I like it so far, just wanted to make sure there was room for coral growth. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ok, umm on the left side island scape. I really don't like that skinny leg popping out, the one that's making an arch/ tiny cave. Link to comment

I really don't like that skinny leg popping out, the one that's making an arch/ tiny cave. Thanks, I have had mixed thoughts on that as well....it just fit there so perfectly It is easy to remove. Any other suggestions? Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Mmm I think removing it will look better/more natural Everything else seems perfectly fine. Link to comment
GrandeGixxer Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What are the white elbows for? If it's your ato, you don't want the outlet side submerged. It will create a siphon and siphon back to your ato resivoir. Link to comment

It will create a siphon and siphon back to your ato resivoir. The outlet side is not submerged for that reason, but yes the white elbows are for the ATO and it is working pretty slick so far! The reservoir is just a 5 gallon bucket sitting next to the tank at this time. Thought I would snap one more picture of my phone as the lights dim down... Link to comment
GrandeGixxer Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ok, just making sure. I prefer to use the aqua-lifter pumps with rigid ro line for ato. Link to comment

Yeah, I would say my pump and tubing is a bit overkill but it gets the job done. I am actually using the stock pump that came with the tank and 1/2" tubing.....I had all of the supplies so thought I would put them to use. Love your Snowflake Thanks I like them so far to!
