Nanofreak79 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Gorgeous house.....baller. RZM250 sick tank. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Closing took forever cuz the seller's lawyer is an idiot. Kept making changes to the HUD last minute. We got through it in about 4 hours. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but here's one of the house at night with roof LEDs all around. Link to comment

Matthewdvm Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Looking forward to seeing how things go with the 350! Congrats on the new house. The kitchen is a stunner! Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 What a week! Finally got everything moved, even the tanks. Been going back and forth every night between the condo and the new house. A bit of advice to anyone moving...have the movers move EVERYTHING. We left random stuff behind thinking we will move it ourselves and it has been a pain. Look what came in yesterday... Will be a while till it gets wet since we still have so much unpacking and furniture building to do. Plus it will probably take me days to make 70+ gallons of water. Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Spent all Sunday putting the tank and stand together. Red Sea quality is top notch. Here's a quick pic of the tank. Please excuse the mess that is my living room. What do you guys think of the scape so far? I still have like 20 lbs of rock I did not use yet. I like the arch but not feeling the left island. Needs to be taller? Wider at the base? I should really start a new thread for this tank =P. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice new tank- can't wait to see what you do with it? congrats on the new home Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Is it weird that I'm feeling the Island more than the arch? Both structures, however look a bit visually disconnected right now. Link to comment

The arch looks too slender and "bucket handle-y" to me... Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 will try again tonight! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I like the island,but I feel like over the scape is way too low for the tank,idk it may just be me..?! Link to comment
D Z Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I like the island,but I feel like over the scape is way too low for the tank,idk it may just be me..?! I completely agree. Maybe not both, but at least one of the 2 structures needs to be taller. I'm leaning towards the arch. See if you can use maybe 3 rocks underneath the arch to raise it up a good deal. The arch can be the top of the structure. Stagger the 3 rocks under it so that each provide caves in between each rock for fish to hide in. Here's a little inspiration. I took this picture of a newly set up scape in a new Red Sea reefer 250(I think) at one of my LFS's. I am just in love with the way this scape turned out and was planning on using it as inspiration when/if I do a rescape on my tank any time soon, but maybe you can benefit too!
