metrokat Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I like it! Would it get in the way if you had to take apart the PVC for cleaning or whatever? Also. Painting the PVC black would make it dissapear. Link to comment
zeke2020 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 WORD!!! Looks clean as @#$%!! Great job bro! Link to comment

Painting the PVC black would make it dissapear. It's zip tied to the pvc so I guess I could easily take it off. I thought about painting when I built this overflow but it doesn't really bother me. Plus there is already green and purple coralline growing on it. The overflow is hard plumbed through the stand though, so if I ever did want to paint or anything I'd have to cut it up (again) just to get it out. WORD!!! Looks clean as @#$%!! Great job bro! Thanks! I'm really enjoying it like this, it makes the tank look much cleaner and I can see all my fish all the time now. Before the clowns hid behind the tower of rocks and only came to the front for feeding. Hopefully they'll finally find the GBTA since they're in such a small space with it now. I'm considering adding some sand. The BB looks neat and all but with all the debris that ends up on the bottom I'd have to clean it at least once a day to keep it looking nice, and this stuff is so heavy that when I try to suck it up with the turkey baster it just falls right back out. Plus I have a ton of nassarius snails that don't act too happy... Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So weird, I was looking up how to do floating rocks in an aquarium like just 2 days ago! I love it! Put your chili coral and other nps on the underside and that would look soooo amazing once it grew in. Link to comment

Put your chili coral and other nps on the underside and that would look soooo amazing once it grew in. If I could get to it I would. Where it is I'm afraid I might damage it too much trying to remove it. That is a thought I had though! It's actually in the fuge now, I removed that rock, which was the largest in the tank, and stuck it down there so I could clean up the DT. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Maybe it will grow and you can frag it in the future Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hopefully. It's maybe 3/4" right now. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That floating rock is awesome!!! Link to comment
hey Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 looks 200% better with the more minimal/unique scape. Hope we get to see this one mature looks like it could be something special when it grows in. Link to comment

Aside from only a couple coral I've had remarkably little growth from all my coral over the past year. Link to comment

Chew_Magna Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Messin around in Sketch Up for the first time. This is my counter/stand, or at least pretty darn close to it. 39 3/4" tall and 60 1/4" long. So you can see the kind of real estate I have to work with there. counter stand by whyteaboi, on Flickr Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 And now with the dream tank I've always wanted to build on it. 58.25 long x 17 deep x 8.5 tall, .5" glass or acrylic, just a hair under 32 gallons capacity. This is very much wishful thinking though, it'll never happen. stand with tank by whyteaboi, on Flickr Huh, weird, looking at that model now the dimensions look way off from the real thing, but the measurements are there... hmm.
