jack1978 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nice and clean, looks great. How will you be hanging the light? -How about a sump shot? Link to comment
Jackal_Knight Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Looks good, cant wait to see it with the light How far from the top is the water level? Link to comment
1.0reef Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What livestock are you thinking? Fish and corals please Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Already better then my tank. Ugh Off to a great start chad! Link to comment
Chadf Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nice and clean, looks great. How will you be hanging the light?-How about a sump shot?The light will go in my floating canopy, 45 degree optics so we'll see how high it lets me go with it. I'm getting ready to paint the wire raceway to match the wall now, no visible wires or equipment. You asked for it, the sump. Clean up top, my usual mess down below. Looks good, cant wait to see it with the lightHow far from the top is the water level?The water is down 1.125". I wish it could be higher but that's as high as I could drill. What livestock are you thinking? Fish and corals please I have no idea on fish yet. Z&Ps, rics, BTA, meat, acans, euphyllia, things along those lines most likely. Link to comment

richgoose Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So dope. I have been (slowly) modding my BC29 and plan on a powerhead free tank like this thanks for sharing Link to comment
wow.such.chris Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wow chad, nice work. This is really coming along nicely and I have a feeling it will be even better than the last. I love this new trend of going without powerheads, veryclean looking. A little inspiration from Scorched? Do you plan on adding any LR or starting purely dry? What's the stocking goal: SPS, LPS, mixed? How about fish? Tell me more! Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great start man! I love how clan it looks without any visible equipment. Link to comment
blacksand_reefer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 That looks awesome!!! Link to comment
hey Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 here we go, looking forward to seeing how you stock this thing. Also dig the floating canopy, I actually made one for mine using a single lumenbright reflector but got a good deal on the ocean light so I got the thing sitting in my basement on deck for new projects lol.

Do you plan on adding any LR or starting purely dry? What's the stocking goal: SPS, LPS, mixed? How about fish? Tell me more! Yep, scorched is the reason I started this tank. His is awesome. No live rock. I'm just doing LPS and softies, no idea on fish yet. Great start man! I love how clan it looks without any visible equipment. Thanks, I've never been the minimalist type but I'm liking the clean look. That looks awesome!!! Thanks here we go, looking forward to seeing how you stock this thing.
