Rehype Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Awesome...just awesome. Hope all the macros do well for you Think this is now my favorite tank I have done Link to comment
brad908 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 hey guy this tank looks fantastic, love the colors what's that yellow stuff? Thanks! It is Eucheuma Spinosum Link to comment
Manbearfish Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It looks sooooooo good, I'm drooling over how crisp white and natural the lighting is too, that's like my ideal spectrum if I can get mine like that one of these days. So awesome.. Link to comment
RollaJase Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The macros really make that scape pop. This is probably the closest I have ever seen someone get to recreating the fresh water 'planted' tanks with a marine ecosystem. If you decide to pop a dwarf lionfish or a scorpionfish in there it will really be a match made in heaven. Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 very nice tank! really like the slope of the sandbed with the way its scaped towards the corner. Link to comment

Hopefully order it Monday and it will take 7-8 weeks to make. Link to comment
Merthynia Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm in love with this tank! You've done an amazing job with the layout of the mangroves and the macro! The colors make such a serene viewing experience!!! Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This is one of the most beautiful tanks I have seen on here. So well done, I will be sad to see it go once you get the bigger tank. Link to comment

Thanks! All of this will be moved to the bigger tank, and more. I just egg crated the scape today. And sent it off to hey and Dave for their input. Gonna be a fun 8 weeks planning and building while the tank is being built. Link to comment

Better get a move on and finish off the stand I guess haha. Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 My high quality sketch of the light set up plan to Dave Its a true Picasso Seriously though this is going to be fantastic! Link to comment
Benny314 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Makes the ideas I knock up using Microsoft paint look like cad drawings lol. Good effort though, Dave strikes me as the sort of person who'd get the gist of what your trying to demonstrate and make it work hahaha. Any reason for not just sticking 2 hybrids over the new system? You could put tropical plant tubes in the hybrid over the Mangroves to see if that improves growth. Link to comment

Just using everything I already own. Dave offered to put his white fw array in the duo. Sending the light back to him tomorrow. I actually use 6700k bulbs in my hybrid too. Link to comment
Benny314 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ahhhh I understand. I'm dead keen to see how this turns out. Link to comment
