ajmckay Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Spectra! Awesome tank! I aspire to have a tank this size some day... The dimensions are great! Are the doors held on at the top only by magnets? I see they sit on that little piece of angle at the bottom. Love the pukani. After getting this stuff I can't say enough about how much I like the textures and the flow of the grooves and holes. Did you get it at BRS? I got mine there and was impressed at the size of the chunks they sent me - it looks like yours are pretty large. Trying to think of a cool question or comment but instead I think I'll sit tight and watch as things progress. Keep up with the pics! 2 Quote Link to comment

Just found some nice sized ones at the local hardware store. They work out great as the doors are pretty heavy. I did not have a way to rip down the barn wood so doors with plywood are about 1 1/2 thick. And yes all rock came from BRS. I had to cut a few down as they would have stuck out of the water. I do like the fact the rock cuts so easily. Quote Link to comment
beebes Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Your stand looks awesome and I love the lagoon style rock scape. How fish heavy do you plan to go? It looked like you went with a synergy reef ghost overflow - is there any reason you went with that one instead of the ones oceans by design makes? I just put in an order for a tank and overflow from them, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I overlooked . 1 Quote Link to comment

I just put in an order for a tank and overflow from them, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I overlooked . As of now I have about 12 to 14 fish in it. Biggest fish is a foxface about 2 1/2 inches long. The others are all nano fish and some chromis. The purple tang will grow eventually but right now there are bigger chromis in there than the tang. Went with the synergy overflow as I had it already. I actually like the way it worked out. I think OBD uses glass and it does not come off so it would have been a pain getting it into the house. And thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't actually seen their ghost overflows in person, hopefully I like it. My tank will be smaller so hopefully I won't have too much trouble getting it in my house. Quote Link to comment

I know of a few OBD tanks by me as they are kind of close. Quote Link to comment
beebes Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 No, mine will be a 16 inch ghost overflow style, on a 48 x 24 x 16 peninsula. I used to visit their store a lot when they were in Tukwila, was sad to find that closed once I got back into the hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment
