audiocontrol Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Definatly looking good for a noob! You seem to be on the right track Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 btw, that one cave looks really awesome...glue some zoanthids or shrooms on the cave rock..that would look really good Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Thanks!! Had some bumps in the road, but I think I may be getting the hang of it. This is actually the second aquascape, I had to redo it all last night to make room for the new skimmer. I am really happy with it now! Thanks! Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Here is one more of the back Link to comment
Shorty5198 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Nice tank. you set it up great for future corals. i'm sure once you get more coral and it matures, it will look schaweeeeet! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Is the terrarium dripper in the back of your tank your auto top-off?! Very clever if it is! nice start, dude. Link to comment
shanebeall Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'd like to thank you for reminding me about the Little Dripper. That's an awesome topoff idea. Right now I have a gallon sized jar on top for topoff, but the little dripper would work better. Thanks! Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks!! I cant wait to put some more corals in there. Trying to take things slow (so hard), but I will keep everyone posted. Yup.. that is just what it is. I cant get it to drip exactally right so I set it a little on the slow side as to not over do it. Link to comment
mastikat Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 hey man, nice tank! did you get the live rock online? if you did i would love to know where from. your setup is awesome Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks a lot! I bought it from a LFS in Providence. Link to comment

Funky_Fish14 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ooo that looks great for a first tank! Where did you get the Orbits light? Thanks. Chris Link to comment
IGOTWORMS Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Great start. Itll look awsome in a few more months. Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Thanks! Light came from Ebay. Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Not sure if this is the same seller, but this is the light. The only thing I am not crazy about is that the moonlight leds are white (instead of blue). Gives it a cool shimmery look, but I still think I would prefer blue. Other than that, awesome light for a 10g. Link to comment
six_line Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Couldn't you DIY a blue 'filter' over the white moonlights? For example, there's a transparent blue acrylic picture frame (not mine!!) for $.98 that might work. That's what I was going to do but I ordered the blue ones - should be here tomorrow!!!!! Good luck, Another noob Link to comment
six_line Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 The picture frame is on eBay - that might help. Not mine!!! Link to comment
RIreefGuy Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 here are a couple of cool macro shots I got by holding a magnifying glass up to the lens of my Sony DSC-s85. Link to comment
