Tigahboy Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Well, since nobody wanted to buy the 15g show I put up in the classifieds, I figured I might as well make use of it. So here's my 15g acrylic (clear-for-life brand) LPS-only nano reef! The tank dims: 30"x10"x12"(h) Mods: Made 2 holes for 1" external durso overflows & 2 holes for 1/2" returns. Sexy Black PVC for plumbing Temporary Light - JBJ 24" Power Compact w/ 50/50 bulbs [will upgrade to 70w MH] Return Pump is a QuietOne 1200 that I had lying around [will upgrade pump as well] Photos of plumbing work can be found in this video: click me (or Right Click + Save as) VERY thin sand bed w/ fiji pink aragonite. And I'm definitely staying true to the theme of this tank (LPS ONLY!). =P More photos to be posted shortly. Link to comment
CGNano Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Your tank is absolutly stunning, even at this stage. 5 stars Link to comment
minimalist Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 That FTS is stunning. I love how everything other than the substrate, rock, and coral is pitch black. How'd you pull that one off? Link to comment
Kogut Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dennis, I love you. The tank looks sweet, bro! I wanna do this w/ a nano-cube for the kitchen. Might have to just copy you, tho. MORE PICS! Edit: There were 0 comments when I typed mine. Crazy how popular you are. Link to comment

kinetic Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i like the blasto cove, how the rock on top is being supported so it has a lot of space underneath! Link to comment
mushroom head Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I looks really good with a black back round!!! Awesome tank BTW! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Macro Shots okay. i'm spent. haha. I'll try to take more pics later (maybe make another vid).

Von digity Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 jeez man. You really gotta stop with the new tank every 2 weeks thing you seem to have going on... jk. tank looks great. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 This one is a keeper tho! It's got my babies in there. I even have my very very first acan lord frag in this tank. (not the most "attractive" of lords, but has sentimental value. haha) Link to comment

EnFuego Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 does jeff's still sell clear for life tanks? I am thinking about getting one from there, but they are no longer online. The tank looks great. I usually am not that impressed by LPS only tanks, but you have done a great job with this. Any plans for fish or shrimp or anything along those lines? -Mark Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Tigahboy is this 15 from Jeff's? Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 exotic has em back up. but I can get em direct as well. No clue w/ regards to fish/shrimp yet. Getting kinda tired of cleaners/fire. Any suggestions? Link to comment
