The tank looks great. I may have mossed it but why did you take it all apart? Also that closeup og the glass does not look very green. Is that starphire glass? Either way, great work, great tank. Great deal for a buck.

Tank is amazing, how is the stand coming along? Looking forward to seeing the finished product. The kids did a great job scaping the tank for you, im sure you appreciated being able to just stand back and watch that reef take shape, in some ways I would think that way was better. Nature doesn't let you get to choose how it gets arranged, and you wanted a true slab of nature in your home. It definitely looks like you got what you wanted.

Thanks.
The reason that i took it apart is due to the fact I could not bring it downstairs to the basement. Ans yes the front is starfire glass.

Thank You for the dear comments, and I do have to agree I am very happr with the scape. I really never had an eye for scaping.

Wow what an awesome tank!!! Cant wait to see the new sps. Envy the time you got this back together and up and running. Great job!!!!!

 

[rkaragozler]

Sorry for the delay, just noticed last time i posted pics was over a month ago
I added another 450w pendant, changed my Ushio bulbs to the new Neuco 20K, using the AC3 as a controller set them up as sunrise- sunset between 4 fixtures, with 1 hour intervals.
Installed a gfo reactor, as well as carbon. And added a couple more sps as well as lps.
another thing I think i might be getting better with the settings on my camera.
