Sweet, Man do I love that aquascaping. It is spectacular.

 

[areze]

I love the aquascaping too; the rock "island" on theright is really interesting.

how did you run the closed loops? are the pumps in the overflow? do they feed from the overflow water?

 

[dlopes]

Hi,

how did you run the closed loops? are the pumps in the overflow? do they feed from the overflow water?

The water falls into the overflow, goes to the sump, and then 2 Eheim 1262 pumps connected into 2 SCWDÃ"šÃ‚´s makes the water return to the main tanq. After the SCWDÃ"šÃ‚´s I just have those tubes and in the end the dispersors with the orange tips.

And thatÃ"šÃ‚´s it!

Cheers,
Diogo

[RRodrigues]

Olá Diogo,

O tópico está fantástico! Recentemente vi também que tinhas descrito a evolução do teu aquário no Reefforum e fiquei muito surpreendido por vé-lo aqui também, é sempre bom ouvir o que esta malta do lado de lá do Atlântico tem para dizer!!!

Go Diogo,
Ricardo Rodrigues

 

[dlopes]

Hi,

Ricardo - itÃ"šÃ‚´s very rude to write in portuguese!!! No one will understand us! Of course Ricardo just wrote good things about myself...

What you should do is show us all your beautiful 190 gallon tank. Our I will put some pics!!!

Now that the aquarium is setled here are some pics from my living room...

I hope you like it as much as I do!!!

Abraço,
Diogo:

 

[motoxracing782]

[rulesmith]

yes, very nice. Do you have any pods coming out of your fuge yet?

 

[dlopes]

Hi,

Do you have any pods coming out of your fuge yet?

The fuge is now fully established and the pods are falling into the main tank!

Meanwile here are some new inhabitants...

Cheers,
Diogo

Sweet tank. How did you get all of the fish to swim to the right for their profiles?

What program did you use to plan the layout?

[dlopes]

Hi,

How did you get all of the fish to swim to the right for their profiles?

Simple!!! With a turnover over 50 times the aquarium volume.

What program did you use to plan the layout?

Just the Powerpoint and Paint Brush.
