Pic 3 and 4 should be swapped.

I am always looking for new ways, because everytime I move I feel I should change it up a bit. I am looking for aquascaping that I can eventually put into a larger tank when the time comes.

love the aquascaping!!!

4th pic is my favorite, is that how it is now?

This picture is great!

I really like the aquascape on this one!

The last pic is how it is now. I moved 4 months ago, so I had to redo the scaping. Also, before I moved I had a meltdown of all my zoos, and most of the shrooms. It got really hot and I don't have a chiller.

i like the different looks, and you can tell when you changed your lighitng too, what is currently over the tank, and what different lights were on it before?

LOVE the aquascaping. What dimension is an 80g tank?

I'm moving to a 90g and might use a similar idea for the aquascaping.

Holy Frogspawn and Monti Cap Batman! Keep up the great work. It looks very, very nice in every picture. I like the 4th pic the best. I like the blue background better also.

48x18x21 I think, not to sure on the height.

Great pictures and set-up.
Have you always run 20k's. (I ask because 20k's are stated to have slower coral growth)

 

[chip721]

Wow! Very, very nice. Good job.

The first pic, is just 6 NO bulbs
I then switched to 10 65w PCs
I am now at 2 175w 20k halides and 4 65w 10k PCs
The tank was originally for FO, but then slowly got into a reef. That is why my equipment is not top notch, that and my small budget.
