Bonsai Tree inspired Aquascape

[crazy4acros]

Guys/Gals I’m sorry for the late response, I have been pretty busy flying in and out of town. The tank is doing well although I did loose my clam. Other than that all is progressing slowly. I wanted to wait till I get a new camera before posting update pics, but i will snap a few shots this weekend with my old one.

He beautiful tank, I saw what bulb and ballast you used, but what type of pendant/reflector are you using? It looks great and simple.

That answer got lost in page 5 hahahaha. I am using a SE 400w 20k Radium bulb on a PFO HQI ballast.

I believe this is your answer, plus he said it is a Lumenarc pendant reflector

 

[cthedaytrader]

thanks I didnt know lumenarc made pendants, i thought they only had reflectors.

Nice tank crazy4acros.

Question for you and all others with open 'scapes.
Where/how do the fish all find a place to sleep?

 

[B.friend]

Awesome tank I love it, Great stuff really gives me more ideas for my tank I am building right now which is exactly the same dimensions as your tank and rimless.

 

[purplereef]

Where did you get the awesome Red and green open brain? That thing is insanely nice.

I think my fishes has adapted to the open scape. At night the tangs hang out under the overhangs and the angel has it's favorite spot in the back.

purplereef, The brain was a nice score at a local LFS, It's a Aussie Scolly.

Thank you all for the comments!

crazy4acros, does cutting the covers on the tunzes help broaden the flow?

 

[nUgZ]

sure does, i bet his flow is great in that tank.

 

[glxtrix]

It would make sense that it broadens the flow, but I wonder how much force the water looses.

Wow! still looks great. Can't get over how awsome your open aquascape looks. I predict in a couple of years you will have TOTM.
