Bonsai Tree inspired Aquascape

[KafudaFish]

As everyone has said this is really a beautiful tank. I am sure that many are rethinking a few things.

I asked this before but believe that it got lost a few pages ago.
How much water do you think your rock has displaced? I think this provides a better idea of the amount rather than number of pounds since rock densities vary so much. Thanks.

crazy4acros, how often do you replace the bulbs? Do they wear out faster than most other halides?

 

[crazy4acros]

KafudaFish, Sorry I have no idea how much water has been displaced. All the rest of the rock that i took out is sitting in my sump, but if i do decide to get rid of it then i'll measure how much gallons i backfilled with.

Rickyrooz1, Because the ballast overdrives the bulbs, they wear out faster and get replaced about every 6-8 months. After this bulb wears out i will probably experiment with the Reeflux 12k bulb.

Nice frag tank! Definitely don't create that viewing window, it would detract from the main display, especially since the background is a different color from the main.

No problem, glad to be of service. How does your Sohal do in that tank? Any problems with aggression?

 

[crazy4acros]

so far so good he has been quite passive with the others, but I know in time I must find him a new home where he can swim his heart out. I'd hate to see him go but he will get too big for my tank.

I'm glad to hear you are planning on being fair to that fish. When I first saw him in there I worried, but it sounds like you are a responsible reefer, so it looks like he's a lucky fish!

I'm so jealous, your frag tank loks nicer than my display tank. What size is that frag tank?

 

[tbone28]

That in-line frag tank is SWEET!

Thanks guys! the frag tank isn't very big at all it's only 24x7x7 inches.

 

[tbone28]

What makes it sweet are:

- the dimensions
- that it's scaped like a mini-display
- it complements the look of your entire display

:rollface:

[vetdog]
