You have done a beautiful job with your tank. I too liked the single island with sand but it would be hard to resist adding another island for more corals and I understand why you went bare bottom. Great job buzzy!!
 
stunning! I loved it with the sand though :(

I'm having the same problem with the sand. terribly frustrating but I love the white-bottom..

the sps seem a little brown in the most recent pics, what do you suspect is the cause?
 
I'm with Bello mate, have you still got this beautiful display up and running. Is your rimless 120x60x50 tank made from 10mm glass - i've started building the stand for a 130x90x40 using 10mm as i'm not going to blow a fortune going to 12mm wankfire glass and will euro brace the second tank it i think. Ignore any questions Bello asks or simply tell him lies - he's the enemy remember.........:p
 
Hi guys, unfortunately I had to take this down. But I am slowly collecting goodies ( or should I say ammunition ) to start a new tank which will be based very much on this tank with the minimalistic rockwork/aquascape and concentrate on the SPS filling the space!

:lol: Biggles :)

That's great news, Buzzy !!

I didn't really post much in my early days on RC, was pretty much, a lurker :). But I distinctly remember your tank, and had tremendous admiration for the simplicity in scape :thumbsup:

Will you be using the same tank, or are you planning something entirely different?
 
Hi Bello,

Thanks very much for the kind words,

I will start with a new tank. I am going to have a smaller tank with 2 t5's, no skimmer lots of fish and feed really really heavily! Because i only plan on only doing 5% water changes every few month im sure my sps will have color that will even make Biggles envious (well thats what he told me to tell you hehe)

But really i will start with a new tank with similar dimentions to my old tank somewhere around the 100gal mark. Will keep it simple like the old tank and just let the corals grow and fill in the tank, i am in the planning stage slowy gathering bits that i need to make it all happen, in the meantime getting inspiration from tanks like yours and Biggles!

You'll notice now that both aussies and kiwis are too lazy to do regular water changes Bello........:D
The new tank plans sound good buzzy, as long as you can keep a couple of acros alive i don't think we'll have a problem dealing with the disco light caped crusaders - Belloman and Troubin........ coincidentally, Bello mentioned the other day that he likes to wear a cape when working on his tanks and is making a fragarang whatever that is ...... bit weird if you ask me but each to their own i guess......:rolleyes:
You don't actually mean you're only going to run 2 T5 tubes over the tank do you, although a jar full of fireflies will work as well as Bello's LED's.......:p
I look forward to abusing you for having better colored corals than me buzzy :fun2:
 
:lol: Biggles, you're nuts!! :) BTW, I'm thinking about using candles for tank lighting instead of them fireflies :p

Thanks Buzzy :)!! I hope you stick with the same/similar scape plan as the last time. Any timeline set for the new setup? Is the old tank still running? (I ask cos' your avatar's different:))

We'll be more than happy to help any way we can, and I'm pretty sure you'll find this journey very entertaining....you can count on Biggles for that :thumbsup:
 
Biggles,

No that was just a joke! Ill use 400w halide like last time,

Bello,

No time frame yet I still have a few things to get and finalize the tank size. No old tanks not running I just thought it was time for new avatar
