Custom new tank !

[bobkill]

hello All-

I got my custom tank in from Bill (@custom reef creations)
and i firgued I would post pics of the tank and first round of rock work.
I know all of us start out with rock then like it change it like it then finally love it- I am in the part 2 of like stage so any suggestions plz throw it out there

The tank is starfire 56x34x24 rimeless (197g) got it on wed and it was rather heavy thanks to those who helps (chris blakers)

Plan for the tank is the dark side..... SPS only with dom on acro.

I will be using a Vertec Iullumnia light which just shipped.

I will post more pics when i get time

in the pics that rock arch is 17 inch long to help with scale


fish- wrasses tangs and angels - thats why i am trying to kepp the rock down to a min so we can have lots of swim room.

thanks!

Thanks dude!

Looks better than the the pic of you and friend sitting in it! lol. I like the end view of the rock, it should give you lots of places to put corals and not hinder flow.

Georgeous tank! Looks like you'll have plenty of swimming space.

Subscribed to this thread and looking forward to updates!
