beautiful project, nice work!
So far the water level in the overflow is holding steady.
And it's still DEAD SILENT!!!
If you didn't hear the low hum of the skimmers or vortechs you wouldn't know the tank was even running. The Eheim pump is silent as well.
Now I'm just going to let the water go round and round for two weeks before i get back into town and get my rock. I'll just be keeping an eye on it for the next 3-4 days to make sure it solid.
Here's a full room shot.
Still need to get those carpet tiles for the floor around the stand.
Thanks!Wow, just wow. Nice job.
Haha, thank you.You should get tank of the year for the next ten years. Beautiful.
Can I come live with you? Lol
Thanks!Wow! Just gorgeous!! Oh, the tanks nice, too. Haha. Everything's gorgeous!!
Thanks! I know what you're saying, it's just hard to see from the pics what's going on. If you look at this earlier pic I posted, this is probably the orientation of the light that most people would have done.Beautiful!-The only thing that would bother me -is the light set up on the diagonal?-Man I'm so pitiful for even complaining-everything is top notch-Nice house and killer kitch.!!!
Thanks!If the biotic matchs the a-biotic you have already; that will be the best cube I have ever seen. It is refreshing to see such a well planned and careful build.
I have been lucky enough to vist Houston a couple of times. Great city, I love the energy and diversity. The clean lines against the windows and outside sort of remind me of the spirit of the town. Familiar yet new
Very well done
All rock, sand and cuc will be coming from Tampa Bay Saltwater. So whatever sand is sitting in the Gulf off of Florida.Looking great, Dennis. What kind of sand are you going to be putting in there?
Thank you.Dennis....eveything continues to impress
question for you, what dimension is the water line below the top edge of the tank?
Thanks!man it just gets better and better, this tank is amazing
That's a stunning design, well done. Execution is flawless.
One thing concerns me though, the dry pipe that you have the wiring running through. Are you concerned that water could get in there? I'm nervous about salt water and electricity. I prefer to keep all electrical outlets etc exterior of the stand, but that's just me.
Also, speaking from experience, you will get a lot of light spill from that pendant. It doesn't bother some people but when I had an open top, square tank with a pendant it did start to bother me. Your house looks really nice, and warm. The 'cool' lighting from that pendant will change the ambiance for lack of a better word, from warm (incandescents, halogens, whatever you have) to cool, blue light. Again, it doesn't bother some people but to me, I prefer warm light in my living space.
It's totally beautiful though in any case and you've incorporated the design into your home very appropriately. Well done!
Everything looks amazing. I love the way it blends with your house.
Just onen question....Why are you going with TBS live rock? I have never seen it in person, but all I have seen online makes it look very dense and boulder-shaped. Seems contrary to your goal of a minalist aquascaping. Why not use dry rock from Marcos rocks or Bulk reef supply? You would get better shapes and not have to deal with any introduced pests. (and cheaper) If you do want traditional live rock, I have recieved nice pieces from LiveAquaria in the past.
Is third coast and saphire in the same spot? I need a skimmer but I think they are closed on weekends and thats the only time I can get out there.
