Do you have nice aquascaping? if so let's see it..

[Mike de Leon]

Nice. What are the dimensions of this baby? How many halides do you have on it?

It is 72x30x24 currently no halides just 2 reef Brite 50/50 72 inch strips. That's is lights I had laying around. I do plan on 2 mh with large reflectors and a t5 front and back with a reef bright blue xho 72 inch in the front.

Thanks. So this must be tank #4??
Do post updates.

Going to be a SPS dominant tank. One large island connected with a open center to exaggerate the depth. Rear left island with many small openings for fish sanctuary until the corals grow in. Used a 1/2" sand bed madeup of Tropical Eden Reef Flakes.

What do u mean tank #4? That I have 4 tanks running or this is my 4th tank upgrade?

 

[Mike de Leon]

I am guessing you've had at least four tanks judging by your number of posts
I will be on tank 6 when I start my new rimless. Not so fond of cubes.

Have had more tanks then I can count. But if I had to try I think this is number 19. I have 9 going right now. Look through the build thread I posted a couple of posts back.

 

[Mike de Leon]

Wow! Nice set up! you have a few tanks for sure.

Thx I'm very excited about it. it's taken a long time. This build alone is just hit 1 year and just starting the cycle on the final tank.

Here is the aquascaping for my tank. The tank is 40x24x26h. I did a 4" setback on the front and back and 3" on either end. Laid it all out ahead of time while dry and used hydraulic cement to fix the sections in place. Tank is currently cycling.

The final layout.

How it looks in the tank.

Starting to look at the pics again due to my new build. Love to see new scapes and even old ones that have matured!

Maybe the vids are easier?
