Flo´s Comeback

I'm going to see if my lighting rep at work can get these for me! We just bought $100,000 worth of there led replacement lamps.

Who needs a shipyard for good deals.

And I lifted the rock work up with some eggcrate so that it doesn't get covered in the sand ^^

I am happy so far but there is still one light missing, the delivery company doesn't know where it went...
also I have to wait for the paneling (don't know if this is the right word) for the sand and the canopy
Can't fill the tank befor that arrives because from some parts I'll have to move the tank to mount that to the wall

So far

Cheers
 
I would have left some space between rock and glass to avoid possibility of dead spots, thus avoiding detritus accumulation.
 
Very cool way to have maximum coral real estate with still having hiding spots for fish.

Thanks

Looking good Flow... fill the tank!

Thanks mate but I have to wait a little longer...

So you mean putting the rocks on the sand?
The egg crate is only right under the founding rocks so the rest of the sand is "free"

Looking great Florian, but I agree with Discusheckel.
I am not sure if your rock is in his final position, but moving it a little forward will not only improve the flow (although you have a MP40 in that corner) it will also bring the rock more under the LED ficture and will allow the corals to grow more 360 degrees. Here assuming you position the LED in the middle of the tank.
 
Another thing Flo... Have you cured the rocks in RO/DI? I know they can leach silicates and phosphates. Better safe than sorry!

Looks great btw, gonna steal your stand/sump layout :D

No I meant the distance between the rocks and vertical glass surfaces.

Ahh okay now I get it
Will try and move it a bit away from the glass
But for no dead spots my mp10 should be working back there...

Haha i can't say anything negative about the new stand, just great

And the stones have been in Ro/Di water before shipping and should be free ;-)
 
Love it, Flo!
Looking great!



Thanks Matt!!!

So I moved the rock work a few cm away from the back but not that much

I will move my mp10 all the way back so that there will be flow

My second light fixture is still lost in transit... how someone can lose such a big parcel is beyond me...

Will post some pictures later I guess ;-)

Cheers

Finished glueing and sanding (haha direct German translation :lolspin: )

Happy so far with all I've done...

But when I look through Matts thread I can't wait to get my corals back and buy new one :D
Cheers
 
Looking great.
We are also cannot wait to see this filled with salt water.
