I put a skeleton in my tank.

[RDHDDRAGON]

Coated him with krylon fusion inside and out. Let him cure for three days. Now he is at the bottom of the ocean swimming with the fishies!

I don't normally like decorations in my tank and my other two reefs have no decorations. This is my dirty, bottom of the sand bed aggressive tank though. He is a 5ft tall skeleton in a 120 gallon 4ft long tank.

my first opinion is NO!!!

but then I started to picture it down the road all grown over and now have upgraded my thought to... maybe.
lol

 

[RDHDDRAGON]

lol. I am hoping coraline and algae will attatch to him and make him crusty!

 

[fishroomlady]

A little freaky I must say.

My hought flow went exactly as Cuz's. The 'oh god no was quickly replaced with wait, that will probably be pretty awesome in a few months.' I'm looking forward to watching this progress.

 

[ghellin]

Look forward to seeing the growth!

 

[bobkill]

Metal! You have some many tanks I think it's a great try

 

[CUZ]

updated pic please!!!

 

[thesnailgal]

after it grows over it will look good .. it needs a pirate patch though!

 

[RDHDDRAGON]

Ok, but i really really need to do a water change lol. I am waiting on my salt to get here.

Algae heaven!! The algae LOVES to stick to the skeleton.

 

[Ciscokid]

Looks good.

Tie a plastic chain to his neck running into the sand.

 

[Ms Tanky Panky]

It wouldn't work for me in my tank but I think it's awesome in yours!

 

[RDHDDRAGON]

Thanks! I like him, lol. Here is a closer pic, after a waterchange and with new t5 bulbs. The algae really likes to stick to him!

I don't know about a chain, but i am seriously considering the pirate patch!

 

[Jedidad]

I think it's cool. Nice to see something different once in a while.

 

[Ciscokid]

Maybe a couple of frags of polyps or pulsing xenia in the eyes to make it ALIVE!

Maybe a couple of frags of polyps or pulsing xenia in the eyes to make it ALIVE!

That would look wicked!! Love the idea

 

[RDHDDRAGON]

I thought about some frags in the eyes, however the skull is my wrasses hidey hole now. See him in the left socket? lol

Maybe if i could anchor it good enough, I was just worried about him knocking them out. He is a big wrasse! lol
