Isla Escondido - invincible569's Rimless 300g

[crab0000]

Wow, teachers must make more in Cali than in GA!

 

[Leopard Man]

Breathtaking to say the least.

What are the rules for making a rimless tank? What type of glass and how do you know how thick the glass should be?

Thanks

Andy, Apogon leptacanthus.

Leopard, you would have to contact Aquarium Environments in Houston to get those answers. I didnt make it From what naka told me, he uses formula's and mathemetics to find a limit.

Not much else going on over here. Just watching the SPS rock glamour up. I have a lot of brownies, but im seeing coloring on those corals finally. In a yr, they will all be blossomed out to its true potential.

how all those nemos can share the anemone? looks good

Here's some from a japanese reefer with the carpets I mentioned earlier.

on the left hand side 2 Big Mac will be able to get him full. everything else looks awesome. what glue are you using to hold acros down? keep them pics coming Ed

 

[jnarowe]

I wonder how it works with territorial issues? I cannot imagine my maroons sharing an anemone with other fish. I mean, they host in 3 right now and won't let any fish near them. I call it the "Triangle of Pain"! :lol:

 

[invincible569]

speedstar, whenever my corals grow we can definitely make a trade. Thanks for the offer once again.

cbui, i havent been using any glue. I just started to use Deltec's epoxy for the ponape birdnest naka gave me, but thats it. All the other frags go in crevices off the rocks side.

I've finally added the 20k Spotlight to the right side since the left one has been a success. When I turned it on today, it looks more purple than blue. It definitely doesnt illuminate like the 65K on the left side. The greens and blues off the corals fluoresce better and it also now gives the sunlight shimmer effect on the right side also. This a pic of only 2 150w spotlight on each side with the Giesemann T5's on only. Makes me wonder what it would look like if I double teamed the rock on the left with both 20k and 65k. hmmm

I'm also curious about getting a spotlight, where do recommend looking, and what options did you consider? Thanks.

I sent you guys a PM for the spotlight info. mcliffy, your inbox was full.

melev, sorry Im not going to the marsh gathering. Maybe some other time.

Charles, Im using a Giesemann Spectra, 72" - 3x250w SE 13K Marine & 4 80w T5's Giesemann Actinic Plus and ATI Blue Plus. I only use 2 of the MH's on that fixture as 3 is too powerful at 4 hrs/day.
