It's alive!

[dannieboiz]

Well not really, but soon there will be life!

This is the 2nd day that my tank was filled with water.

48x24x24 three side star fire.

took me about 6 months doing bits and pieces here and there. But in this past week I've spent about 50 something hours on completing it.

After all the work I just gotta show it off to you guys!

I'm gonna take it easy on the pictures until I start to stock it up.

Elite told me that after it's filled up with water, the tank is going to look really narrow because the effect of the starfire glass. I thought that was just an imagination but if you look at the first picture, it doesn't look like it's 24" deep. Maybe I'm just tripping?

That is pretty bright man. I think I will use 10K with actinic too.

 

[dannieboiz]

That's Ushio 10k (very old bulbs) along with just 1 URI Super Actinic.

 

[Elite]

That is pretty nice. Are you going to stick with that?

Nice tank... and like the rock work.. that will look very nice once coraline builds up and with coral.

maybe if I ever decide to move the tank downstairs into the basement, maybe I'd go for a 180 or 220 sized starfire tank. and use my 100 as a prop tank hahhhhah.. but thats down the line

Bring your Reeflux over to test it out.

I still haven't fired the new reeflux up yet, but this Ushio and the VHO seems pretty nice. I'd imagine another VHO would look much nicer.

the Usio alone is very yellow though.

Look pretty white in the picture. When are you going to get the replacement bulbs.

 

[dannieboiz]

Shoot, I dunno he hasn't order it yet. Hopefully soon.

 

[dannieboiz]

Here's just 1 VHO. Pretty bright for 1 actinic, debating on if I should go with 2 VHO or add a T5 460nm.

 

[Lordhelmet]

add some T5's

 

[650-IS350]

T5's man....

 

[dannieboiz]

I guess that wouldn't hurt to have a T5 in the front, consider it done.

Lemme show off the sump.

and just half a day of skimming.
