My tide pool tank....

[Flamehawk]

I haven't posted on here in awhile, so I thought I would tonight. ;] I recently relandscaped my 3x3' holding tank to make it look more like a display tank. I added live rock in the center not just for my corals but also for my fish since I discovered they were all hiding under the same rock at night.

Dimensions of this tank are 5x3' but only 3x3' is used for display, the rest is a sump + live rock storage (lol). It is 15" deep.

Fish: Bangai cardinal, Peppermint hog, Yellow belly hippo, White cheek tang, Tomini tang, Purple tang, and Radiata Lionfish. My lionfish never bothers anyone.

I'm running a 250w doubled ended HQI bulb in a lumenarc reflector. Big euro-reef skimmer, korallia powerheads, and Aqua medic OR3500 for circulation. It is a barebottom tank with lots of snails, sea cucumbers, but no hermits.

Now for the pics!!

The new addition!

That is a beautiful set-up. Where did you get the tank from? Was it made in Miami?
Beautiful tank.

Grat job with that tank! Congrats!

Hey Flamehawk, did you have it built in Miami? If so, do you know if the builder is still making tanks? I would like to get an estimate for an idea I have and would like to speak to someone locally. Thanks,

Rafael
