I think the CVRC decided to adopt the tank I set up at the Tanning Salon as Project Reef Tank, So I thought you all might like to see some Pictures of the tank.

Nice. Is it ready for corals and such yet? Where's the "live" rock? What size tank? I'll donate some zoas whenever it's ready.

 

[mcox33]

This is the rock from the old Project Reef Tank that was at the restraunt.

 

[firefish2020]

Nice I will have to drp by to aquascape it a bit more, but it looks great IMO :thumbsup:

 

[sixliner6]

It looks like the same picture 5x.

 

[Nathan4Wvu]

Is that a green foil backgroung behind the tank?? I would remove it it throws the color of the tank way off anf it looks trashy lol But thats just mt 2 cents

Besides that its a great start those are some nice base rock peices too.

 

[mcox33]

no actually it isn't green foil something to do with the light I am sure,. But honestly I never looked at the background before posting the pictures. It is just a regular saltwater scene tank background. Most likely the green plants on either side of the tank reflecting through the glass.

 

[mcox33]

Okay Barry donated a new background and 2 skunk clowns.

Here are a couple of new pictures

Good lord two yellow tangs!! And they dont seem to move in the pics!


I'm just kidding, just kidding...lol! looks good though!

 

[firefish2020]

LOL those are the good ones that don't get to big for small tanks

 

[mcox33]

Hey they don't even budge from their favorite spot when I feed the skunks either. I don't know I hope they survive, Since the tangs won't eat I am a little worried about their surviving. LOL

 

[Brock Fluharty]

I'd get a normal deep blue background. I'm not a bi fan of the "picture" backgrounds. I think they look dumb. That's like putting fake plastic corals in a reef tank...I have some orange zoa frags I got from Phil. They are small, but whenever the proper lighting is in place, I can ship them to you Mary, or whoever.

 

[mcox33]

lighting is fine for zoa and other softies. Maybe even lps. but not sps yet.

 

[mcox33]

Okay I took some more pictures yesterday

Some coral has been donated to the tank and I wanted to post new pictures. while thanking all those who have donated.

Also I have the skimmer from Jason. He has modded it again and it works even better.

 

[joyski58]

Good idea to post these pics, so people know there really is a project reef tank to donate to. I second the blue background. But what you have is way better than seeing the wires hanging down the back. Hate that.

 

[rnhrtfan]

looking good! hey speaking of those yellow tangs they look just like the one in my tank and it don't move either.?. I agree with the background, I'm about to ditch the yellow tang and paint the back blue.

 

[Altpers0na-old]

i see the star polyps are doing well....

darn things grew over every inch of that funky rock-thing they were on..

nice mounting...

 

[mcox33]

Thanks guys, The background was a donation from Barry at Jo-Mars, and was the only one he had in stock to fit the tank that day. Plus it is way better than the first one. But I agree with blue or black. I have black at home and really like it. But may do my next one in blue.
