I think you need a bigger tank!

Except maybe the guy with the 1700 gallon ray tank

Quite a diffrence, looks great. Why did you make the change? Better flow? More room for corals? Just wanted a diffrent look?

Me likey...

 

[J_Geisinger000]

awsome new design

I hope my new sps tank will look this great some day :rollface:

 

[clkwrk]

Thanks Whiskey! I reaquascaped for more room for corals to grow out some more and to create something different with more of an open look . Honestly if my orginal aquascaping was still in place I most likely wouldn't have done a thing but I have been somewhat unhappy since I had to tear it down to get a kill sps eating chromis. Here is a pic of the orginal aquascaping.

Before corals

and before the breakdown reaquascaping.

G-money -Thanks I was hoping for different and openlike.

J_Geisinger000- Thanks give it time and good husbandry it will come BTW my 120 was setup only a year ago.

[Sparkss]

How did you manage not to scratch your acrylic?

 

[clkwrk]

I am careful Although I did make one good scratch. I popped one of my tunze of the magnet and it dropped. Well I tried to get it with the outside part of the magnet holder catching a snail in between . Ouch caused a 10in long deep scatch that I haven't yet fixed.I also have lil scratches from my tang pecking at the front and sides .

 

[Lights Are Bright]

How do you fix your scratches? I use those kits but after I buff out a scratch, it becomes hazy like.

 

[clkwrk]

I use that blue lifeguard acrylic repair kit and really work the last 5 grits. Yeah it may show a little hazy but thats better than an algea filled scratch.IMO

 

[Lights Are Bright]

That's the one I have. My entire front panel has a bunch of scratches and knicks all over the place, so my tank would be like looking into a haze.

 

[clkwrk]

Na I had an old 75 that was tore up from the floor up and I sanded it all with everything in still. It gets hazy if you hurry through the steps . For me it took a month of a hour here and an hour there. Afterwards it look great it reallt wasn't until I drained it I could see the hazyness.

 

[Morgandy]

This is a great and unique design! I really like the re-do, the airiness, and your corals are TO DIE FOR!!!!! I've also decided I like the clean look rather than all the coralline on the back that I had on my 210, so I really like how crisp it is. Great tank, very jealous.

 

[Kent E]

This last scape is perfect. You still has the same affect of space and yet the symmetry is broken up. Great job!

 

[clkwrk]

Thanks folks . I am having a hard time deciding about the bridge. Here it is now with out the bridge.

Help :lol:
