Man... GO for it.... I guess you would be an exception. Plus, we did establish earlier that we were just being facetious.

I will post mine soon as well.

Here's my shallow reef. It's 24" by 24" by 12". At one time was just clams. but has evolved into a reef I guess. It is plumbed into a 265 gallon reef.

I have a 60x16x11 high that im setting up along side of my 210. i was thinking of using it as a display fuge/ invert, softie tank. was thinking of using the first 4.5 feet with a shallow bed and towards one end put up say a six inch high glass baffle and egg crate and run a 6 in. deep bed for the remaining 1.5 ft. with chaeto.does this make any sense to you guys?being so shallow i dont think the display portion would need tons of flowfrom main system and by the time the flow from a power head made it 4.5 feet it would have dwindled off right. am i an idiot for thinking about doing this.

guess i need to work on my math skills. i got 6 feet out of a 5 foot tank.

Jumping in. 24x24x16 GC. DIY stand Elos style but not quality. I soon learned I'm definitely not a cabinet builder.

Excuse the mess. Still not done yet..... and never will be.

kc350twin - could you share with us how you made that arm for your pendant? I'm trying to figure out how to make something alot like that and would appreciate any info i could get, thanks!

 

[kc350twin]

It is the ZeroEdge unit. The SLB 14 It's probably the only thing I'm keeping from that tank. It has two set screws in the back for easy height adjustments. Really nice. I have heard a few complain that it doesn't fit many lights thought. I have to extend mine a little because the light sits too far back. Hope this helps.

Hi kc350twin, what brand of sand do you have in your tank? It look grey. I've never seen it before, very nice.

updating my tank on here..AO 100g 48x30x18, sorry I suck at taking pictures.

It's impossible to take a bad picture of an Elos tank. Brilliant!


I like that you followed the uncluttered simple design of the outside of your tank with the aquascaping.
