I just wish I could get the damsels to sit still long enough for the picture

 

[Ritten]

Nice tank. Is that a lemonpeel angel? What kind of wrasse is that. Love you rock work.

Nice, what kind of lighting on that bow? Did you make your own hood?

 

[know-it-all]

I've got VHO's on that tank
I'll probably need to upgrade to T5's or MH's in the next year
(since everything I read syas VHO's are not going to be made anymore)

I made a hood for it
send me a pm if you'd like to stop by sometime to get an idea
I'm on the NW side of Milwaukee

 

[Thorium]

Hey
I am always curious what people do for their bow fronts and the kind of lighting they can squeeeze in their hoods. I also built my hood and made it a lttle bit bigger to accomadate halides as well as PC's and any future upgrades I might make. Thanks for the invite though.

 

[know-it-all]

sweet hood, I didn't go that detailed with mine

looks like you've a nice looking tank, how about a full pic?
(ya know, for pic's sake)
my SPS tank is still just a bunch of frags and
my softies just got a trim

 

[Thorium]

Thanks, I really had no prior wood working experience and it just sort of evolved.
Heres a bad pic of the reef.

 

[gfk]

nice tank, is that a bunch of blastos in the middle? looks great

 

[Thorium]

Thanks, no blastos their trumpets. Ive got a bunch- I fragged the orginal colony which is out of the picture four times and have continous rapid growth.

Nice tanks Guys!

 

[KingSpade]

how did you mount your seios like that? could you possibly take a pic of the way you have them mounted?? thank you

 

[know-it-all]

KingSpade, I took the bottom cover off to increase the flow.
After that, the brackets are pretty easy to work with

143gadgets, thanks
I think mine looks pretty empty compaired to some other tanks I've seen
but all in good time, this incarnation has only been set-up for 7 months

 

[funkyman]

Wow. Beautiful tank.

i am trying to figure out how i can mount them without the suction cups, i have mine the same way you do for more flow but they are hung with suction cups

 

[know-it-all]

it's clipped over the side of the tank
I think I used 2 brackets mounted together

 

[Thorium]

It should work as know-it-all has stated. I think though that you have to reverse one part to get it to bite into the rivits. And hang it over the tank wall. Thanks, if anyones comments were directed to my tank.
