That looks awesome! I agree that starting with the open and clean aquascape is the best thing about a big tank.

For those of you who keep the back pane of the tank bare, what is the best way to scrape the glass? Assuming, you cant get your arm back there to use a magnet.

there is a flexible tool with blade to scrape coraline algea and it's about 2' long so you can reach to the back. I might glue a bunch of the metalic GSP and let nature do it course.

Great work Anthony . Hard work paid off at the end... I am sorry for not having the time to help. IMO, aquascape is a one man job and it is all about personal reference. As a matter of fact, i want to be like you when i growth up

Steve thank you this tank wouldn't happened in 5 days without your help.

Some serious consideration on GSP. I use to think the same way but it will spread like wild fire once it get on your rock....

BTW, thanks for the great pizza

don't do what?GSP or upgrade to 1000gal

 

[Jar*Head]

I don't think you can handle the 1000g tank

 

[ycnibrc]

common Steve with you I can have my own ocean in the back yard

 

[jnarowe]

Imagine what the electric bill would be on a 1000g tank in HB! That would hurt.

 

[ycnibrc]

haha Jonathan I'm just kidding with Jarhead since he help me with plumbing. Like I said this will be the first and last big tank I will have....wife will kill me if I want a bigger tank.....I love the open aquascape of the new tank. I didn't know that I have that much of corals in my old tank......

 

[bbehring]

smokin tank Anthony! Love the aquascaping! Steve, I think Anthony needs an OM 8 way! You da man! Great work with the setup and plumbing!

 

[samson78945]

great looking tank!! keep up the great work

 

[ycnibrc]

thanks guy. Now I can concentrate in growing coral. Lost some color when transfer but it will be back in no time. Got some Anthias and a copperband butterfly. I hope it will eat the Aptesia.

Much easier if he has me doing the OM 8 way instead of the funky thing he has me doing. . I was tough plumbing his tank while trying to answer to his question. He kept on asking "Hey man, why are you moving too fast?"
