The Dream Tank 400 Gallon Display - IN THE WORKS - Input appreciated!!!!

[Ed Reef]

Sorry to hear about your flame.... sometime moving the LS from old tank to new brings stress to them..

BUT we still want pictures... lol

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Ed, the flame was the same tank hes been in for years not sure why he jumped,....

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Here are some sloppy pictures, they were taken just as the rock work was done so its still a bit cloudy from stirred sand AND my microbubble issue. Ill try to get some more clear pictures after I see if my bubble trap is going to work on the microbubbles in the sump.

 

[obiwanthegoby]

microbubbles hate me...... or maybe they love me...... either way.... they aren't leaving....

 

[JRaquatics]

Your rockwork turned out nice from what I can see. Great job.:thumbsup:

 

[Ed Reef]

Great job on the rock work... lot's of open space for fishes to swim around!!

 

[Ed Reef]

Odd - anyone noticing this - when you type "fishes" it come out "wreathes"

Must be an APRIL FOOL DAY thingy??

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Why does it say christmas tree stand????

 

[obiwanthegoby]

I think Melev is having fun....check out his avatar. I didn't write christmas tree though... or if I did,... I'd like to know what kind of medication I was on...Because aparently it works...

 

[melev]

I don't know what you are talking about. My avatar has the normal scuba diver in it. You're computer must have a virus.

 

[Jhardain]

Yeah I am sure I have seen his avatar scuba diving, after a years hard work of lowering prices at Wal Mart, it is nice to hit the seas.

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Nice april fools day... enjoyed the lawn gnomes and festivities!

Here is a picture with a teflon tape roll for size comparison, and that is a reeflo dart in the background.

Did your fixtures come with glass covers? I never saw any advertised with covers.

 

[melev]

ReefSpecialty (an RC Sponsor) sells them with the tempered glass and a black painted finish (outer shell). They are much heavier, being 20 lbs each, but look great. It just costs more to ship them.

 

[fote03]

Looks great. Keep the updates coming!

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Mine were mounted a little over 24 inches off the tank... and they already have salt spatter on the glass... (they were hung about 2 weeks ago) well worth the extra money for the finished pendants.

 

[obiwanthegoby]

Ok guys I got brave!!! Added four frags of mother colonies from the 120. Everything has been stable for a few weeks now figured I'd give it a shot. Lights are on a four hour photo period until I get evertything moved over and acclimated.... so... here are some pics...

Blue Mille

Green Hydnophora

Acropora Tenius?

Baby blue digi and green monti (green monti has been in the big tank for over a week and looks good.. better actually He was under T-5's in the fuge before intro in to the 400)

and the bubble traps have worked quite a bit had to give it time i guess. I still have Micro Bubbles that I'm working on a second try fix I'm going to modify the pump intake tube to keep the vorticies from coming to the surface....

Also Ive posted to the macro forums and have gotten a few responses as well as a response from wet web media... ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS??!! Its in my 30 gallon fuge on the 120 has been forever.... don't wanna move a nuisance to the big tank though (it never spread in the old system)

I think it should be fine as most of your fishes are small in size, apart for the tangs and Rabbit
