Thanks man. I'm using h2ocean salt. Just the normal, might be looking at the the pro because it is cheaper

Looks good, wish I had a tank that nice at that age but I only dabbled in FW/reptiles as I knew SW was another ball game .

Love the idea if a plate garden. I have to pass the concept off to a friend with a 180g frag tank.

Very nice. Im between this and the shallow 80 from them. But more likely gonna take advatage of the $1 a gallon sale at petco and set up a 40breeder with 20 or 29 sump. Then once I get the hang of it get the shallow 80

the 40b are a fantastic size and go for the bigger sump, my sump is only a 16g tall

Very cool! I love seeing how this tank has evolved..
It was made to view corals from above..
You should try to find some deep water plating acros, they'd look great in there..
Nice concept and really neat look- especially now that you've built up the section in front of the overflow and have that piece of rock coming out of the water..
Congrats on putting it all together!

Thank you so much, here in the uk corals are much harder to find but I will be looking. Got my dosing pump and just setting it up which will hopefully mean more growth and I am also going to start vodka and mb7 dosing.

Thanks mate. I love the rock work coming out, the rock is still new so the stuff under the water isn't purple yet

 

[k4ndyk1ng]

New fts! Not really much happening but getting a coral delivery on Tuesday, so expect some pictures coming this way soon thanks for looking

 

[reefmutt]

Looking good. I want to see some colonies growing in there, soon!
