This old 1500 gallon reef

[Bill Wann]

After having my tank running for a few years now ,I decided to repair a few things, Frist the aquascaping ,lighting and flow .Thia is how my rocks came out so far , hard to take a picture of this . The rocks were dried the I used a two part epoxy to bond them together the way I wanted , behind th erosk are 56 34 inch locknine returns powerd by 4 rk2 1/4 hp pumps and 8 spears electric ball valves . I hope thi sis enough flow . I also hacked off th eoverflow that was on th eback of th etand and made to side ones .

Wow. Thats awesome. Hey Bill, do you belong to C.M.A.S by chance? Also, I saw your trading in the lumenarcs, may I ask what you are upgrading too? Thanks.

Not much into clubs and such . Iam going to use industrial light units , kinda like what you see in large wharhouses , I like the because the reflector seems to put more llight in the water and the ballast is mounted right in the reflector .

How is the foam backing holding up?

Thought that it was a naturally light tank, is this not so? Thought that I'd read that somewhere about a month or so ago. Looking good though!

glad to see you are still around Bill. I'm looking forward to see your pride and joy up and running again soon!
