Those ate great structures Tom. What kind of coral could you mount on the vertical slopes on the structure on the right?

[Grant W]

Those would be great for tabling acros or a wall of zoas.

 

[northbay-reefer]

I would mount some favia or some encrusting montis and zoas

 

[crispyreef]

I'm really excited, thanks again Tom for your creative knack. Can't wait to see it in my tank!

 

[crispyreef]

I think my regal would love a favia

 

[Grant W]

mmmmm faviaaaaaaaa!!!!

 

[northbay-reefer]

I'm really excited, thanks again Tom for your creative knack. Can't wait to see it in my tank!

No problem Chris, when you drop off some more pieces I'll add to the structures and they will be ready to go into your tank. I can come over and help you place it in the tank too if you like.

The regal angel is beautiful but he sure limit what you can put in there. That is why I have a separate angels tank in the garage because I love angel fishes. I am thinking about adding some butterflies fishes too.

 

[crispyreef]

Yea, suprisingly I am able to keep some zoas but not favias. Luckily its my favorite fish in the tank.

 

[Grant W]

Bumpity bump bump!!

I think someone should bring camera to the meeting and take pictures of the meeting, the rock works and maybe the tank, this way we have more pix to post at this meeting and we should do the same for the following meetings.

What? No one else got tanks? Guess I'll post a picture of my W.I.P. let me know what you think.

 

[Grant W]

Lookin good Luis. Does the whole front pop off?

 

[gonzalez78]

Lookin good Luis. Does the whole front pop off?

yeah, the whole front pops off it has one of those magnet things for cabinets one each side. The hood is just sitting on the top of the tank for now when i am done with it i will hang it just waiting for the lights to arrive from China next week.

Dry testing the rock work to make sure it fits. Lit by t5HO white and actinic.


And the future 20L sump.

 

[northbay-reefer]

One you got corals growing on that arch, it will look very cool. I love the right side, it's one of my favorite structure so far.

MY next project is building a double arch rock work

 

[Grant W]

Luis I would get some of the black film for the back of the tank to hide the cords and such or you can just paint it black, blue or whatever you like. The rockwork is going to give you so many options when you start adding corals and such.

 

[AMAYEU]

Very nice Luis ! You have to continually post updates, bc of the meeting aquascape. It's in everyones memory. Nice pico too. What happened to the sump, you derimmed it.

 

[gonzalez78]

@Tom: man are you trying to make me ask for a refund to get the double arch? Haha
@Grant: the back will be painted after it is drilled black so it will hide all the wires and such.
@Mike: i will do my best to keep updates going on this build I'm very excited to finish it. Thanks the pico is just the temporary home for my misbar occy Mr. Peanut
I did derrim the 20L at first because i was going to make it my dt at first but after reading more about bowing on rimless 20L tanks that's when i decided to get the breeder.

 

[gonzalez78]

Back painted and bulkheads in, next stop trimming the overflow. Wood, sending you a pm with my number for when you have time for me to use your table saw.

 

[northbay-reefer]

Very nice, I am starting a new structure and I do offer trade in lol . Dammmm I love that arch
