did this saturday night. rock and sand came from an existing tank. this is a 75 gallon acrylic, with the "sump" in the back. i wasnt going to set this up yet, but got a deal on the rock and sand from a guy i know not too far from me. ( no, not the guy from the lfs) that, and fazgood kept twisting my arm i have a genx-24 for a return pump, and the light is a coralife compact. need some more rock, and the heater will be in the sump. pic is a little fuzzy. the tank is still trying to settle. more to come later. what do you think so far.

We need to get you hooked on some tunze nanostreams. Are you doing this tank as a mixed reef or FOWLR?

 

[rccub23]

this will be a mixed reef tank. will keep mostly softies.

 

[logiktest]

That tank is awesome! Glad you kept it. Will you be transferring the contents of your 20 into it, or starting anew? What are your plans for the "sump"?

That looks just like the acryllic tank we gave away at a swap meet last year, LOL. There was a stand with it also but it was not in good shape at all. The tank looks awesome, good luck and keep the pics coming.

I had that tank for a few years...I have some great pics of it as a freshwater planted and a mixed reef.

It looks great, keep it going.

Ya better get used to that type of treatment around here. Cause it happens a lot

So you took all of the rock yesterday, none was left when I showed up. And the brats looked a "little overdone"

 

[rccub23]

funny, there was alot of rock still there when i left. and the brats were incredible. maybe someone is trying to tell you something.

 

[Reggae Fish]

Yeah, I don't know if we had a problem with the scale or what but I only get 105 Lbs. of rock and I know I had way more.

 

[DrBDC]

Those brats were perfect! :lol:

We finally ate about 11ish. It was worth the wait though. As soon as we revived everyone that was passed out from hunger it went well.
