New aquascape

kuramura · 01/25/2009, 06:37 PM

After seeing some tanks with corals lower under water and less LR in display I decided to give my fish more space to swim and keep glass clean.
What you guys think?

What are the props on the wall? Looks nice.

Bolo Tran · 01/25/2009, 07:37 PM

What kind of pumps are on the wall? Looks wicked

60Cubed · 01/25/2009, 07:56 PM

What the.......? Please tell us what those are?

oldreefer76 · 01/25/2009, 08:27 PM

Yes Tell

unseen_clone · 01/25/2009, 08:29 PM

guys please stay on subject, awsome rescape and your corals look great..

WHAT KIND OF PUMPS ARE THEY!!!!!!
lol

TheReefKeeper · 01/25/2009, 08:44 PM

Looks better now!! But with those hanging off the wall it's hard to focus on the tank. I would also like to know what the heck those are (Home made vortech's)?

JustinReef · 01/25/2009, 08:56 PM

Hmmm...I can't stop looking at those red "things" on the tank walls long enough to say if I like the before or after more

No seriously it looks good except for those "things" LOL.

kuramura · 01/25/2009, 09:08 PM

LOL

Thanks for noticing my rockwork.

BTW these are some old magnetic driven propeller pumps I slapped together out of parts laying around

Boyman · 01/25/2009, 09:10 PM

Retro style ftw!

Really??!?!

What kind of flow numbers do you anticipate? With a three bladed prop I'd imagine they really move some water. If you would have used black instead those would be perfect.

Wrassemeister · 01/25/2009, 10:53 PM

sweet tank... more info on the pumps please!

r-balljunkie · 01/25/2009, 11:05 PM

Great looking makeover, like the jenny jones show (I miss her, come on admit, she was kinda hot, in a weird dorky way). I am a big believer in minimalism, when it comes to rcokwork. Great job working with what you got. bow/corner tanks are toughies!

no more rockwall of death, muh hah hah hah

Looks good.
.............and yes more on those wicked looking pumps....kinda Mel Gibson - road warriors!

Goodwood · 01/26/2009, 01:39 AM

Rock looks much better.

You are still short a few rudders and a boat.

Rhizo · 01/26/2009, 02:59 AM

New look is certainly better

Offer any field trip days

hal000 · 01/27/2009, 10:48 AM

Looks like a blender!!! Seafood milkshake anyone!! LOL
Just kidding, looks great, coral's also look more colorful!

parkavenuereef · 01/27/2009, 11:44 AM

Nice tank! love the pumps!

kuramura · 01/27/2009, 01:51 PM

Thanks guys, the pumps are in testing stage but for some reason I like red plastic, might try to make some black ones if I find someone who wants to buy few.... wink, wink.
I'm trying different props but the flow is amazing. No dead zones and yet send doesn't fly around.

denash24 · 01/29/2009, 02:33 AM

Well, I liked the old look pretty well but the new look is better.

elijaher · 02/22/2009, 10:25 PM

You know we going to ask about the pumps, rocks look a lot better, but those pumps love it.
