Do you have nice aquascaping? if so let's see it.. - Page 4

rogergolf66 · 12/14/2007, 11:06 PM

I like that also but what do you do about filtration?

panic · 12/14/2007, 11:13 PM

I keep some in the sump with no light, and with light in the refugium and frag tank. About 300# in a 500 gallon system. The refugium also has a DSB which helps buffer the BB display and frag tank

short of kips and oregon that is the must beautifl scape around IMO.
Then again is all a matter of taste since that reef is not aN SPS.

Yep, that's exactly the point...........the aquascape makes the tank outstanding. It has nothing to go with the types of corals. Sure, there's some nice colored dendros in there, but most of the stuff is bland colored & common softies, nems & clams.

I love the two island look, very nice brianbigoats and NanoManMaster.

I never get tired of looking at your tank Gary. Very beautiful and I love the aquascapeing. Is the imperator still being a good boy?

Thanks. "Good boy" is a matter of opinion. It's not bothering the corals and clams that I now have. It does shove the other fishes around. The other night it grunted so loud that it startled the living crap out of me.

I think this is one of the best two islands I've seen.

I think with two islands one island needs to be substantially smaller to keep it from looking too symmetrical.

Here is my tank, currently under construction. The tank is 4ft front to back, and the depth doesn't show up well in pics, but you'll get the idea. The aquascaping is off the back wall, and all of the pumps will be hidden behind the rockwork. Additionally, the pumps aren't visible from the side because the tank is recessed into the wall by 1 ft.

From the top.

Here is a link to my build thread.

That's a crazy looking setup. You got to take pics when your corals and fish are placed. Al
