The Austrian Drop Off Tank - Page 11

since you're the inspiration for my "dream tank", I thought I'd share the thread link here:

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2589632

It's getting closer. I changed it from a dropoff tank to a dropoff + cave tank

yes i am not happy either... will work on something new!

great tank. can you give your opinion on the coral box d500, pros and cons? i'm considering getting one since it seems to be a perfect fit for my sump and 60 gallon mixed reef set up.

thanks

hi!

thanks! i really can´t recommend it... i switched it for a new Bubble King Double Cone 200.
The coral box wasn´t working right for me because it didn´t build a constant skimmate...

now having the Royal Exclusive for over 2 months i am more than happy!

Cheers

Tank looks amazing, could you give me your opinion on the pacsun unit vs the ati hybrid?

reefmutt · 08/26/2016, 04:37 PM

Love your latest shots, Flo.
The fourth one looks like it's about to take off and I love the colour and texture. Really nice.
And number 6 looks like there's a little monster face looking up at us from the centre of the coral.
