lol free, as much as my 2 yr old tries to help she maakes a 2 day project take months. only thing i am unsure of is my return and tunze placement. thinking of getting a sea swirl for return. or leave it coming out the one side and put tunze on same side to push water from one side to the other, which in return will push the end water back into over flow. hopefully this coming weekend it will be fill with water and rock. just enough time for me to get more frags at the meeting

and ty rick

Looking good. I like the tank size. The looks nice too do you plan on staining or just poly ?

NYreefNoob · 03-08-2007, 09:29 PM

not sure, wife is pestering me to stain it, but i bought black paint already. i think the black stand and canopy would make the tank stand out more. she wants it stained, so what do you think will happen. and ty the dimensions is what i love about it, wish it had more height but i love the base size 36x24

NYreefNoob · 03-10-2007, 09:52 AM

ok a few more picture's, only bad thing is i have my other tank that i am going to be using the rock from it as well. so driving myself nuts trying to figure a rock formation, i know the main piece's i want thats in new tank and piece's from other tank, guess ill just have to wait till i do switch over to stack rock. last pic is of all stuff going to new tank

Nice tank, I especially like the dimensions.
Was it custom made?

NYreefNoob · 03-10-2007, 10:51 AM

yes it was, someone else had it built and i bought it from them. wish it had more height but i love the depth, and with where i have the tank it allows a great side view which is kinda how i will build rock formation for view from front and right side, and ty

ok now that i have the light's hooked up, still have to move rock around and slowly add old tank to new tank. dont like the 10k bulbs though, makes it too white
