[Anonymous]

Great tank Nanogurl! Very creative aquascaping.

And welcome to RDO. (I think I know you from another board, where I go as Tang Salad... Do you still have the eel?)

Now that's a shocker 8O

Thanks! Wow, have not talked to you in forever. Nope, I placed him in another home. I broke down all of my other tanks except two nanos and the 120g.

very nice! did you drill your rock to make it stay like that? and how do you keep the glass so clean?!

 

[Posh]

Thanks =) Lotsa scraping!

My bf made the columns by drilling the rock and using PVC and reef epoxy to hold them together. Here are some photos for you. Ignore the carpet, that was pulled up and thrown away which is why we used it.

Here is some background info and photos from moving the tank into an in wall.

Here is the wall where the tank goes.

Hole cut in the wall. It was really odd looking at that LoL

The new stand built higher then the Tech Stand.

New plubming! Best part, I had to do nothing!

Tank in place and the trim up. Everything was level.

Lights! This is how the tank looked right after getting it all setup.

The crown molding and trim still needs to be painted and put in.

Another view with the tank lights off. The color of the wall is light beige.

Some of the crown molding installed.

Anudder view of the tank.

How about maintenance? Are you dosing 2 part , Kalk, I don't see a Ca Rx listed in the equipment.

What have been the major differences between this and your previous tank?

 

[Posh]

Nope, we don't dose anything extra or run any equipment other then the skimmer, heater, return & nanostreams.

Which tank did you mean? The 75? Probably the SPS frags. We have some very nice ones now, where the 75 was mainly LPS and softies. That and this tank is BB vs sand.

I followed your build on RC. Glad to see you here, I prefer this site better. This site there are folks who are there to help and not just make comments.

May Update

Hi everyone! It's been a few weeks so I thought I would update the thread and let everyone know what's going on. The tank is doing awesome! The new SPS frags we got have all done really well. They are growing and keeping their color nicely. I was really happy about that since previously we have not had much luck with SPS.

Here is the latest FTS
