it will be fine for a baby hippo... but when it starts to grow hes gonna have to make a choice either find it a suitable home or upgrade....

Nice Will, Hey did u ever get my pm?

 

[reefman]

i like the tv u attached on the overflow.:lol:

 

[oonycxwilloo]

lol, you think its a good idea to put one of those black film sheets in the back of my tank? would that look better?

So over all what do you guys think of this tank?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

will to be honest with ya it def. needs more work... i found out when people werent honest with me and my tank looked like **** and they said it looked good i didnt strive for much... but when they told me the truth and said it needed more work i got to work and did it up even nicer.... so i say get to work will... and ull have a beautiful tank.... ur headed in the right direction....

 

[reefman]

i agree with tony. truth is usually good.
wil's tank is just a few months old so it can't be compare with the established ones. for a new setup, its pretty nice. just need a few minor improvements.
background will help the looks. also try some way of controlling phosphate like using a reactor and get a ro/di. increase water flow n move the leather off the sand onto a rock crevice. try to keep the sand bare to increase more bottom flow. get some sand stirrer like brittle, cucumber(the sand sifting kind).
