180g. FOWLR Rescape

[prattreef]

After 3 months of sitting fallow due to the persistence of a particularly pernicious parasite, it is finally time to re-start the 180g. FOWLR. Yesterday was aquascape day.

Looks great. Now for the fish

How can you not put corals on those!!! Awesome scape...perfect for some sps!!

 

[prattreef]

All my coral mojo goes into the main reef. Possibly some softies and 'shrooms and such in this one, but looking to create something different--still not sure what exactly.

Can't wait to see more, I really like the aquascape.

 

[duromega]

That scape begs to be a reef

+1 love the tonga branch look . . . If I can ever convince the general (aka wifey) to get another tank I will definitely have to copy this aquascape.

Thanks for sharing

Duro-- it was a group effort
Rich-- yeah, yeah I know
Reef Monkey-- thanks.

Still ruminating over what this system will become....

That moment of anticipation when UPS has delivered your boxes intact and on time, and you have no more worries despite the frigid temperature because you KNOW Live Aquaria has expertly packed your shipment to deal with it.





This bunch of bags was for 3 fish!



And the 4th was shipped in huge bags 5 layers thick.

Multiple heat packs per box and Water temp. was 72 degrees. The fish seem to be in great shape. Fantastic job Kevin Kohen and crew. You are truly the best in the business.
