You got a sump on that thing or just a surface skimming box? And what are thsoe things on the left side in the tank? And how big and what type of tank is that? Me want rimless too
Everyone is going rimless lately. I'm leaning that way too. Are you going to mounts future frags onto the two strips on the left? Did you make that light stand yourself?
Kris, no sump on this thing, no plumbing, no skimmer. that skimming box is the filter. it's the 11.4g Mr. Aqua tank from marinedepot.com. all my electronic equipment and controllers are hidden behind the wall on the left.
Chief, thanks buddy. finally caved in to the reef bug and as always, trying to keep it simple. i used that petco saltwater fyi
grknyer, those two things on the side are actually my live rocks. it was custom cut by a florida supplier no longer in business. it was from a previous project i didn't get to complete: http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum...s-33g-upgrade-will-update-impulsively-12.html
and yes, i am planning to do something with it coral-wise. my gilfriend's dad made the light stand; it's hollow with one side open so that i can tuck the light power wires inside.
dean, awi: thank you. i really like the clean freshwater planted tank look and that's what i'm going for. the ADA tanks didn't have the dimensions I wanted.
crixin, approximate weight of the whole thing sitting on that stand is ~120lb? i thought it was a non-factor on a table with a slate or marble (not sure) top.
Quang, the top of your stand appears to be Marble. Now is it real or faux marble only you can tell. There are faux marble, granite, slate look alike. If it is natural marble, it will show through to the other side. If not it may be a solid color on the underside.
You didn't answer my question.:tongue1: What is the light fixture's stand made of?
The tank looks great Quang. I love the minimalistic approach. What else do you plan to keep in the tank? Also, how often are you doing water changes? Keep us posted on the progress.
dacaptain, thanks. i plan on keeping easier corals--xenias, rics, shrooms, euphyllias...mostly playing around with the color combinations. right now i'm changing 2g a week.
