i kinda had an idea for seperate island for an anenome, and once i saw one of the other MR members page with the 500g setup with his anenome island i had to have one...do you think the rockwork is high enough?? should i go higher? its got abt 190lbs of live rock in there now and abt 250lbs of sand

Nice job......cant wait to see some Anemones on that island....:biggrin: Looking good buddy.....

 

[Awibrandy]

Mike, are the islands touching? I can't really tell from the pix, but the same happens to pix of my tank. It is hard to tell. Also, by looking at the pix again I have to agree that maybe you should go a little higher. Not much, just a little.

The islands are abt 5 or 6" away..and I have a few larger pieces that will be going in, but they have star pollops on them and I'm waiting for the tank to cycle b4 I put them in....thanks for all the feedback guys!

[Awibrandy]

Thanks for the extra pix Mike! Much easier to see the formation of the islands. Great work all around there! Hope I can 1 day move my sumps into the basement.

 

[motortrendz]

its a tight squeeze where i got mine.. i can walk in the first 3 ft then i have to crawl to get to the fuge or calcium reactor..lol

 

[Awibrandy]

Dag, and I thought I have low ceilings in my basement.LOL At least I can stand up in mine, just gotta watch out for the main support beams!lol

 

[motortrendz]

lol.. its a half closet that goes under the landing of my main entry of my bi-level home..the room as usless for anything else so might as well make it a filtration room.. my fragging/grow out system is in the garage on the other side of the wall and will be hooked into this system

 

[Awibrandy]
