I think you should get back to the island and get some more work done so you can post some more pics. :lol:

BTW thanks for the lead on acro's tank setup :cool:

I just may have to head out there and see it. From the thread, it looks like he bought the 10" clam from hidden reef! I wondered who had bought that!

Looks good :cool: Your lights make me think I should have gone with radiums instead of halides. That your your choice from the start ? I could never firmly decide :rolleyes:

What are the dimensions of the tank???

[/quote]Brennan Nice setup there buds. Have you thought about sticking a foam on the top of the return of the skimmer .

and it will cut down on the splash too.

I think the foam is in the correct position... the water flows down the tube into the sponge and if you have the water level about half way up the sponge it doesn't splash at all... I might be wrong but I am preetty sure that is were it is meant to be :cool:

Its funny how everyone compares size of stuff to beer cans...just an observation, and i dont mean anything by it...;-)

I've had a few beers...that sump is looking really really good! :razz:

Hi,

just wondering if you have any protections (such as starboards) between the bottom glass and rocks? I am thinking of going BB too, looking for advices.

thank u :biggrin:

In our three BB tanks, we just have the the rock on the bottom of the glass.

I wasn't my choice from the start (BTW, Radiums are halides, just 20K colour) as I was going to go 10K XMs, but after looking at what these bulbs look like on an HQI ballast, I was sold on them.

Nahh, to lazy to put any plastic down. I think that it may have helped with aquascaping (glass is slippery) but I'm not sure as I have never tried starboard. Personally I think it is a fad, I don't think any of the rock in my tank could fall fast enough through water to crack the bottom. Maybe if you have that 40lb piece of rock that you want right at the top of the pile :razz: , otherwise I wouldn't bother with the plastic, waste of money. In a while the bottom will look the same in boths situations, covered in coralline algae!

I like the coral line algae plan :cool:

That looks great! Very bright too!
:biggrin:
