picked up the new tank last night, wont have time to set it up for a while yet but shes here none the less lol

decided to go with my origional plan of 30 x30 x20h so 75g cube;PPP


the bonzai is gonna look nice with the extra room around it.

That was fast, who ever said Dave takes forever?

no kidding 2 days and she was done lol mine was an easy fast build though no polish and easy overflow.

tank looks stellar though:)


you still coming by after lunch??

Yeap :)

sweeeeeet lol my cell has been MIA for a week but ill be here:)

So I took a few pics of this tank today, wondering if I should post them... Denny's PM box is full (big surprise) so I'm going to leave it up to everyone else if I should post them or not. What do you guys think?

do it up lol :P

Go for it and don't hold back.:biggrin: :thumb:

dude those are soooooo sweet , **** i got to get myself a camera and put the time into learning to use it .


A+ for sure:):)

I see you got the goniopora in there. Sweet :D

Wow, nice pics!! Tank looks really great Denny!

F'n wicked pics

2 words: "Holy Crap!"

The man has skillzzzz

Ya gotta love those macro shots

i have not been ale to get a decent pic of this zoa no matter how i tried but you nailed it :twised:

Denny what type of gorgonian is that i would love to swap a frag of that with mine i have

Yo buddy I'd love some of those in my tank. Lol
I'll trade ya for my mandarin?

it will be a long time before i frag that one , started with 1 polyp and its prob my fave in the tank.

its a yellow jacket zoanthid:)

im not sure of its actual name , but it is not photsynthetic and needs a very large amount of food in the water column all day.

i would gladly cut you a frag though its bright and its food isnt hard to get, def alot easier than other nps gorgs:)

with growth and new fish come new homes , so they bonsai will be moved into this new tank which should add some more comfort to my latest addition:P


unfortunately no glass sandbed in the new tank , i love the idea and its nice now that coraline is starting to grow on it in blotches but i have a few fish i want now that i have a bigger cube.


heres the new tank built by dave at concept , thanks dave!!


77g cube 30" x 30" x 20" high

Looking good Denny, those Yellow Jackets have me drooling :razz:.

Nice shots BTW Steve, good to see someone with an SLR finally made it over to our resident newfies tank!

Anytime Denny, you know the drill. FYI for others I take pictures in exchange for frags and beer :mrgreen:

thanks buddy , funny i seen your cube and ive been jealous of it ever since and realized mine is too tiny lol

your def on the list for the yellow jackets , i started with 1 polyp when we got our order im up to five now , not the fastest grower but quick enough:)

thanks man that was awesome , its the first real pics of ever gotten of it, next time i know a couple of things to do before you come over :)

Yeah like block that window, damn! Still mad about not retaking that first set.

still looks way better than my fts pics , when the new cube is up a running we will do it again.

im also going to have the flow shut off and nps corals fed well before you get here:)

so for the new cube.......


sand or barebottom what do you guys think??

sand for me

I think reef tanks look better with sand, but have seen some beautiful ones without. Seeing as you said you have fish with needs, I'd say sand...:mrgreen:

yeah i want to keep my wrasses in their so ive been thinking sand as well too.

if it helps i will have the following fish , which i already have now:

black leopard
green mandarin
copper band butterfly




i doubt ill add much more than that for now , i prefer low bio loads for fish.

i vote sand to just doesnt look right without it lol

+1 on sand!

Sand for sure

Coarse sand
