50 gallon Carpet tank New Pics
 
So we have never really had a tank journal, we are spontaneous we want a tank well just go and buy everything for it that day. But this one we are doing slowly for now. All our rock is dried rock form an dried up ancient reef 50 pounds and seeding it with about 10 from our current tank.

As for equipment

There was a nice green carpet for sale at Blue world a few days ago.

I love the set up so far, looks like it will be a pretty cool tank when it's done.

the paint looks good.
did you buy another mp40, or did you take one off the 180?

BlueTang<3 05-01-2010 04:24 PM

We are going to probably get another one if i pull one out of the display it changes the wave alot. Well after you came and fixed that plug i ended putting a gfi plug there anyways. The painting turned out fairly nice ran out of paint halfway on the grey.

love the stand man ... well done

Thanks guys i still need to finish the corner but i think it turned out ok, something different. Don't like all the equipment in the tank or on the back, thinking of getting a overflow and sump or maybe just live with it.

Love the tank looking great the carpet is a wicked color too.

BlueTang<3 07-22-2010 12:58 PM

Thanks i have been lucky for with the two carpets in that small of a tank. With no flow that giganta opens to about 16" across so he is growing quick. I have to run carbon and a lot of it or else the tank goes cloudy. I would imagine this is the carpets fighting.

awesome tank blue, carpets are beautiful .im in the process of turning my smaller tank into a carpet tank for just the one carpet and some cinn clowns:) debating on whether my sea pen is gonna be his tank mate yet or not:) cheers to a beautiful tank :):)
