BMahuras 144 Gallon Bowfront *New pics
 

Hey everybody.
So this will be my first tank journal and im very excited about my new tank. After having my 55 for a year and a half and becoming obsessed with reef keeping i decided to upgrade my tank
So here's what i have so far

144 gallon display with duel overflow
50 gallon sump
Poseidon PS4 External Pump
48" Aquamedic 2X250W MH Fixture with 2 X PC bulbs
48" Coralife 2X54W T5HO Fixture for supplemental lighting.
Vertex IN 180 protein Skimmer.
4 korallia 4's
along with lots of other equipment.
I just picked up the tank tonight from Carmen, its sitting in my garage right now and im hoping to set it up tomorrow. and start filling it tommrow as well
Cant wait to get the system up and running
Pictures to come tomorrow

Cool. I have the same tank. Only complaint is that it is extremely hard to get any good pics due to the curvature of the glass.

Ya i thought about tat before i bought the tank but the tank is just so nice that i can live with that.
How do you have you Aquascaping. im not to sure what im going to do and i was looking for some ideas.

I have mostly branching tonga rock so I have alot of caves. The center is pretty much all open. My camera is charging right now but I can PM you a pic if you want once it's charged.

Alright sounds great. i would love to see some pics. Im not 100% sure what im going to do but im looking at doing 2 coloums on each side with a large arch going across the top

Tank setup
 

Hey guys. I finally got my tank in my house and its all set up and in final stages of plumbing. I'm getting live rock tomorrow and aquascaping in the next few days

Now the fun part starts. You might want to out a whack of towels down for your tank transfer as too not p**s off whoever cleans your house.

Ya i know. Im offically done plumbing. i hope to get my new RO system set up under the sink which is a couple meters away from the tank. Im aquascaping and filling with water and probablly waiting for a week and hope it doesnt cycle. cant wait to get stuff in it though

so your the one who got Carmens sexy, curvy tank......just remember bud......your patients is why the 55 went well.......just do like you did before and she will be spectacular......

Yes I am the one who bought the sexy curvy tank:). I hope to aquascape this weekend. I was wondering how much rock would be a safe amount to take out of my 55. I would like to take as much as possible but am unsure what a safe amount to leave in would be.
