Default Finally... Pics of Our New BB Tanks

All of our old tanks are gone. Yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Here are pics of our three new BB tanks. Hope to hear your comments on how the BB looks:

Front view of the 37 gallon mixed sps, lps and softie tank:


Front view of our 67 gallon mixed zoo, softie, lps and sps tank:


Front view of our 120 gallon softie tank:


Side view of our 120 gallon softie tank:


Panoramic view of all three tanks in the living and dining rooms:


This morning was tank cleaning and water change day. I used to be able to do the three old tanks by myself in one morning. But we have almost doubled the amount of water with the three new tanks compared to the three old tanks. Had DH Chris assist me this morning with the crud siphoning and water transport. Didn't think we would work very well together, but the whole thing only took about 2.5 hours for the whole task From now on, Saturday morning will be tank day

Nice Beverly. I like the lighting over the 67 gallon tank. What are you running over that one.

Cheers,

Andy

Andy,

The fixture is by Hamiltion bought locally, but this is the one:

http://www.jlaquatics.com/cgi-bin/sh...gno=fl-hd34095

Tubes are a pair of URI 10,000K and a pair of URI actinics. Should have gotten a few pics of the zoos under actinic tonight, but got caught up watching a John Malkovich movie

Lostmind,

Thanks for the kind words. The more we look at the BBs, the more we like them. Don't know how they will work over the long term, but I suppose we will find out.....

Thanks, Azilla

Jim, you and John have seen all three tanks up, so you really DO know how much better they look in person than in the pics

Des, the stands are what make the trio what they are. You've got to come by some time with Caley for a look. Well, once the place gets cleaned up a bit

Doug, yup, just the glass bottom. Was very careful setting up the rock so there were only a few minor crashes.
