El Guappo's 72G Bowfront Reef......Many pics Jan 4

[gobytron]

Nice tank.
72 bows make one of the nicest reefs IMO.

Looks like your rock should purple up in no time, I assume by it's appearance that the rock is already pretty established....when's the first addition planned for?

One thing you might consider just to clean things up a little is painting the return black to match everything else so that it blends in more...

Some krylon fusion spray paint would do the trick.

The rock was estabished but i basically kiled it as it sat unheated and no ph for a little over a month. first edition hopefully the second week of june.

There is no need to paint the return as it will be covered by a canopy and all that will be visable is whats under the water. i also wil be putting a backing on the tank when i get the motivation.

Ah...
canopy huh?

All my tanks are open top and so like a jackass, I just assumed by the pic yours was too.

Just working on mounting the lights and fans. Going far slower than planned, but the tanks still cycling so there is no hurry.

My first canopy.... not to sure yet how i feel about them as i am starting to think heat is going to be a major issue. Mostly due to the lights i have..

Dont say no to the canopy!
The canopy was the nicest part of James tank. It pulls the whole clean steel front look together.

tis not going anywhere yet. as you said it looks too nice to get rid off. i am just hoping its not a heat trap with the lights. but i am hoping my cooling system should due the trick. fully automated with temp probs and four 12cm fans.

Lights are in, fans soon as the holes are cut but i forgot to mount them as i was too excited to see thank that i have had running for weeks in the dark under new light.....

Pics to come..
