im shure red coral would love to build you one just like it, the wife picked the stain and it did turn out nice so im likely gonna get 2 6foot stands built for the next project

Rbacchiega- im glad you like the tank its almost a standard 130g but getting the small eurobrace and the black silicone gives it a bit more class than just a regular tank

the plans for the tank is all sps with maybe a few clams
my fish list so far is
1 blue spot jawfish
1 mystery wrasse
possibly a flame angel im iffy on this one due to their behavour around corals and clams
maybe a blenny of some kind since they make me laugh
maybe 1 or 2 orchid dottybacks

wow how did i miss this thread earlier. tank looks great, makes me want to get the sapphire tank now. i hope those bulkheads can handle the flow you tend on putting through the tank. i guess you have the vortech to create lots.

ill be running about 700gph through the tank and the rest into a small fuge in the sump, i don't think ill have any issues, ive usually used 1" bulkheads on most tanks with about 1200gph or more and no problems, ill be relying on the vortec for the actual flow in the tank and if i think their is a need i could always add a second one

Are you going to stuff two teks in that canopy? Thats a kick-ass list of equipment, this should be a killer tank. Looking forward to water.

yes thats exactly what i plan on





after putting in bulbs im not all that impressed with the par numbers and im a bit unshure if the teks are gonna be stayin which really sucks since even though i got them for good prices if i sell them now brand new ill probably loose a bunch and have to spend a bunch more on something else.

huzah. Looking great.

Why don't you just try different bulbs? Saying that, what are you running in the units right now?

I cant believe there was enough room in the canopy for two tek units. I kept it as narrow as I could and worried that I may have screwed you for retrofits....guess not.With eight bulbs to play with you shouldnt have any problem finding the color you like.
