very nice 72 bow...
I am impressed by your top, I run open top and had a pinkspot prawn goby jump out, but thats it out of all the basses, basslets and other known jumpers that I have...

I like how open your scape is as well, nice work all around.

bowfronts are tough to photograph but I think you did a good job there too.

I used the plastic type netting on my 180g with MHs, no melting. However large fish, e.g. tangs that are over 5", can jump THROUGH it if they REALLY want out. Its awesome though for everything else.

You did a great job on bending it to shape!

I have to say, that is one nice looking tank.....

All to often I see tanks just plugged with live rock, personally I don't care for the look of live rock at the best of times but know we need it in our tanks.

One piece of advice, "Don't add anymore rock". What you have just looks perfect and balanced to me.

Nice work....

I have it quite "tight" so that I don't think a large fish could push it up. It sits wedged just under the light bracket so it's not sitting ontop lightly but set in abit (if that makes any sense). The only thing getting through this one would be a small fish possibly like a dartfish or something. (Atleast I hope!!)

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Well, I never did do a proper journal but thought I'd just add some updated pics of my tank now 7 months old. I have officially been in the saltwater hobby now for a year! WHOOHOO! Started my adventure with a 27G Bowfront ghetto set-up. (See the pic)
So here's a few pics of then and now fo anyone interested! ENJOY!
27 G Nano Starter! Kinda makes me laugh now!


Today 72G Bowfront




Many of the fishies!
