Tank is looking good, I enjoy checking out your tank build tread, and can't wait to see the tank with fish and coral in there.

Now I have to go rent that movie, LOL! I have a few snails in there and a hermit crab. Have not seen them since I put them in there. There are a few soft corals in there now, but the seven foot wide tank just eats everything up. I wonder how long it will take to stock the thing, but that's the whole fun ofit, aside of the cash you have to drop. I still have not gotten used to it. We're putting the stuff in so the coraline algae grows and the pod popuation blossems. I already can't wait for the sump and refugium to be done in the basement so I can have my Mantis shrimp I have been dying for. The 55g tank that the fish are in now will be the refugum in the very near future.
Next up is the wave maker thing to mimick the ocean, protein skimmr and big huge pump for the system. I am still on the fence about upgrading the lights but the MH do add that special shimmer. Oh and more live rock, I hate buying that stuff, prime cuts of meat cost less then rock, imagine that... Last edited by my2rotties; 11-11-2008 at 07:53 PM. Reason: I'm a dummy

Great mind think alike... When I have bought things from members, the info and knowledge far surpasses what money can buy at a LFS. You meet awesome people and get the best ideas and make friends as well.

Go
Hey,
I was just looking at your pictures and a thought occured to me about the windows on the sides of the tank. How much sun do you get from them? I know that in the summer (Okanagan) I get quite the build up of algae on my tank. I never close my blinds. But in the winter it goes away. Looks really great, are you putting fish in? ________ herbal vaporizers Last edited by Leah; 01-20-2011 at 10:54 AM.

Hi Leah this was a concern to me as well. However the house is set into the trees in the forset so not much sunlight gets in behind. Also when the tank stand gets clad in stone, we will clad the side of the tank where the overflows are to hide them completely. Another option on top of the stone on the back parts of the sides was to tint the windows, but again not much light get through those windows on each side. We are still renovating the house but there will be blinds on all the windows to filter most of the sunlight as well.
Good observations though and thanks for addressing them since it could have been a nightmare. Quote:
