Terry's new 6foot tank build.

Blue looks really cool, and i think a purple pink or red would look cool, kinda mimiking the coraline algea? just got an idea!

Terry the tank looks awesome without the marble over flow, I had purchased the tank used and the guy before me had the marble to match his gravel (freshwater)

cant wait to see it filled with water and rock and fish and coral, lol.

BTW, all thats going to be by the weekend eh..

haha i wish dude. i still have to get glass for the euro bracing and a new piece cut for the overflow. i need to get josh to get me some acrylic rod when he comes back up to red deer, i need a sheet of black acrylic to cover the overflow, i need to find some black egg grating, i still need to get the rest of my rock from greg, he has it running in a rubber maid if i remember correctly. lots of work dude lots of work

Looking great! I have a black background on my tank and find that I am battling trying to keep it religiously clean because it picks up green and purple coraline spots very easily I guess you can't really get away from that though. I wonder if white might highlight the coraline even more

[the marine apprentice]

well i have white on my nano kien and all it shows really is the stringy algea that likes to grow on my glass haha. but im sure if a guy runs a low nutriant system you wont get as much of that would you?

[kien]

ya I've never really had a problem with stringy algae but coraline is my nemesis! I can literally see that stuff grow and spread before my very eyes..

I would assume reducing nutrients to ultra low levels would cut back on the stringy stuff.

thats what i was thinking as well. plus my nano is still fairly new so my coraline isnt out of control yet lol. i remember watching it grow like crazy in my old 90g i had set up.
