160 gal Teatro aquarium, updated

[Carmen]

They will look soooooo cool when they are all opened up! Tank is lookin very neat John! I like the softies too so it's neat to see a softy dedicated tank!

[Red Coral Aquariums]

It was my wife's Rhonda Birthday and wanted a special place to dine. And all we could say was WOW!.

John's (lobsterboy) attention to detail on his own incredible home tank was nothing compared to the (attention to detail) he provided to the dining experience we had at Teatro. It was not only an incredible meal but a wonderful experience.
If anyone in Calgary or visiting here wants an thoroughly enjoyable dining experience don't hesitate with Teatro.

2 damsels are in the tank now, and are eating well, even though they have the whole tank to them selves for now, they still find the time to chase each other. right now, we just have a single 39wt t5 on one side of the tank, i have two double 54 wt fixtures that a friend is going to hook me up with, so when he gets back from va-k I will make a trip to see him. I am kinda playing with the idea of having two pendents over the two open spots over the tank (the tank has a massive bracing in the center), but I think a combonation of t5 fixtures is going to win. BTW, these will probably not be changed out every 2-3 months.

cool that you have some salt to stare at at work.....the work tank could get the leftover home tank bulbs?......what kind of rock is that looks like field stones?......good job there bi

[lobsterboy]

Welcome great to have your first post.
its great having the tank at work, lets me go to the soft side every once in a while. I was thinking the same thing about the blubs, there are only 5 that are the same size, the other 2 blub fixture is 54wt but none the less.

The base rock is travertine, i use abit of this on all my setups.

and whats up with the "bi" ? u from the EC ? I better put East Coast, as there might be a few people out there havin flash backs thinkin
Electric Circus, Whoop whoop.

[lobsterboy]

ok, i thought the "bi" was abit curious, as doug fishytime and pazzle are the only ones that would use it here, and i went back a few pages, and found the same post by fishytime.

I been dupped. haha.

Any particular reason for the travertine?

[lobsterboy]

one reason is thats its extremely porous, some have cool shapes others are just slabs. I would like to get a huge slab of it and just have coral growing on it. Bommie styles.
