150+ gallon tank build

Congrats Froc! Sorry about the tang though. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise you and come back out of the rocks?

Glad to see that it's full of life now. But I do have one question, WHERE ARE THE PICS????

 

Oooh you don't want to see them yet. I don't wanna move my rocks around much more yet because the fish are a little skiddish still. I've got some other casualties to report. I've lost my electric flame scallop, one conch and my "encrusting leather" is melting. Everything else is great though. I did take the opportunity to get rid of a few things from the 40. I gave the damsel back to it's rightful owner Hopefully will aquascape a bit more in the middle of the week, but i've got my largest structure built already so the rest is easy.

 

The toilet? Oh wait, did I say toilet? My bad...I meant...um...yeah.

I've always thought those electric flame scallops were flippin awesome looking at them at the LFS. They're fairly low priced though, so maybe you could grab another. Sorry for the loss(es).

 

They're cool looking and I kept him for quite a while, but they don't seem to like intense lighting and always find their way into the most ridiculous nooks and crannies so you can't see them.

 

cant wait to see,

 

Pics!!!!!!!

 

Time for some more pics.

 

good thread thanks for sharing. i will wait patiently for pics and also could you give us a pic of how the tank sits in the room..

 

This is for sure one of the coolest ideas I have ever heard. I googled some finished plywood tanks and they have a realy novel look. Can't wait to see how it looks in a year from now!

 

I finally have some pics that I guess I'm somewhat Happy with. I'm going with a more open water look in order to keep fish that require more swimming space. I didn't really realize that with external overflows I would have so much room. Don't worry... I have about 50 more lbs of LR in the sump. Just like the open look. I can always more some more to the DT.




This is my newest addition. Many people complain that they never see their Blood Shrimp, but mine is really active in cleaning my clownfish and damsel. The first time he jumped the damsel I thought the damsel was a goner (Well... i was praying anyways ) I thought I had gotten rid of it, but the g/f didn't like having it back so guess where it ended up...
