Don's 55g-is growing 10 gallons

Congrats, grinder.

I know you have been wanting the tank and now the painful waiting game begins. I would be big time excited as well. Nothing like a new tank to increase the tank enthusiasm, again.

 

Sorry to hear on the 65. At least you are still making a build.

 

Nice nano Grinder and good luck with the new setup. Subscribed.;D

 

No,the painful waiting has been going on for a long while.Now i'm making progress Thanks Corailline.

It was a bummer but glad i seen it before finding out the hard way.Thanks John

Thanks Vinny,it won't be a high tech tank,but i think i can do something cool with it.

 

That is dissapointing, but that 55 will still be great.
The stand looks very nice, did you make it?
Also, your cube looks stunning
Good luck with the new tank!

just an update

My lights are on the truck and "out for delivery"yeah!,heres a couple pics of how the 55 is coming along.The water is a little clearer now..I also bought a bunch of soft coral off a fellow 3reefer the other day,made for a nice roadtrip.Holding it all in my nanocube and a 10g quarentine tank till the 55 is ready.

Thats not the final scape,but close.My plan is to have the scape you see now basically get over taken with softies,invasive spreading softies,gsp,anthelia,leathers,xenia,kenya,mushrooms.I'm sure i'll be fragging often,lol.

On the right side of the tank,i will build an island out of the rock from the nanocube and keep my choice corals there,my zoas,lps,sps with height and flow adjusted accordingly as to keep them well seperated from the jungle on left.So basically a 2 sided tank.

 

couple more

 

Ooooh I like the way this is sounding I'll subscribe, I love the flow of softies, and with and invasive mountain across from some sps and zoa's that sounds cool

 

Excellent grinder,

All the corals look healthy and the the tanks look great, ALL 3 of them. lol

 

With 13" of width to work with aquascaping will be a challenge. Mine is a normal 55 and its a pain for clockwork. I had to go with the wall-o-rock .

The lower profile on this one will make interesting, I can see multiple islands and walls for a new look. Keep the pics coming!

Edit: noticed just now that the longer tank didn't work out, sorry to hear that.
What kind of width are u working with on this one? Regular 12" from 55's?
