Very nice. The next tank I do I will be cementing my rock. I love the bonsai style rockwork. if I could, i would take all my rock out of my tank and redo it, but I don't think all of my fish and corals would appreciate that.

 

Thank you, the bonzi is what were looking to achieve, it gives great coral placement and allows for great flow. My 90 gallon now is a big wall, I cant even think about how much i lost by dropping it back there and can not reach it. We thought our fire shrimp was dead for 6 months, found him in the back of the wall lastnite. With this we should be able to see 360 around the islands.

 

As promised some updates...Finished the rock work....

 

Now I wanna redo my rock

 

Great stuff man. Hope all is well with your bill of heath. I love the rock work. What kind of lighting are you planning on running. If you stated it i must have skimmed over it.

 

Thank you! All is good with the health now, we filled up the tank had the sand filtering and we discovered a leak in the tank tank about 15 gallons. I think it was along the black trim not sure. Now have to get a new tank. But I think we are going with the AI sol units.

 

It was really easy and fun, just get creative with it.

 

Well after the first 125 sprung a leak in the seams; we ordered a new one and are on our way again.

Finally ordered the skimmer, went with a Brand New Bubble Magnus 180s I was able to get it for $220. I ordered 3 new ATI blue units with controller was able to get it for $875. The plumbing is finally completed, used all solid pvc at first switched out all of the 90s on the return for spa flex, the flow was really restricted, but is much better now. The sump glass should be here done by sat. so I can install that. Screens and 2 media reactors are ordered from BRS. The last thing im debating is ordering an mp10 for the back glass I can get a brand new for $170, but I still that is to much for a powerhead, IDK though....oo and a controller down the road.

 

a 40 would be more appropriate for that tank or a 60. Theyre more expensive i know but would seriously add a whole different dimension to the tank. Excited to see this thing completed!

 

Thanks for looking! I was thinking a 40 I can get new one for $380, it's hard to bite. I have two korellia 1400 on each side main pump is mag 18, was just thinking low profile w the mp10 to face forward. Once done I'll post lots of pics.
