Picture of tank progress

It's not much but its getting there.

Well I figured I better start posting some pictures of my soon to be set up reef tank. So I will start with this picture here.
I have a few more things to buy for it today and then it will be time to take down the 29 gallon freshwater tank to make room for the 75.

I still haven't figured out how to get a bigger picture posted so I will tell you what is in the picture.

75 gallon acrylic reef ready tank
Oak canopy and stand
Aqua C EV180 skimmer
Coralife programmable timer
80# of Caribsea Aragonite
10# of Caribsea Aragalive
Mag7 pump
JBJ 48" PC Retrofit in canopy (for now)
2 5 gallon jugs for water changes (more to come)
And a check valve sitting on top of the canoopy

I am going to Aquatica today to buy a 30 gallon for my sump, 2 150w heaters and 1 Quit One 4000.

That should get me going until my tax return when I can get all the base rock for the tank and start putting it together. More pictures to come

 

Looks good! Whats in ur 30 Gallon tank?


(You should change the tank to black ;D)

 

Looking good... Your on your way...

 

my 29 gallon has 2 black veil angels, 3 cory cats, 3 bloodfin tetras and 2 pictus cats.
my 30 gallon is going to be turned into my sump/fuge

As far as changing the background from blue to black I cant. its built into the back acrylic and I dont want to paint it. My friend has the same tank with the black background and it looks good but I wanted something a little brighter like the tanks at my LFS. They all look so bright when lit up.

 

good start! keep us posted

 

Looks good so far! (BTW, when the posted picture is a thumbnail, all the viewer has to do is click on the pic and it gives the enlarged view)

 

thanks

 

Sorry about the mis understanding i meant to say the wood color black not the tank itself. :-D

 

no problem, The reason I wanted the oak is because everything in my house is oak so black would not look right IMHO
