Naka,
Great looking tank you got there! This is the best starphire tank I've seen so far. -Jeff

What did you do to secure the lighting to the roof? I plan to screw in some anchors with a eye at the end and hand some chains.

Naka/James,
So I've tried to contact the person from the company who built your tank, but no reply. Any thoughts or suggestions for contacting them? I guess I could call... I love your tank! With some slight changes and a bit less volume (I want a 120) that's the tank I want to upgrade to!

Thanks Dave, I couldn't have explained it any better. I've been following your tank also. Edward brought it up to my attention. I love you setup as well. Super clean!

How do your tangs get along? I have a yellow and a purple now and would love to add a tomini but not sure how they will react to the new tang! What order did you add the tangs? Beautiful tank BTW!

I have a sailfin, a powder brown and a yellow eye kole and they all get along really well. However, my kole will not leave my snowflake blenny alone. Whenever the kole sees the snowflake, he immediately goes after it and chases it into the rock. No other agression toward any other fish, just that blenny.
They have somewhat similar coloration but such different body shapes that I never would have thought there would be any problem between them. Also, an LFS owner is having the exact same issue in one of her tanks at home! |

Hey Naka - are you constantly having to scrape calcium deposits off the glass at the waterline? I do it and it seems to be back in one day...

Awesome tank! Very nicely done. Can you show a picture of the CL setup? I'm interested in that, as well as your thoughts on adding sand to a tank like this...

My CL is pretty simmple. If look at the first page of this thread, you'll notice that I have 5 holes drilled at the bottom. The 3 outlets have 90 deg. elbows pointing towards the back glass. All the detrius comes over the rock and the vortech moves it across my tank left to right. Thanks, James |

Doesn't Garibaldi have to be kept cool. Also they get very VERY large .Are you not concerned for your system in the future? ..What are you running your temp at?....By the way nice system. Talking to them does help doesn''t it......You have a talent...I appriciate that...It's also my passion...

Garibaldi is already out of my system. I was going to take him out eventually, but started to pick on my clams. Didn't bother any fish, but didn't want to take a chance down the line.

Naka, question about maintenance... Do you find the braceless design forces you to alter how to work on the tank? Do have to avoid putting any weight on the panes to prevent breakage?

Rimless looks great, your a lucky man!

Hey Naka, just wanted to say great looking tank! My wife and I really like the look of open top tanks and we are planning a 120g that will look very similar to your tank in terms of stand design and so forth. I wanted to get that same light fixture, but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend quite that much. I think I might just go with the maristar fixture instead. Keep up the nice work!
