Not sure if i like my aquascaping yet, i think itll grow on me more though, tell me what you think...

easye123 · #**102** 10/07/2007, 05:56 PM

Looks awesome!! I love the right pillar.. maybe make the left one a little high soo you can add more corals. That open aquascape would love awseom. thats really what i wanted to do.

now its time for stockin som sps!

flyguy7150 · #**103** 10/07/2007, 07:37 PM

thanks easy, yea the left side needs a little bit more rock, like 10lbs or so. Think theres a total of about 90lbs. Yea time to bring on the sps

easye123 · #**104** 10/07/2007, 07:46 PM

How are you likin your t5's?
They seem bright!

Also if your gonna add a lot of sps. one thing i wish i did in the beg. was to drill my rocks so i could put pegs on all the sps,( so you can hang them off your cliffs.)

I got lucky and have tons of wholes soo its all good

flyguy7150 · #**105** 10/07/2007, 08:22 PM

Love them so far, colors are sooo much better than from the 50/50s on my pcs. The rock i got is very porous, looks like coral stone or something, kinda like the rock people get from marco rocks. So it should be pretty easy to find spots for frags, and hold them there with a little epoxy.

I like how you keep on building on top of the reef.

Do you have a host anemone for your clown fish? I notice that they wander a lot.

flyguy7150 · #**107** 10/07/2007, 10:04 PM

Nope, dont have an anemone for my clowns yet. Not sure what to get, i like carpets but they grow pretty big. I would like a rose bulb nem, but i think ocellerais clowns and rose bulbs wont work. So not sure what to get, maybe another kind of BTA??

Silverfin · #**108** 10/07/2007, 10:32 PM

In all my family's tanks, we have at least one bubble-tip anemone for our clowns. They all love 'em. But for your pair(?) of clowns, I would only get one anemone. We have a clown in our 210gal, which we have about 4 anemones (Two bubble-tip, two curly-cue), and our clown fish has only hosted one almost since the very beginning...

Looking good.

I'm probably going to do a 90 gallon and T5 setup when I graduate (I've heard that happens to some people) so I like seeing other peoples' setup.

flyguy7150 · #**112** 10/08/2007, 07:03 PM

lol, what engineering you in

flyguy7150 · #**113** 10/08/2007, 09:51 PM

Can you guys help me decide between the octo NW150 and NW200. the nw150 is rated for a 125-150g tank, the nw200 for a 175-200g. This thread got me thinking it might not work too efficiently if i went to big...

This tank will end up being sps dominated, has 7 fish at the moment, probably will get 3 more. I want to order within the next 2 weeks or so, gotta get paid though

easye123 · #**114** 10/09/2007, 01:03 AM

I would get a s big as you can.. look at euro reefs too..

flyguy7150 · #**115** 10/09/2007, 09:44 AM

I would like a euro, but i dont have that much money. But from what i hear octopus's are great. The rs135 has a 6" diameter for the reactor right??, the octo nw200 has an 8" diameter, the octo nw150 has a 6", which is why im thinking the nw200 might be too big. If anyone is running a nw200 on a 90g or something close, feel free to chime in

flyguy7150 · #**116** 10/09/2007, 02:37 PM

any skimmer help...

well i actually want to know your opinions on which to get between the octopuses, nw150 or nw200 for my 90g, 29g sump

JetCat USA · #**119** 10/09/2007, 05:02 PM

anyone else got notifications of posts on this thread the past few days and the posts aren't here????

yesterday i got about 12 notices that Flyguy posted, and at that time there were no posts made that day by him........just now i got two, that he posted at 4:39pm and again at 4:53pm, it's now 5:02pm and the only post here is from H2OLUVSME made at 2:46pm...........and flyguy now at 5:01pm

Silverfin · #**120** 10/09/2007, 05:03 PM

I didn't have that problem...

Ardeus · #**122** 10/09/2007, 05:28 PM

A really beautiful layout... That euphyllia making the connection between what would otherwize be 2 islands is great... just great, just where it needs to be.

Tanks like yours, when they're in their early stages seem to be full of potencial. I hope you manage to make a good choice of corals to continue.

Good luck!

jetcat, i think its because when i post, sometimes it doesnt go through and times out and gets an error, but no post shows up. So i hit send until it does and it finally does...
Ardeus thanx, i think i will be sticking to sps from now on i think to fill up the top parts of the aquarium. And of course i'll choose nice pieces

Back to the skimmer topic.......Octopus NW150 or NW200 for this tank???

wow its doing it again...sorry to those who are subscribed

its not my fault, blame rc

JetCat USA · #**124** 10/09/2007, 07:15 PM

never tried an Octopus skimmer, i use ERs, i tried the knock off ASM once and found it inferior to the ER so i stuck with the 'You get what you pay for'

and yes, i got two notices then of a reply

flyguy7150 · #**125** 10/09/2007, 07:26 PM

well you think i should go for the 8" skimmer or 6"??
