First off nice setup I am following this one for down the road when I decide to do a built in...

Simply amazing...

BeanAnimal 07/23/2007 02:42 PM

A word of advice get those pink pallys OFF of that base rock. they will take over the entire tank and there is not a thing you can do about it.

I have a 75 gallon reef that has them by the square foot... they have taken over everything.

caseyjones 07/23/2007 03:13 PM

I second that about the Pink Paly's, I curse the day I put them in...although they are beautiful,so were the handful of corals they have overgrown!

Grins 07/23/2007 03:21 PM

Wow, I'm subscribed. I'll be waiting for the photos/videos of the first attempt to scrape the glass. ;-)

Cuby2k 07/24/2007 02:06 AM

Which ones are the pink pallys?

BeanAnimal 07/24/2007 07:10 AM

the pink zoanthid looking things..

wife no likey 07/24/2007 07:38 AM

Yeah I got a frag of the pinks from reefermadness about a year ago- they have taken over about a square foot now. I think I'm just going to glue a rock on top of them and put a new clam on it. :)


Awesome build though jaggy :)

totally out of the norm, and well executed. The 400w seems to punch pretty much all the way down too.
