Here's mine. However, I've sold this tank and will be breaking it down within the month. I'm replacing it with a 240 gallon cube.

Here is mine from a few years ago, you can see how I did the rockwork back then. Now it's mostly corals covering the rockwork.

Kevin McG Be carefull with the hammerhead magnet. I've had my tank for over a year now and have developed hairline scratches over the panes I've used mine. I've gone back to scrub pads and a razor blade.

The tals are awsome! I think maybe I have too many flat upright rock. I will have to play around with it. I am wondering, do you take out the live corals to mess with the rock or just move it to one side? I dont want to hurt anythine in there.

April540 · #7 04/07/2005, 08:54 PM

or maybe I dont have enough small rock.

Its beem up since the middle of Nov. I would just like it higher up the tank to hide all the hardware. Joe do you have yours in tight clusters?

Here's a current pic of my 180. I upgraded in November from a 60G. I haven't added much other than frags so it looks a little sparse right now. It's not the greatest pic either.

I just bought a 180 from Glass Cages so my upgrade is now starting this one will go in the basement and the plan is to have it be a fish only setup but who knows. I was going to get a 96 X 36 X 24 for upstairs but we will see after I get this one how I like it might just get another one like this for my reef.

Me?

If you are asking me I am planning mostly softies and fish although I am thinking of getting some hard corals eventually.

I need a calcium reactor 1st.
