  • ADA 45-F SW tank

    Here y'all go! As requested I'm posting some pictures of my little tank.

    I already told you guys there's not much to see.

    Well, maybe some algae but that's about it.

    I put LR and dead sand in the tank on October 17th.

    Here is a full tank shot.



    Here is a shot from the left side of the tank. Notice the little hermit that has hijacked the shell of a dead nerite.



    Here is a picture from the right side.



    Another shot from the left side.



    Let me know what you guys think about the scape. I want to change the scape some but don't really know what to do. I had planned on trying something different with the rocks but the height of tank limited a lot of my options.

          I was going to scape it like most reef tanks with a pile of LR across the middle and all the way up the back wall but I wanted to keep it more simple cause it's an ADA tank. I'm not planing to stock it real heavy neither. Just some zoas and some good looking marcos.

          Mike sent me this cool link of some SW scapes. I wanted to do something like this....



          The two rock piles kind of just popped up cause of the size and shape of the LR I happened to get. I image I would add more LR and the scape will change as I stock the tank.

                    But seriously, Thai, I think it looks great. It's gonna look awesome with some GSPs if you decide to do that. (I think you should!)

                          I might still have it. I'll dig in my inbox when I have time and send it to you via PM.

                          Either zoas, GSP, or marco tank.....

                            Thanks MB!

                            Still debating if I should get with all GSP, zoas, or macros.

                            But yeah, a carpet of all GSP would look nice, IMO!

                              Two 6700k bulbs 36w each, which are old and what I used for my planted tank when I had this light over that.

                              I have a brand new 10k and an attenic bulb that I didn't put in the fixture yet. I figure I'll do it when I get some corals.

                              I sould be upgrading the light soon too. Just can't decide what I want...
