d2mini's Epic Fantabulous New Reef Build

[d2mini]

Dennis, Is there a thread anywhere on your office nano? I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of it as well!

There is, probably a few pages back. I haven't updated it since it crashed due to power loss, but its back and doing real well.



Tank is coming along. Started aquascaping but still waiting for Part II from TBS with some more rock and other cool stuff. Isaac is screwing things up in the gulf. Grrrrrrr...
Mangroves are growing roots but no leaves yet.
Also picked up a few corals from the old tank and my blue chromis.

Beautiful!
Are those gorgonians on the right side of the tank? Did they come with the rock or did you get them separately?

 

[d2mini]

Thanks, and yes those are gorgs. Came with the rock.
I just tossed them over there... need to upright them. :)

 

[phastroh]

I say it look fine as is, no more rocks needed. Throw them in the sump. You know I like the little island look so it looks cool.

I love the left side how it sits by itself, I hope it stays that way grrrrrrrr.....:grumble:

 

[d2mini]

Yup, right now it's three separate islands and the middle one has a nice roomy arch. And it will stay that way. But due to the long term plans of building cabinetry around the tank, I will add a little more rock to the two end islands, especially in the rear corners. Half the sides of my tank will be covered by the cabinetry. :)

YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO I love Islands and mini trenches.

Next tank will be 2 islands and a Pac-Man lagoon/trenchy area in the center like the one the show in the beginning(sort of) of finding Nemo. Goota have a cul-de-sac in the middle for fish wars.

Now if what you say is true I will like the tank for sure heehee. I was actually chatting with Bulk Reef(Brandon) the other day and was pimping your thread. We were talking about my tank and we were talking about the bridge because he thought it was one piece. So I was telling him how I made it and blah blah so I mentioned where the rocks came from and thought of your new rocks so that is how.

By the way I have to thank you for pushing me in a way to get the auto-shut off on the auto-fill. It has saved me 3 times already including an all nighter 2 nights ago.:frustrat:

Thanks :bowdown:

This would have been me without it so take you pick. :umbrella::chair::surfing::dunno:>|<

Well darn. Now there is no reason for me to ask you to "show me yours, I've showed you mine". :evil!?!?: :lol:

I told you! lol
If there is no fail-safe in place, it WILL fail. Trust me, I know.
Glad you got it set up right.

I believe, sir, that you need to officially change your signature, as you no longer have a 130g starfire cube.........

 

[Smitty]

Wow...it looks really great Dennis. That rock work looks amazing.

Thanks, dude. It's getting there, slow but sure. :)

 

[LoveJC03]

I don't think I've ever seen a maxi mini anemone.. that thing is beautiful!

 

[cvcdrk]

Looks great.

Is all that stuff just hitchikers from the rock or did you add them in after the rock?

 

[d2mini]

The corals are from my old tank. :)

 

[ErinCahir]

Looks AMAZEBALLS Dennis.

 

[Samhain]

I'm also liking the rocks just as they are. That negative space is so pretty to me. And you can just imagine the scape covered in corals!

 

[d2mini]

Thanks! :)

Here's a shot at night when it's really blue and running a custom graph from Jon at Ecotech.

 

[RockStacker]

Blasphemy!
Though shalt not cover up such an awesome tank!

 

[Samhain]

Awesome tank is AWESOME!
