i like to start by making an # with the rocks(looking down at them from the top) as i stack the to start the base so theres open spots for water flow and fish.. so do a few // then on top go\\ if u understand what i mean.. its hard to explain.. honestly i know what im tanking abt.. lol do you? ha

I hear you dubs and I can really see that happening. I think it will stay like that for now. It still has to cycle. This sure is fun tho.

@ aznt1217, You are right about the horror stories. Thanks for the tip.

I must again thank all of you following this thread for all your help and advise. You have made it a joy for the new guy that had nothing. Some even saved me some coin, you know who you are.

 

[CrazyD]

motortrendz, thanks man. Now what light you talking about and why you trying to spend my coin. LOL I wish you guys the best tomorrow.

hey,
I know you are doing this one step at a time, but what do you plan to keep in that tank?
Nano-customs has 12 inch t-5's also have led lighting...just something to keep in mind.
I have done some crazy mods...that weren't room safe....so that is why i am throwing
products..

 

[motortrendz]

hey id never try to spend anyones money...lol i do a good enough spending mine.. thanks for the good wishes.. buuut on a side note the its hard to see the lighting u got goin on and itll depend on the type of fish/coral u plan on having will determine the proper lighting..

Nice looking tank. What are you going to stock it with.

 

[CrazyD]

Bruce922, I'm not really sure. I want to do reef and fish. Two clown fish for sure. Shouldn't the fish be the last thing in though, Coral first?
