As Promised... this is how the tank looks now just with actnics on....

i like this one as much as i liked the rest of the aquascapes :lol2: but i took off the foam in the back and YES i am going to place a piece of black acrylic to cover the overflow.... or i might just take the overflow off i dont know yet.

1st pic is without flash
2nd pic is with flash

3rd pic is a pic of the diy rail system my dad and I had done and i also lowered the lights to approx. 5" off the water...

hey Tony, I like it better without the foam.

the acro's look like they are growing out nice, I see some colonies starting to shape up

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks J Ohhhh and by the way we still gotta go for indian food :biggrin:....

Congrats on the progress Tony, the tank is coming along very nicely!!
What kind of bulbs do you have (nice growth!) & any more pics/info about the lighting rail system you & your Dad put in?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks kathy, im using 250 watt reeflux 10 k... all it is as you can see in the 3rd pic is 2 pieces of wood with the plywood in the middle sandwiched so it could move back and forth...

 

[JHOV2324]

NO FOAM....yeah it does look better...I told you get some GSP and put it in the center of that Overflow dude...add color and cover....:biggrin:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Hov no GSP in this tank i told you that already :banghead: lol...

i actually decided that friday i am going to be removing the external overflow and just plumb it directly to the sump from the bulkheads... which then i can paint the rest of it black and not have to worry about it no more

anywayz im gonna take some pics tonite with the lights on and post em later on... colors are really popping know... :biggrin: slowely but surely getting there :biggrin:

 

[cali_reef]

Why did you remove the foam backing? And why are you pulling the overflow?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i wasnt liking the foam background, got tired of it and i couldnt position the tunzes the way i needed to pierce.. u no how i am by now :lol2: im getting rid of the overflow just because it will be easier to do what i have planned to do..

 

[Tonyscoots84]

keep in mind guys the tank was changed over and everything was taken out about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks ago and all sps were dipped in tmpcc for precaution so there still coloring up...

Good news i checked my phosphates on the hanna meter and they were a big fat 0.... See rich my phosphates are really 0 :biggrin:....

Sorry this pic didnt come out to great....​
