Beautiful!!

 

[saltygeek75]

very nice tanks

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Umm I have had one for a year marki

 

[masterswimmer]

Brendan, nice thread bro. Those tanks continually amaze me. With the problems I have maintaining my 75g, I really should consider stepping down and doing a Solana the right way. My animals would benefit and certainly I would :banghead:

I've gotta put more thought into this.

Ok here are my specs

34g Starfire Glass Solana, 20" Nova Extreme Pro T5 Lighting, Vortech MP10 with Custom Dry Dock, Center chamber fuge, Stock return pump, Skimmer was a Tunze 9002 but switching to the Sapphire. Mostly Soft corals and Zoanthids with a little LPS mixed in. I love this tank since the day I set eyes on it about 2 years ago.

 

[JonnyJ]

Does anyone know if a hydor flow will fit on the solana return?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

The hydor Flo is on the right slightly lower than the MP10.
