16 gallon bow reef wall biotype - dialup beware

[masterswimmer]

Thanks Reefer. The heater is hidden behind the wall so it's out of view. Not a big deal, I shouldn't really have to play with it much.

I really like the lighting a lot. I did change bulbs for ONE DAY to a Phoenix 14K. The color was decent but just too much for the coral (SPS no less) and they didn't handle it well. I replaced it with the 20K Coralife bulb that came with the fixture. Apparently Coralife incorporates their UV shield into their bulbs. So essentially the Phoenix bulb had no UV protection. Supposedly Coralife is coming out with a UV protected bulb with a 14K temp this spring.

first off kick ass tank...i should do that with my nano..BTW: how did you get the live rock to stick on the eggcrate..i might have missed it..thanks

Thanks CC. Most Fiji LR is very porous. There are holes in them naturally. Sometimes the holes are where I needed them (for positioning the rock the way I wanted it). And sometimes there were no holes where I needed them. I used cable ties to attach the rock to the light diffuser. The rocks that needed drilling I used a 1/8" drill bit on my dremel.

Got three new additions to the wall this week. I could only take pix of one of them. The others are positioned too tough to photograph.

I'll try to get shots of the others tomorrow.
