bknapp's Stealth 180

[Bow]

The ribbon led is the way to go. Super bright and dimable

 

[bknapp]

I'll probably end up going with ribbon, just undecided if I want to go with white or the color changing; can't seem to find blue. :confused:

Here's the way the tank looks now, haven't decided about the rock work.

How many tangs you got in there? I see 2 for sure and possibly a third. What kinds are they?

Just two tangs (for now,) a Red Sea Sailfin and a yellow eye Kole.

What is that fish all the way to the right? Looks black in color?

If we're looking at the same one it's a Christmas Wrasse.

 

[schooleyosis]

Yep. That's the one

 

[bknapp]

I need to add some more fish, and decide a stocking list/limit. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to figure out what to do about lighting inside the stand, looked into ribbon LED but haven't decided yet.

I'd like to go Apex, and I may in due time but the RK is adequate for now, and was part of a great package deal when i first started the 110. They do seem pretty BA.

Thanks for stopping by and for the inspiration.

You could always go with single LEDs on a small heatsink with no optics, will definitely make things brighter. No mood changing, LOL

yeah that rock scape needs help. Looks like it exploded.

Also the number of fish for the tank depends on the size of the fish and how good your filtration equipment is.
If you have a HUGE Skimmer and a GFO reactor running around the clock, along with bi-weekly small water changes, you will be able to add fish till the store is empty. Also the more rock you have, the more fish your tank can support. But the equipment is the key.

Mines a 100 with 10 large fish and 5 small fish
Hippo tang ===========Blue
Yellow Tang ==========Yellow
2 Black and White Clowns==Black and White
Red line wrasse ========Red/Green
Solon Fairy Wrasse ======Blue/Pink
5 Chromis ============Blue/Green/Silver
4 Anthias ============Red/Oramge/Yellow

If I could do mine over, I would replace the Red lined wrasse with a Leopard Wrasse and the solon wrasse with a Carpenters Wrasse.
But right now I have all the colors i want with all Reef safe and non aggressive fish. So I am happy

Thanks for the input, suggestions would be helpful next time.

I am super impressed you got all this done in time you did. Excellent planning on your part.

Thanks, it was a hectic few weeks. Just hope things start getting back to the way they were before.

Thanks. I like the more minimalist and natural look, in person it looks more like three individual little reefs.

 

[D_Reep1106]

yeah i see it now they are separate islands. That'll look great especially with some coral growout.

 

[schooleyosis]

Three pillars, one each just like the 110 had on the left side several months ago. That was really cool

That's the hope anyways.

I really liked the scale of the 110, just needed a bigger tank if this tank was 30" tall like the 110 that same scape would look killer.
