Awesome. What are your plans for stocking? And what kind of lighting are you going to be using?

 

[bonomo53]

I plan on transferring everything from my 38 into it which is a mix of sps lps and softies .. as for the lighting for now iam gonna use the same fixture from my 38 also but plan on getting a mh or led fixture in a few months when i have enough money

 

[bonomo53]

Nice looking tank, and nice doable upgrade. Still, I'm sort of digging the tank in your 2nd and 3rd pics the most (of your 2nd pic post) :tongue:

 

[bonomo53]

[bonomo53]

thankss

 

[bonomo53]

still need to get a skimmer but its a tight fit next to my return so i was thinking something like the bubble magnus 3.5 ?

 

[ReefDreams]

Wow great tank.

 

[bonomo53]

thankss... what would be the best for adding some more light i was thinking two clamp on fixtures in the back with par 38 bubls in them would this add a good about on light?

 

[bonomo53]

Nice looking tank. I like your new rockwork better than what it used to be. Lots more useable space and openings.

Just a warning, those stands are awful. I had my 75G on one for about 3 months before the stand itself started to twist. I had to overnight a stand in fear of the current stand breaking completely. They are also very wobbly. Just something to think about and watch for.

 

[bonomo53]

thanks yeah i think it looks alot better and thanks for the warning on the stand i will keep a close eye on it

Dude, this tank looks amazing! I also liked your room, dark wood and tanks always make a tank look good!
