ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

[Fishy888]

Well technically they’re tank threads now. :rolleyes:

All jokes aside I wish they left it the way it was but what can I say?

Congratulations @tbrown on winning the new tank!

when I first came here & saw all the "build threads" I thought all of you were building your tanks - glass, clamps & silicone. I was very very impressed.

Sump too :)

Nems would probably start out as Jokers just because mine is currently 3.

Love it!

Love it!

Wait a minute! Do you mean the Tidal Gardens Nexas Joker Anenome?!? That is the one I was dreaming about for months (Well, actually it’s mother, the Nexus Burst but who could afford).

I just got it a couple weeks ago during Than’s live sale and hopefully will be the new home for my pair of Black Storm clowns arriving next week. It‘s currently in an acclimation box while @stoney7713 prints up some guards. That’s what I was speaking of on a big contrast between nem and clown. And if you get the Ice clowns with the ice blue markings it would bring out that same blue in the nem.

Curious if you see the purple color in the middle? My Red Sea lights are so restrictive, I think I’m missing out on a lot of coloration.

The nexus is a cool color variation, but I am always afraid if I got one it would split and be left with one green and one orange nem.

I have a Black Widow I really like, nice bright reddish tentacles. I also have rainbows which are nice in color but multiply like rabbits.

Curious though... Do I go BB on this one or sand? I'm going to start making some Aragocrete rock now I suppose.

I think it depends on what fish you want and what kind of look you would like! I personally like sand. It makes the fish look more in their natural habitat!

Mine's from SBB, but yes, it's a Nexus Burst Joker minus the Nexus Burst. Green side only.

Sand bottom!

I like sand because I like Halichoeres Wrasses which require sand so I'll probably end up with sand.

Yah, I have my Black Widow aka Kraken and I love it

Both are beautiful

So many varieties - can’t keep up

 

[steveschuerger]

Definitely sandy bottom. Mines about 2-3 inches deep. My Leopard and Melanurus love it. And I have a Pearly Jawfish in the tank as well.
