Luke's Shallow reef

Wow that's crazy looking... Throw some white rocks in there so it looks like the lights are on haha... I wander how your corals will do seems like its really dark but then again it might highlight them... Looking forward to pix of some stuff in it...

i cant wait to get some rock in there! im going to let it run with fresh water til sunday, then im adding salt.. and ill aquascape this weekend. which should be interesting.... im still not sure how im going to do it.... slope back down to the front? two island... no idea.

Islands are way nicer than a fruit stand... Makes for a healthier tank also... Better flow etc..;)

Are those snowflakes?

luke · Mar 12, 2012

i dont know exactly what they are... they were labeled black ice, but i think they look more semi snowflake..

KoleTang · Mar 13, 2012

I agree. Still great looking fish. How much $ were they?

ya, look like black ice snowflakes to me

works for me... i dont get caught up in names... especially with the coral. if it looks good and i like it, then that works for me!

Dope tank, what did you use to build the hanger for your lighting?

That tank is just sexy!!! Very nice, can't wait to see it stocked.

I really like that tank. Great setup so far. Looking forward to seeing this one develop.

Rounded corners are very weak.. Ever notice all his tanks bow really bad??? Just saying.. There's cheap and easy ways to do stuff and then there is a right way..:tongue: fwiw Luke that's a nice looking tank but you might want to invest in a euro brace before filling that... Looks like 1/2" material It will bow a good 2" after being filled for a month or so...;)

Luke is your tank bowing? I've bought tanks from him before and haven't had any issues.

1/2 inch conduit and a pipe bender lol i need to find some better end caps though... they're mismatched right now as i was trying to see which ones fit better, but i forgot to fix it before filling with water.
