Love the reefscaping and the your corals and fish are beautiful. Looks like the new filter project will be real nice, is it in your basement? Very nice tank, would love to see more pictures.

Yes, that was my wifes laundry room. She came from work one day and noticed we had a stack washer/dryer in the utility room. :-D

Its an inwall tank viewable from both sides, the living room and the bedroom. I do have a privacy panel made for when we have company.

Thanks for the compliment!

I just took a couple. Too bad its still pretty much a frag tank at this point, should be nice and full next time this year. Also, my chiller isnt up and running yet so I only have one halide on at a time so the light isnt balanced in the pics. I just did a water test on the sump and so far so good.

I also thought I would throw in this pic of my 14g biocube. Its been neglected but as soon as I get the 120 all set up right I will be drilling the cube and adding a bunch of stuff. Probably a zoo/ric garden. The lights have been upgraded but Im going to add a sump and skimmer.

Very Impressive aquascaping.

Thanks, I used a drill with a masonary bit. In the dry pic you can see an orange fiberglass rod but I switched all of those out with clear acrylic. Being a two sided tank I didnt have a back wall to lean things on and everytime I put my hand in the tank rock went tumbling. Now I have better flow, and less accidental frags.

I just thought I would share a couple of new additions. Sticky Punch, Everlasting Gobstoppers and some type of rainbow paly.

Nice! I like the room divider tanks like that. Eventually I would like to do one from the master bath to bedroom - a fish only shere.

That'll be even sweeter when the tank fills in - I know the feeling on that one ;)

How are you keeping the pillars from falling over, are thet mounted to a base plate of some sort?

No I just have big, heavy and stable rocks for the base. Then holes were drilled for acrylic rods that go the entire length of the structure. I put them together outside of the tank to make sure they were balanced.
