Our 400 Gallon In Wall Natural Sun-Lit Reef

[prsnlty]

Beautiful tank! I can't wait to see it again as it matures. I too live in FL just 2 counties north of you. I wish I could convince my husband to do the same with ours. Maybe Issac will cause a tree to fall on the roof and I'll get my wish...LOL My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. I know how tough cancer is.

Thank you! You can run the tubes around 20 feet or so, don't know how you would run them through the first floor to your basement though.

That blue net looks very cool! I bet it would work really well, can you get a small "sample" from the supplier?

I have a piece of it coming, should have it in a day or so, only cost $20.

Maybe in a closet? Or down the side of your house like a chimney

Beautiful tank! I don't think I could get away with the tubes up here in Washington. I'd end up with a dark tank that grows moss and the occasional evergreen tree.

Thank you! Yea I don't believe the tubes would be that effective for you, but on a plus side you don't need to run central a/c 10 months of the year.

Your tank looks great!!! I'm interested in seeing how the tank will look with the net. I'm tagging along

Your wife and family are in my prayers.

Hi everyone, I have an update on the tank lighting, yesterday I added a light filter to the sun-domes it’s called ChromatiNet Blue. It’s a shade cloth, it reduces the spectrum of red and far-red light and increases the blue light spectrum I went with the 30% cloth. I’ll be watching it to see what type of effect it will have on the coral.
