I love the anemones in your tank!

There's 2 Rainbow Bubble tips side by side. It split in 2 about 2 weeks after swapping tanks. I want to get rid of one and add a Black Widow anemone.

Hey guys! So, I just order my absolute "dream tank" and absolutely every possible automated control/test that Neptune offers. About $13k deep, my debit card about had a stroke yesterday... Don't tell my wife! oh, that's right, I'm divorced...:grinning-face-with-sweat:
Anyhow, enough jokes I guess. My question... I am also about to drop another grand on a custom dragon aquascape from Reefscape Designs out of Florida and want to get the height just right. Can anyone tell me the depth of the water in the running system from the inside? I want the peak of my aquascape to be about 6" below the water level for those SPS's requiring the power of the sun to grow.
Thank you all in advance!

My RSR 425 G2+ the water level runs about 1¼" from the top. Those already put together rock scapes are pretty pricey. It's obviously not any of my business on how you spend your money, but why not watch a few videos on scaping for ideas and build your own? It's soo much cheaper. All it takes is a little time, imagination, and Tetris skills!

Hey there, absolutely no worries at all and a valid question! So I sold my home and work shop and bought a loft condo in a building built in 1894. My "work area" that I used to have before when I did make my own aquascapes is no more and I found a company down in Florida (https://reefscapedesigns.com) and their aquascapes were absolutely amazing. They had some "standard" versions of the "Dragon Scape" (Picture attached) but I reached out to them to build me a custom one. This is to be my "Dream Tank", I haven't cut a single corner and didn't put a budget on it at all equipping it with every automation device that Neptune offers practically. Long story short, its my "Dream System" :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

So to make sure I understand you exactly, the front glass is 21.7" high
Water level is about 1 1/4" from the top
If I want the highest part of my aquascape to be 6" below the surface then it need to be at about 14.5" tall

That scape is pretty sweet I can't lie. Im no expert as to how much space is exactly needed from scape to water surface but 6-8 inches sounds okay. I would definitely ask for a few more opinions from some more seasoned reefers especially if the new tank is going to be sps dominant.

How is the Maxspect Jump SK200 skimmer working for your setup ?

I works pretty good once you figure out the correct water height. The water height that is recommended is too high.

Ok Thanks.

Do you mind if i ask what height do you have yours set at ?
