haha so far the majority of this tank is outside of the "box" haha, and thanks guys I'm glad to hear that so many people are enjoying it! the main reason behind building this tank was to do something that I haven't seen anywhere else and make something insanely different

haha i threw pretty much every piece of technology i could at this tank and there is still more to come that i haven't gotten yet, by the time its all done its going to have the systems of a 300g setup haha but only running 20g of water

I was thinking and I think you should should somehow make a sandy beach area with a mangrove growing out of the sand and a little guy fishing off his boat at the end of the stairs.

I'm thinking the sandy beach area can be irigated by the same stream coming from the top of the rocks. As long as a grainier sans is used, you can use some sort of a strainer type material so it trickles down in the tank. A mini cool looking refugium as it will have at least a mangrove.

that sounds like a great idea but i have no clue where i would put all that haha i have a refugium in the sump. I will be putting a little fisherman on the dock somewhere and theres going to be a lighthouse built into the rock at the top, i think I've said to much as is but theres going to be a few more details to go along with it haha

I think you could easily put it on top of the wave box stretching all the way to the dock. It will take a little bit of construction above the wave box but it can be done.

And yes lighthouse sounds wicked, I actually pictured that before you posted

Im sure one day I'll make something like this when I have time and need something to do, kids will eventually get older... Will have to steak a few ideas.

I do have to say this is one of the coolest if not the best ever high tech miniature build I've ever seen.

Thus belongs in a magazine

By the way where did you get the short extension cords for eb8 ? That's again a really cool idea.

Oh yeah! now you've got my head spinning haha there might be a way to incorporate something like that above the wave box haha now I'm starting day dream again haha

I got the cords from here they worked really well the only thing i had to do was shave down the casing on the second plug from the left on the top row and the same on the bottom row to allow them to fit just because of the way that EB8 spaced out the plugs

Im not to sure if its magazine worthy or not but i do have to say that i haven't found anything else like it haha thanks!!!

I've got some more done on the walk way over the last day or so!













today I've got to drain the tank and do some work on the plumbing on the return line to increase the back pressure to push the water up to the upper pond, even with the bigger pump the flow isn't strong enough to get the water to the top but thats an easy fix. After that though its going to be my last update for a few weeks as i go back up to work but ill be ordering some more parts that should be here when i get back just begging me to put them to good use!
