Your tank looks awesome. Love the vortex idea.

Any chance of getting some pics at a higher resolution?

Got tired of looking at the empty tank so I added the the rock and sand then played with the scape...not the look I'm going for but it will have to do until I pick up some rods...


Here's some progress pic's...

Last night I went to put my fresh water tank in the stand, although I left exactly the right amount of room for the tank I forgot to leave enough room to get the it in so I might have to pull the skin off to get it in now,...grrr..lesson learned

I've also ordered a 200w pacific sun python for the lighting and am seriously considering starting with the Prodibio from the ground up.

Bought some acrylic rod the other day and started to drill rock for my scape but there was no joy to be had there...The rock I have is really nice but doesn't take well to drilling. I was trying to be very careful and take my time but several pieces cracked or crumbled...In the end I have everything somewhat the way i wanted it but minus the bulk of the rod's...I just used a bunch more epoxy than I had planned for. This morning before heading off to work I rechecked it all and it feels pretty secure...I'll post pics when I get home today...

I also started the filling process....drip...drip...drip,...takes a long time when you sit there and watch the RODI drizzle in

Scape is a triple arch,...kinda hard to see in the pics but lets give it a go...

Moving L-R



Filled with RODI, H2Ocean and PRODIBIO Start Up...MP40's are running...Though I'm not using the sump yet, still have some more work to do in the stand.




The PRODIBIO instruction are extremely vague, I've added what I figure to be the correct dose (12 vials based on the 90gal instructions), the instruction also say that you are good to add 1/3 (?) of your fish after just 12 hrs...I think I'm going to wait longer than that but I will test things just to see...


Sunday I'll add my seed sand & rock, I also may add a couple more MP40's, one on the left side and one on the right.
