that its beauitiful, are those perculas i see??? with a lionfish?!

 

[sparky0028]

Yes -- I had 4 clowns with the lion for 4 months until the feeding accident. I was giving the lion silversides (all my other fish love the silversides) when my smallest clown went for a piece at the same time as the lion and:notsure: the clown was gone. I have since brought the lion to Adventure Aquaium and they put it one of their display tanks.

Sparky...that is a very impressive looking display. Did you design/build the stand and canopy? I really like the way it looks...very one of a kind!:thinking:

Yes, Roscoe II (a very dear friend of mine) and I planned, design and constructed the bar/fish tank. It took about 3 months and is 95% complete, just need to finish the bar surface. Thanks for the compliment.

Well after that nice looking bow front, the rest of us are probable scared to post.
My tank is still semi-new. It's a 72 gallon, I've been working with since July.
I still have a long way to go. The pictures aren't the best b/c I actually use my video camera to take pictures and the quality is lacking.

Sparky- Is that acrylic? Is the weight of the bar counter supported by something other than the tank and the right side? If that's cherry oak, it'll be be heavy. It looks freakin SWEAT!! What kinda lighting you got in there?

Love the rock work ---it looks GREAT!!!!
---still adding lr to my tank, can't wait till I fill it up.I hate the large dead coral on the right side--(need more $$$$$ for LR)
Fishkiller
Yes it is an acrylic tank, the top was made from 3/4" birch ply with medium density fiberboard wrapped arround the front and base with oak veneer. As far as the support--there is some on the right side but 75% of the weight is on the tank itself, the lights are (2) 96watt pc's, one daylight and the actinic. Thanks for the kind words everyone, this place is great for support.:cheer:

Thanks sparky for the compliement but I'm in love with your bar / tank.
Already told my husband that I wanted one in my new house in the next 3 years.

 

[fishkiller]

Great tank Mike
What lights are you using, everything has great color, what kind of filtration do you have and how long has it been running. I have this green alage that I can not get ride of any suggestion?

 

[soccer4life94]

I agree...that looks great! Im lookin at a 72g bow. What are the dimensions of your tank?
