that is a very unique tank...it is beautiful...

cool tank! i love the sand... but percs are known jumpers, same as blennys, do you have any preventions?

 

[05xrunner]

never had a perc jump out of any tank i have ever had. I had a watchman do it once. What can i do. I am not putting a top on the tank. If its dumb enough to leap then sucks for it. the border around the tank where the beach is should stop it from jumping out.

VERY GOOD JOB!!! I saw this tank from birth, and man you did great!

can't wait to see the little palm trees.

 

[05xrunner]

i hope they are in today..I think the guy shipped them monday. I still need to finish the outter part of the stand...that is last though after i get everything else done.

Is the sand around the tank glued in or something? How are you going to keep the sand on the outside and not in the tank? Or on the floor?

 

[05xrunner]

there is a border all around the sand area of the wallpaper corner protector stuff that keeps it in place. i have hit the whole beach with a spray glue to keep the grass in place.
you can see the borders in these pics

very impressive 5x, by the looks of that iw ould have though it was more than 20some gallons,lol..very cool

 

[cowfishrule]

dood.
awesome do- up.
you gain another viewing angle.
only question i have is what about that window? the light coming through there might cause an algae problem.
also- is that a "baseboard" heater of some sort behind the tank? dont know if that should be a concern.
oh yeah- clownfish jump.
just sayin.

 

[05xrunner]

getting new blinds so light wont be an issue. the baseboard heater I never use my furnace since I have a nice gas fireplace and that heats my house so there is never any heat comming out of them.

 

[cowfishrule]

i love the spray glue idea on the "beach". it will protect the sand and keep it from moving around.
hey- nobody can say that you need more gas exchange on that thing.

[chilwil84]

have you been able to find any grasses for your lagoon or maybe some porites if you have some semi decent pcs or t5s on it

 

[05xrunner]

well if fedex decides to leave my package tomorrow I will have my 14k 150w MH on the tank.
I am going to probably add 5 or 6 mangrove plants int eh rock area.

What a cool setup. The shoreline beach idea is awesome! Now, if you can find a way to simulate tides, you could do some pretty amazing and original things.
Good job.
