Great looking tank, very nicely put together. how many pounds of LR do you have?

 

[rebelprettyboy]

looks really good. Woul;da thought it was bigger than a 75

 

[triga22]

Wow your tank is amazing! great work!

 

[scottdl99]

Thanks for all the comments! I can't remember how much rock I put into it. The tank was an upgrade from a 46 bowfront.

 

[thehorndaddy]

Awesome!!! Love the total color of the tank!

Wow! Definitely one of the nicest 75 gallons tanks I have ever seen. Great work, I love the rock work by the way.

Thanks, I spent may hours in the rock vats at *remium*quatics digging for rock that I could fit together.
I've decided to expand the thread with pic's of my other tanks...they are comming shortly!

what kind of clown do you have? I would give my car up for that beauty! And how would I go about setting up a mantis tank? I've always admired their looks and all that but am worried because my tanks are all glass.

beautiful tnaks!

It was unlabeled at a LFS. It is some sort of onyx I do believe. Mantis tanks aren't that bad. I have it plummed off my frag tank. Acrylic tank, big skimmer, live rock and good substrate that the mantis can move around to build a home. You can set the rock how you like it and they rearrange freely!

Thanks! How are those frags comming?

 

[thehorndaddy]

Dude, that is a very wicked and yet beautiful looking Harlequin shrimp!

 

[scottdl99]

There's 2 harlquin's in that tank. Awesome looking things. Pretty neat to watch!

 

[thehorndaddy]

Nice.
What's your experience with those? From your pics, it looks like they do well in the reef tank. But do you have any fish with them, other inverts, etc?
Thanks!
