New DUAL Tank!!

[laddy]

What kind of lighting are you thinking about?

 

[keith burn]

nice

 

[bronco300]

i'd like to put MH on it if i can find a nice one.

 

[madman33]

u know what u could do for lighting is on one side have bright lighting and put corals that need it over there and on the other side not so bright lighting for the corals that dont need it...might look kinda weird though...

 

[bronco300]

yea, i think thatd look a bit weird becuase i'm sure you could quickkly tell a difference

 

[madman33]

yeah...Just one of those crazy ideas i have lol

 

[madman33]

if u wanted a smalll octopi there is the blue ringed octopus...it is sometimes imported but if you get bitten by it u die so im not sure if its such a great choice but they look awesome

 

[bronco300]

haha, well i dont think i'll be going for that one..i dont want to spend hundreds on an octopus though

 

[madman33]

Hahahaaaa another dumb idea by Madman....why else would i be called madman??? lol

[bronco300]

those would be pretty sweet...guess id have to see about cutting the top out of the top

 

[mythrenody]

Get a nice clam for a center piece in one tank and SPS for the other Or just some awsome rockwork,I dk,Funky tank setup,Awsome non the less

Bronco, if I were you, I'd cut out some of the canopy so you can put a pendant 250 watt halide on each side. Then, I'd do a TON of SPS and zoanthids, and stuff. Wouldn't it be sweet to watch fish swim from one tank to the other? :thinking:

It would be cool if you could put it through a wall and have 1 tank on either side. Also, you could put corals that need high flow into the one connected to the sump and low flow corals in the other.

hhhm, you could do an east meets west kinda thing.... for example, keep carribean stuff in one side and australian stuff in the other.

Sounds like a good idea, it just has some flaws. The corals, you could do(as you said, do carribean on one side, and pacific on the other), but fish could swim back and forth between the two tanks. So, coral wise, it would work, but fish wise it wouldnt.

Woah, that is glorious. *jealousy ensues* Congratulations.
Maybe if you wanted you could just put the xenia in one of the tubes so that way the fish will definitely use the other, if they don't want to go through it.

Hmmmm...how bout a Sepia bandensis (dwarf cuttlefish) reef tank? Or just the cuttle. Or a sweet mantis reef.
are you sure it is 55 gallons?
