Tiffany's 400G build thread

[tiffanyk]

Just put some rock in...wow its beautiful. These pictures do not do justice for this tank. Also should have LED's in by Sat (hopefully)

 

[tiffanyk]

I will upload some more this weekend (better ones)

I think the most important question is HOW BIG are those rocks???lol
It's looking good... cant wait till you have more going on with it

the piece all the way to the left is my largest piece. It's 36 lbs lol. Can't tell in the tank at all. These are also pics I took last night.

a few snails that were on the rock are roaming around in the tank now....and one hermit that didnt want to get out of the rock. So the tank has some life!

 

[spanko]

Do you plan on more rock, or are you going to keep the display minimalist?

 

[tiffanyk]

I will be putting the rest of the rock I have in.(roughly 250 lbs total) I'm just keeping a lot in the 155 (now I call my holding tank).

i plan to order my 450 in the next month or so.i have around 300 lbs of rock and my 250 is pretty packed .so going 2 feet longer and a foot deeper i dont know if i need to buy more dry rock.so i cant wait to see what yours looks like with around 300 lbs in it.for a comparison.

wow that's going to be awesome! I can't wait to watch your build!

Wow, that is huge! Those are going to be some lucky fish that get to live in there. They might just think they're back in the ocean with so much room to roam. Sometimes I wonder if my little clowns get bored in my tiny 30 gallon tank...is that weird?

 

[deejeff442]

seems to me the only thing fish worry about is eating and hiding

 

[tirtza]

You are probably right, what you said makes a lot of sense, I guess I just have to stop 'humanizing' them..lol
Besides, I think I read somewhere that clowns always stay pretty close to the anemone that's hosting them anyways. Not that I have an anemone....I sometimes wonder if they'd be happier if they had one. .... uh oh ... here I go 'humanizing' them

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does that. Lol
