Yes, I will be using some zeovit products. This tank won't have a sump, so can't go 100% zeo. The stand is being delivered on Tuesday and my rock's will be here Wednesday. I hope to have water in Tuesday night, but might have to repaint the stand and delay things for a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime November 17, 2013 Share November 17, 2013 Nah, I disagree, work with rock, keep it simple, like et else you've done, want to see you work with Lps, go zoas and show the rest of us that it's the bees knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom2245 November 17, 2013 Share November 17, 2013 Beautiful tanks! I really like the 48gal. It's so simplistic and just works. It's cool to see a tank where somebody isn't trying to stuff as much in as possible. Can't wait to see what the new one will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 November 18, 2013 Author Share November 18, 2013 I think one small bonsai from cermaco would be sweet Eh, not much of a fan for the fake rock Nah, I disagree, work with rock, keep it simple, like et else you've done, want to see you work with Lps, go zoas and show the rest of us that it's the bees knees! Yea. I have a good idea now how the rocks will be. Not much sps for this tank. Gonna look like someone puked skittles into the tank with all the zoas I want. Beautiful tanks! I really like the 48gal. It's so simplistic and just works. It's cool to see a tank where somebody isn't trying to stuff as much in as possible. Can't wait to see what the new one will look like. Thank you! Simple scapes are the best IMO. Stand tomorrow night! It's been sitting 2 hours away since 6am yesterday. darn UPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM November 20, 2013 Share November 20, 2013 Looks like no skimmer. You going to put ATO sensor, thermometer, heater, and all dosing inputs along that black corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 November 20, 2013 Author Share November 20, 2013 Looks like no skimmer. You going to put ATO sensor, thermometer, heater, and all dosing inputs along that black corner? Apex temp probe and heater are already in those pictures. Just need to put on the elos ATO, which won't be noticeable either. No dosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad908 November 20, 2013 Author Share November 20, 2013 That's great. This will be a nice low-fiddlewithstuff-factor tank. Yea, that's the name of the game on this tank.
