ive had mine for years. it looks nothing close to that. yours is way better.

You should call them Pineapple Express.

awesome!

Don’t listen to any of them. The 57g is baby bear.

I like those two variations much better. They look more “natural” imo. I recommend keeping the top of the tank open to allow fish to swim freely.

No I took I down before the winter. I kinda want to set it up again

Someone nearby please help this man out with the scape

Fish room is looking good mate

57 gallons . Yes, 250w phoenix MH w/t5. thanks! thanks chuck. just had our second boy three weeks ago. if you want to stretch your legs and drive over ill leave one(s) out for you. thanks. I agree,. It;s not too small, it's not too biig. It's baby bear.

Hello wamas. I hope everyone is doing well. I figured with this extra time on my hands id document yet another reboot of my tank. I havent done one of these in a long time. I ended up moving the tank into the den in the back to have my own private space and to let the kids have their own play room. This was a good time to redo the scape and do a thorough cleaning of the equipment. Im pretty happy with how it came out.

Brian Lmk if you want a frag of the hw back. I got mine from you.

looks fantastic

I will be housing fish in it. Looks like most dechlorinizers lower your ammonia too which is maybe something I do not want.

Does the waste still have chlorine or does that get filtered out? I’m thinking of using it for my aquaponic system I’m building. Does anyone here have one running?

This is a stupid question but does anyone know if the waste water is chlorinated? Im trying to find other ways to use this water as I find it extremely wasteful. It’s weird before I had a kid I coulda cared less. But now I find myself caring and I can’t turn it off.

Sigh ... One of the worst parts of the hobby is making water.

Seeing this tank the other day makes me want to tear my crap down and start over.

Anyone think they look like aliens?

Clamps

Lol it happens. Definitely been guilty of that. Mostly bc I hate sticking my hand into the water.

Seems like the main variable is the direct flow. I’ve had Sps die from too much direct flow. Can you move them to another location? Keep in mind it usually takes a few weeks to see any change in color. Also, sometimes things just die or dont well from one tank to another.

An observation I’ve made is when I feed my fish some will poop and the other fish will go after the poop thinking it’s food. If this is done on purpose it’s smart to trick the other fish while they eat the food. But that also makes the other fish very stupid for eating poop.

If you’re lookong for someone to hold some back up frags for you I might know a guy I gotta check out this tank one day. I’m redoing mine and need some ideas for ls

I say go for it. Most tanks don’t stay running long enough for tangs to reach full size. You can always relocate the fish if it gets too big.
