GOSKN5 October 31, 2015 October 31, 2015 Something different this time... my first deep tank and it's gonna be interesting... Painted the stand white, tank bottom trim white and got the sump ready... plumbing will be next... 24x24x30 74 gallon... More to come
GOSKN5 November 1, 2015 Author November 1, 2015 Livestock plans yet?Mixed reef with sps up top.. going to stock a large number of small fish... like all 1-3" maybe one slightly larger wrasse... but I envision a ton of movement and motion..Nice! Challenge to scape. Build a rock tower!Yep, that's the plan... gonna start on it tomorrow...
GOSKN5 November 2, 2015 Author November 2, 2015 Got the sump done mostly... just need to do some cord management tomorrow... Also got the rockwork done... pretty pleased with the turnout...
GOSKN5 November 2, 2015 Author November 2, 2015 Nice! That really looks great.Thanks.. the height is a challenge but I have one tall structure and I'm a huge gorgonian fan so they will add height..That's a sweet setup. What will you do for lighting?No clue... any suggestions???
GOSKN5 November 2, 2015 Author November 2, 2015 Anyone have any suggestions on lighting? Plan is SPS up high chalice etc on bottom... gonna be a challenge
brad908 November 2, 2015 November 2, 2015 Some type of hybrid lighting. 1. Reefbrite makes a led/halide combo 2. NanoBox has a t5/led combo 3. Giesemann are always top notch 4. ATI t5 fixture with some reefbrite LED bars
GOSKN5 November 3, 2015 Author November 3, 2015 Love the aquascape!Thanks... turned out pretty good I think... probably 50ish pounds of rock and I am going to add a couple pieces to the sump...

tpallas November 3, 2015 November 3, 2015 Prepare yourself for some wet armpits! Have the same issue on my dropoff. I use an ATI T5/LED hybrid on mine, similar footprint. I love it.

Yep, I love the depth tho.. just the look of it draws me in... If I had the coin that hybrid would likely be my choice... I just don't... awesome light... looking fresh. Like the bare bottom. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thank you... love the BB.. painted bottom white like my last tank.. love the ease of it...
GOSKN5 November 5, 2015 Author November 5, 2015 Started adding water... hope to finish by the end of the weekend...
YHSublime November 10, 2015 November 10, 2015 Thank you.. even the wife agreed hahaha That's the green light! Put a 250 in!
GOSKN5 November 11, 2015 Author November 11, 2015 Hahah I wanted a 120... space was meant for a tall tank like this.. fits the room
tpallas November 11, 2015 November 11, 2015 That's the green light! Put a 250 in! Don't listen to him....
GOSKN5 November 13, 2015 Author November 13, 2015 Got the sump arranged.. it's a tight fit without much room to work, but it's all in haha... Also added a bottle of Dr Tims and 90 drops of ammonia to get the cycle going...
epleeds November 13, 2015 November 13, 2015 Got a close up shot of the rock structure. Looks pretty cool
