Well...If you wanted to double the size I saw a nice new 240 that is in Michigan. If I knew the future and what house I was buying in summer I'd say that I might buy my own Christmas present. Would make a great peninsula:

and it's even very closed to the dimension that am thinking about!!!

Your tank looks almost like the small version of Chingchai reef tank.

WOW!!! I got to say one of the best compliment I've gotten, being compared to a tank like that!!! thank you!!!!

tiffyreefer · 12/21/2010, 08:49 AM

Clearly your green and red monti caps are doing spectacular. Have they always been this close to the bottom? I have two, and they are getting rather large, and was afraid to move them down. How long have they been there and are you getting good growth with them? Your tank is spectacular, and I also admire your aquascaping skills. You are an inspiration for my next setup when we build our house next year!

tdp22 · 12/21/2010, 11:24 AM

Holy......

Subscribed! The aquascaping is amazing. Planning a build EXACTLY like yours. Can you give some more shots of equipment and setup? Thanks for the inspiration. Keep us posted

khalid · 12/21/2010, 12:37 PM

That is just beautiful!!! I love the aquascape.

thanks for the compliment tiffyreefer!!!

I've had those monti near the bottom of the tank for almost a year, from the time I've acquired them as frags no larger that a 1" frag plug. Overall they are doing well, but that green cap is actually a purple rim from the original owner, when I placed my frag near the bottom I lost that aspect of the monti.

Keep us posted in your next build thread!!!! if I may give you one advice with my setup make sure that you go with at least a 24" wide tank, frags grow a lot faster that what people think!!!!

tiffyreefer · 12/23/2010, 10:00 AM

I might be moving some montis! Noted about the 24" width. I wish I had done that with mine the moment I started aquascaping! HA!

well, it's all good!!! just make sure you place then near the bottom of the tank in your next system.

Your Peninsula is FANFrickenTastic. I wish I never dropped my 5 footer...

tiffyreefer · 01/09/2011, 12:30 AM

May I ask what you used to aquascape? Acrylic rods?

reeflover7826 · 01/09/2011, 03:20 AM

WOW beautiful!!! I'm jealous, I almost have the same dimensions and my tank looks nothing like yours, I've had an issue with lighting lately can I get a little more info on yours and maybe a pic of it?

thats correct I only used acrylic rods. I was going to use some 2 part epoxy as well but the acrylic seems to be more that enough.

Currently am using 2 aquamedic pendant with 250W Phoenix bulb and supplementing it with T5 KZ superblue. I've just played around with other bulbs and found that the is the "brightest" as far as am concern. sorry I currently dont have any photos of the light fixture.

what is your current lighting setup?
