Joseph9123 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 I cleaned out KyleV corals he was getting rid of to go fish mainly. I looked at my receipt and since I been on ARC and MAAST in the past I guess 3 months. My tank changed alot . I post pics a while back but compare to now, ya will see what I worked hard for and speant tons of moola. From running VHO's and PC only 4 months ago to now, with Two 250 watt MH and 6 ft VHO Super actinics. Now having a sump and all the good for the wave effect in the tank and upgrade on all power heads. I would never imagine I go this fast in such a short amount of time. Enjoy my work, it cost me an arm, leg and some hair lost. It all comes down to the love and dedication that bite me again after seeing soo many great tanks and being inspired for the future. When we move from our house in 2009, I will have a 300 gallon plus tank as a room divider with all the goods. The race is on to have the ultimate tank! Ohh and I'm going to buy a huge chiller now for the future. Hate heat issue, don't want fans everywhere anymore. -Joseph Ohh and In those pics there is no VHO Super Actinics, waiting for Icecap to send back the repaired icecap 660 ballast. Just running my Mh bulbs. Was thinking of putting my Pc back on for the time being but got lazy! -Joseph Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The tank looks much better! My only recommendation would be to remove the photo background and use solid blue or black. I think it makes the real corals pop more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes the real corals pop more. I know this is a dumb question but are those blue and black background painted or they a reflective backgrounds? Like the sheets they sell at the local fish stores? I seen both but I can't get behind my tank to paint it. What do ya recommend? -Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) They're just laminated sheets of paper. Lots to choose from - I've seen mirror like ones, or the standard blue on 1 side/black on the other side. I use the blue & black backing, cause I can just flip the paper over if my tastes in background color change.

GKarshens Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I use the plastic cardboard stuff they use to make all those annoying signs you see at intersections. It is $15 for a 4'x8' sheet at Regal plastics and available in several colors. I have dark blue. The great thing about it is I can slide it in and out from the side of the tank if I ever need to get to the rear glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
