dark8nge1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well I came real close to getting out of the hobby all together because of my traveling schedule for work but with some help from some friends and lots of weekends doing nothing but maintenance I've finally almost got my main tank back under control. Now I have to fight the endless battle with cyano but I will overcome it. So what's the most logical step to take from here? Start another tank naturally! The inspiration for this tank are the very clean and open style Japanese tanks. I hope to accomplish something like Invincible (on RC) did with his 100 gal. I am starting with an ADA 90P with a build in overflow and building all the equipment into furniture that matches my house. Here are some Sketchup's of what I hope to accomplish.

+ACampbell Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ben, ....right? This looks like it will be a sweet setup. I have to say, these images look great. Did you created them in 3D studio max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Looks great. I really wish my sketch-up skills were that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 That looks awesome Ben. I really like the non-traditional look. So are you in SA now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark8nge1 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Nope in Houston when I'm in town, but actually spend almost all my time in Denver for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark8nge1 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 So I started crunching numbers on how much live rock I will need for the tank then I threw all my calculations out the window and filled my live rock sump with 200lbs of live rock. Problem solved! Next up picking up the main sump from Ace and let the plumbing begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
