FarmerTy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Looks great bud. Once those sps colonies grow in on the tops of those rocks, its going to be killer! Great aquascaping. I want to do something similar in my tank. Is that giant green goni the one I gave you to save or a different one? Its giant! Sounds like you invited darth vader to the video recording... and he was building you a new stand in the background. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Mine is black, I like it but the coraline sticks out like a sore thumb. I've seen some done with a dark blue/back bottom that gets lighter blue towards the top, to simulate how the water looks in the ocean, and it looks realy nice.

FarmerTy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Go black, I think the overflows will blend better. If you go blue, I'm afraid those overflows will stick out like a sore thumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Go black, I think the overflows will blend better. If you go blue, I'm afraid those overflows will stick out like a sore thumb. I wanted a blue background until I tried it with one of those plastic backgrounds I had laying around. The overflow and black powerheads really stuck out. Amazing tank by the way, wow!

+Grog Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've had blue and black. I'm liking my blue on my latest build. I don't notice the overflow so much but, you have to clean the back glass or it looks bad. Overall, I think I like blue on the larger tank and black is good on a smaller tank but, definitely paint the back some way or another.

How are you liking the painted back glass? I actually did the plastic back you get from any pet store. I like it.

Juiceman Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Update video coming soon. Things are getting back to normal after my Brook/Flukes/ICH fiasco. All QT'd fish are back in the tank and looking good. I've already talked with Niko and we're working on Tang Restocking! Corals are doing well. I noticed some STN at the base on two acros and started looking for any issues IE, tesing ALK, etc. Looked at my Bio-Pellets to find they had stopped tumbling. The pump has a lever on it for the flow rate, and it had been turned down some how, I had a big BLACK clog of Bio-Pellets at the bottom of the reactor. Smelled horrible once I got it out to clean and get rid of the bad pellets. I added some fresh to make up for what I had to pull out, and turned the pump back up, and we're back in business! I wonder why I didn't have more issues from the Black Bio Pellets, clearly they were covered with dead and dying Bacteria and they smelled HORRIBLE. worse than any skimmate.
