euphylin me Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I tore down my 38g bowfront and picked up a reef ready 70g rimless (its has lagoon style dimensions almost). This is going to be a fish only tank as my Fiance wants a dog face puffer....needless to say, i dont trust putting corals in with him. Don't worry, once he gets bigger he will have a bigger home, but i have a few years before that happens as he is just a little guy right now. Not sure what else is going in the tank yet!

music Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Crummy photos are better than no photos. Also crack up the whites & crank down the blues (if it is easy) for a quick pic. It works for me. euphylin me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 lol. As long as it gets the job done who cares. Its fun to see what people do, but the fancy hard plumbing can be a pain in the butt if its not your thing. I tried to hard plumb with a manifold, and while it came out all right, I am not sure that I would do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
