My new 120 upgrade

[mattseattle]

Matt, What's the black box looking thing on the right side behind the rocks? Is that just a cover for a CL?

Yeah, it's a cover for the 2 intakes for my closed loop. It helps reduce the overall suction so fish/etc. won't stick.

Looking good Matt, nice set-up!

Thanks! yeah it is slowly getting there....i think i'm finished with aquascaping now!

Matt, Your tank is absolutely too cool
Hands down, the most intricate and well thought out plumbing job I have ever seen in any home tank.

Was great meeting you and brian last weekend, best to you and nate too!

p.s. The sock works great!
p.p.s. You guys probably talked me into upgrading in lieu of downsizing to the 72 bowfront. "We're going to need a bigger boat":lol:

Hey! Thanks again for the purple polyps. They are in my QT tank right now and looking really nice.

Thanks as well for the compliments. There is a lot of thought, planning and time in my tank and I am extremely happy with it.

Now it's just time to stock it and sit back and enjoy it!

I definitely think you need a bigger tank!

That's a good idea, just never seen it done like that before. :idea:

I second that, you were moving in the wrong direction

 

[Herefishyfishy]

Considering moving up 50-100%. Back when I downsided from the 135, was a different world. Trickle filters were the new rage, Ebo jager just came out with a waterproof heater, and testing was moving to kits from old titration.

Though it's not the size that matters as much as what you do with it or put in it, bigger is better in cheeseburgers and reef tanks
Thanks a lot guys, Anyone want to buy a 72 gallon bowfront complete with matching stand and hood? Maybe a 90 AGA with VHO:lol: :lol:

 

[mattseattle]

I don't need another tank! no matter how much I may want a predator type tank.

My Naso and my Yellow tang are best buddies. They hang out and swim together and eat together all the time. They play tug of war with seaweed sheets as well. Honestly, I've never seen either one of them aggressive to anything in the tank except for algae sheets. Both have excellent personalities.

As far as starboard I got it from Jason @ Clear Fabrications. You could PM him on here to find out. His nick is JPG@CFI and he has his own forum under Clear Fabrications.

 

[mattseattle]

Yeah, I'm really pleased with the rock work, now. After 4 years of having a tank you would think I'd know how to aquascape by now.

 

[Slickdonkey]

R.I.P, Matt's tank. I was over at his place Saturday and there's a big empty spot where the tank used to be. So sad!

So I went upstairs, looked at his new Aquapod, and drank all his beer.

 

[Krish]

ROFL!! Bummer...Aquapods rock though

 

[mattseattle]

What? My tank is gone?
