Sounds like an awesome setup. I wish I could get four 6055's! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

So far it's working I thought the flow might be abit much but it cranks !

Here is a pic with the rock set up and flowing.



And surface flow.. (Waves)

Looks like a great start!

Another tank for me to watch become a thing of beauty!

Will it be all SPS or a mixture with LPS?

It was going to be a frag tank with racks, But after I was in Fl. and saw Dacro's I changed my mind and found a couple of cool rock I got in, and it changed to a all Acro tank which will still be a growout tank. But it's going to take some time which is something I don't have allot of...!

I love the rockwork. And you know me. I like flow.

[marineduud]

I know you like flow and so do I but thats about 160X flow rate in the tank !!! LOL
But I think it won't have any dead spots for anything to settle. Oh did you notice the little acro in the pic. ? It cam in a shippment and was RTNing and I stuck it in the tank and it's been a week and it's doing better, it's not anything great but its doing good in a new tank!!

Looks great. I love the rock work.
Making me jealous now I have to redo mine. I completely understand the "time" thing.

[dacro]

Awesome Duud!!!! I like the clean design and the scape!

I know you don't have a lot of time, but can you post some pics on how you do your drilling? From what you tell me it's soooo easy this way (not to mention virtually fool proof)...

Can't wait to see more... Miss ya!!!

Very Nice!

Like the rock work. That is some flow Robert.

I think the rockwork looks great. I'm amazed the sand isn't washed out with that much flow! Looking forward to more pics too!
