Having known Phil for a while, and having just seen his new tank yesterday, I can vouch for the fact Phil has one great looking tank there! and his in-wall setup looks fantastic!

Congrats Phil!
And welcome to TRT!

Wow, that's what you called an UPGRADE.

OK How nerdy am I? It looks like the fish are being beamed up by UFO'S!!

lol, tell me about it, this pic was one of the fist pics when the tank started clearing up some. I also moved the lights up a little farther off the water to help minimize the "beaming"

Phil's tank was lot clearer when i saw it on Sunday,,,
THe Tunze wave box he had on the 300 , made for some cool water movement, real natural lookin' surges/waves, the stuff in the tank, looked like it would during a dive!

a very nice setup you have there!! could you post some more pics of the fishroom?

i also love your priorities. get the tank up first, than worry about painting the walls.

didnt have much of a choice, when i moved from my apartment i put the 90 rr downstairs in the basement from the get go, so while i worked on a majority of the project the old tank was separated by two plastic sheets. Then it came to the point where i had to move the old tank to finish the project, so i had to set up the 300 before i could finish.

monkeyreefer · 05-29-2006, 09:10 PM

here is a shot of the old tank, for reference

PelagicMagic · 06-07-2006, 09:46 PM
