My new tank

[deanemarine]

Hi there every one right i have decided to buy the Aqua-medic anthias 160
I am going to add a blue refugium
I am also going to add my my Teco chiller and my korallin bio-denitrator

Paint it black

Paint it black

Yip,I agree with War,black is better.It makes a huge difference.You can go to your local plastics supplier(Maizeys) and tell them you want black plastic sheeting the same as the stuff they use for sign writing on windows.Sticky on one side.You put it on with water and use a credit card to smooth it out.Looks damn good.

Now you're showing your age

 

[jacquesb]

LOL! I too are probably getting old - because I too would like it black rather than "red'ish"...
And black on the rear glass pane would also look AWESOME!

Not sure if you know, this from the Stones

 

[jacquesb]

LOL - ok - No - I never really listened to the Rolling Stones' music

Ha ha Not a ballie yet just used to play in a band. But black and a dark blue are really nice colours to use as your back.

Aquascaping any one got a good plan for my new tank

 

[jacquesb]

Did you receive the tank yet, Deane?

My suggestion, would be to have "2 coral bommies" - one on the left, one on the right of the tank, with some flat life rock creating a "tunnel" or "Bridge" between the 2 coral bommies.....

Hope this makes sense...

 

[deanemarine]

Do you mean like this jacquesb

 

[jacquesb]

Yes Deane - but with the "Bridge" but much shorter - creating a small tunnel/swim through....
