Nathan's 200L Starfire Rimless tank

[tekkengal]

Love the rock structure! Did you use rods to stabilize them?
Can't wait to see coral in your tank

 

[birkettN]

Nope no rods The two rocks for the pillar fitted into each other so well and the arch is secure how its lying

 

[tekkengal]

Like a Lego piece
You are lucky, mine looks like it is held together by chewing gum

Loving seeing the progress of this tank. Can't wait to see it with the LED unit on it.

Gotta thank birkettN for the help moving my tank and half my house around today along with helping carry the water to fill it as well. All while recovering from bronchitis

Big ups

Some pics of my new LR and Blenny peaking out of rock

I like this scape much more, you get more flow under the rock and nice caves for fish to hide.
Cute blenny, looks like he did something naughty and is hiding from the impending scolding, lol!

 

[birkettN]

Ye he needs a hiding I think

 

[birkettN]

Got my lights

Got my lights

Looking great, although we recommend 60cm coverage from 1 x 90W unit looks like you pushing 80cm and getting away with it

Thanks, ye its pretty close, will just keep SPS towards the centre

 

[Fishy Steve]

Really dig it. Why no pics of the inhabitants?

 

[birkettN]

Wish granted, just the baby clowns for now.

Updates :

Got myself 2 more snails and a fire shrimp

Can anybody perhaps ID this shrimp ?! Spotted it crawling out of my LR the other day, and yes I have heard clicking sounds so it's either a pistol or mantis shrimp I can assume ?

 

[Evo R]

Either way better get that sucker out!!!

Get a bucket with RO water in, then remove the rock he is hiding in. Place it in the bucket and shake or try and pry it out of its hiding spot, and once out put the rock back in your tank.
Simple.

 

[birkettN]

Lol ye will make a plan

 

[birkettN]

Got myself a green base/pink tip elegance coral yesterday

 

[PM Aquatics]

Nice scape.

Will look good once grown out.
