Nice. I just looked at the 170 on BRS, its sold out at the moment. But it says for heavy stocked tanks its only rated to 140g so that may not work. Now when you go to the next model, that's nulled right away bc its definitely too big for where I need it unfortunately, its about 3" taller than the one I have now which is a no go
I think I'm gonna go with a DC9000. Rated at 2377gph at the highest setting. Should be more than enough.
Well I did my 25g water change tonight and re did the rock work, not sure if I really like it yet.. Opinions?
Dan I still don't think that's enough you should find out what sea world uses on the whale tank
Listen here ya jerk, u just worry about your unlevel tank! Lmao jk
I do want an open middle, well it doesn't have to be the middle but I do want an open area. Have any pics of the staircase idea?
Lmao I hate u John...
On a side note, I put my 2nd dose into the tank this morning one more week.
one more week.
Ironically your islands are similar to mine, though you did one thing better than I did which was move them towards the back.
Two thoughts you have some nice tonga rock ...think is on the right side...saw it better in your old pics....try to make use of it.
Move the mountains as far back up against the overflows as possible and towards the back of the tank...I like the higher one on the left.
Third thing ...do what you like haha.

Yeah I was trying to incorporate those Tonga pieces like a bridge between the 2 islands but I can't get it the way I like it! Lol the island on the right is the one I just kinda threw together, it looks blah to me. I'll probably redo that side and move the Tonga around. I'm not so much going for the way the rocks look now but how my reef will look in a few years while also making plenty of hiding places for everyone
I used flat pieces sort of looked like star destroyer pieces of rock that I used for a bridge but my tank is only 4ft .... I tried to use one of the tonga pieces that way too now it is sticking up with zoas growing on it and I like it better. Maybe you can just have some flat pieces in the back center? Would be a cool place to put clams for instance.
I do have one big flat piece but its currently on the left side of the tank, maybe I can use that and then redo that spot with other rock.
Do u think it'd look better with a bridge at a high point or a midway point?

That's what I was thinking. I have a perfect spot for it I think. Maybe I'll mess with some more later on today
Thanks James! I'll certainly try lol
