Well, after research, I am installing a new tank with that dimmensions, so I want to take a look to some of them and how did you put your pump return and powerheads on it and the aquascape you designed.

Thanks !!

What kind of setup will you be getting?

I'm ordering a custom oceanic 58g 3 sided starphire setup from my LFS. It's about 36 x 18 x 21.

You can see the nozzles. They are towards the top. There are two next to the Orange Monti. Cap. And there is one between the Green hammer and the Green Monti. Cap.

Thanks Razzagas!

I don't have any recent pics. In all honesty my tank is in need of a serious cleaning.:rolleyes: I'm in the middle of a huge bubble algea outbreak, thanks to my pistol shrimp digging up my sandbed. I'm going to reconfigure the tank soon. Remove the sandbed and add a closed loop.

big custom skimmer
carbon/phosgard reactor

I redid the rockwork a bit since that pic and removed the leather since then(was growing to fast to keep up with) and i have started adding a few SPS to the mix.

Hey EnderG60,

do you have pictures of your skimmer?
BTW, how is the actual waterflow on your tank?

Thanks.

EnderG60
10/30/2006, 11:50 AM
ill see if i can dig up some pics of it.

its a mag 7 return, mag 5 on the skimmer.

in the tank is one maxijet 1200 on the left of the column blowing to the left, and then a maxijet 900 with a hydro on the right side both about mid height in the tank. I took that 3rd one out.
