How do you do to maintain clean the white glass base?

Hi Yano, good to see you in my thread. How is your system coming along? Always been a fan of the way you approached your tank.

To answer your question, I just scrape it clean when I scrape the glass clean

CurvBall · 10/18/2012, 04:08 PM

Some more photos...

Thanks CurvBall!
Today I prefer a thin layer of sand, but do not rule out using white glass base someday to create an aquarium with extreme currents.
Regarding my tank, I think you will soon see its current state.

yano · 10/19/2012, 06:05 AM

I love these latest pictures, very clean!
Have you thought about painting the back glass?

Reef_Noob · 10/19/2012, 05:43 PM

Nice aquascaping.....
Also an interesting combo of LEDs you are using there.
Always great to see another successful LED illuminated tank

Happy Reefing!!

GSMguy · 10/19/2012, 06:05 PM

Tank looks great! Very clean, how tall is the rockwork at the highest point?

dvanacker · 10/19/2012, 06:13 PM

Nice and clean. What exactly is a triton lagoon?

Acronic · 10/19/2012, 07:07 PM

I wanted to ask the same question, What is the Triton system?

CMcNeil · 10/19/2012, 09:20 PM

awesome setup you have there and nice equipment list you got there

.love the rockwork and overall feel of the tank.my tank is very close to yours in dimensions so your tank helps me see what mine can look like when up and running.

Reef_Noob · 10/23/2012, 01:00 AM

I presume he is using the Triton additives system for maintenance. Hence the name

They have a basic elements 3 part dosing system and other trace additives.
Not exactly balling but something similar. That's all I know

Good to see another tank going Curvball, I was a big fan of the nano zeo system AIO, looking forward to this one!!!
