Tank Pictures of Sacramento

toofrigginswt · 10/25/2012, 02:53 PM

Curious to see other member's tanks look like on here. I didn't see a picture thread anywhere in the the MARS sub-forum so I decided to start one. I know there are some amazing tanks out there. Don't be shy!

toofrigginswt · 10/25/2012, 03:01 PM

I'll start...

Here was my first tank back in 2002. Ran for 3 years before I turned it into a FOWLR tank for easier maintenance for my parents. Unfortunately, it's the only picture I have of the tank. This picture was when the tank was about a year old. I wish I took more pictures because all of the brown sps colored up quite nicely.

I've also had a 40gal LPS Bowfront and a Nano cube in between but unfortunately, I never took any pics.

My last one was a small nano tank as well. Only had it up and running for about a year before I had to tear it down and move.

both of your tanks looked nice! the cube was real clean man.

i don't have a recent pic, but here's a video of mine taken a couple weeks ago:

Nice tank Tfp!

Man that's a huge tank. I've always wanted a peninsula tank... just never had the room or layout for one.

Keep the pics/video coming people!

Tom your tank is amazing. I like your low aquascape. I'd love to see it in person one of these days.

Glad to see a local thread. I'm looking to break the ice and jump into marine tanks (actually since my wife is in medical school, I currently have a budget just big enough for a stripped, used cube. So more like stick my toe in the water). Thanks for the pics, anyone do meet ups to bs about tanks?

sfbayview · 05/11/2013, 07:44 PM

Nothing special yet, my old 120g long ... just moved it my first house I own ... Now I can give it some more attention, most things made it ... getting some led lights to add to the two 250w halides next week ... went for a more natural look ... one halide is on in the pic waiting on a new bulb ... prolly will add a shallow sps tank in the near future beside my qt and frag tank ... Mostly kept it because I have had the fish for a two years now ... the fu man chu lion-fish I have is my fav.

toofrigginswt · 05/11/2013, 11:54 PM

Nice! Finally some more action in this thread. Keep it coming people.
