Robb in Austin Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Howdy all, After looking through the forum for inspiration for aquascaping my soon to be setup 75g, I found an old thread with FTS from a few folks. Thought it was time to redo this for/with the new folks. I'll start. Taken this AM. And as bad as the GHA looks now, 6 weeks ago it was 1000% worse. Those two white tubes are going to my Bulk Reef Supply twin reactor running GFO/GAC. And the UFO in the tank is a light behind me reflecting. Specs: 58g, Aquactinics TX5(ATI lamps, blue + x2, blue special x2, procolor) Let's see 'em Central Texas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here is one from about a month ago of my 75: I am overdue for a new round of pictures. Lighting Info: 2 150W MH (Phoenix 14K) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 How about some light info? BTW, I think you need another Koralia or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 How about some light info? BTW, I think you need another Koralia or two. Added lighting info. And yes, I did originally go overboard with powerheads . I was afraid of dead spots, and ended up creating a rip tide in the tank. I have pull back and now only have one Koralia in the tank (in the middle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmanning Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Everyone....Nice FTS. Mike...those polyps are huge and pretty too. Any luck on ID'ing these creatures. They do look pretty rare....never seen anything like it. Have you posted anywhere else (other forums) to see if you get any feed back. Just a thought---unless you already did.

fishypets Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Old FTS of the 125 (not much of a aquascape-just a straight rock wall) FTS of the 200 (nice open scape with caves and ledges) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The extra rock looks really good! thanks... now im just waiting for it to purple up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustint21 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ok sorry it took so long... here are new pics. What do you think? Im thinking about flipping the middle flat rock over so the middle cave isnt so big and fake looking. Thanks for looking! Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin I like what you've done to the rockwork....it gives a more natural look when connected. I think you're right about flipping the flat rock, even creating an arch would look good but not w/a flat rock; maybe something with more texture/crevices (you know what I mean?) -Cindy- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustint21 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks Cindy! I really like the flat rocks! LOL! There is just so much room for placing corals. Im sure I will change it a few more time before I am happy with it. Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Dustin, I like the rock work. I could go either way with the flipping, but I think you are right in that it would be better. Now is the time to be re-arranging before the corals are on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
