Macscale's 65g Rimless Build

[Macscale]

I have to say, growth under the T5's is rapidly faster.
Although color has been sacrificed.

So I added some sand yesterday.
It really balances out the ugly 10k look I run during midday for growth...
Figured I do a quick update.

FTS:






Ok and now to show off my growth

Bonsai first hour (a month ago)




Bonsai before transfer (2 weeks ago)


Bonsai Today:




Money has been tight so I haven't had the chance to buy anything new unfortunately.
Looking to trade a few things in today and see what I can get.

Looks good with the sand Mac. What bulbs are you running?

Unfortunately lost a different type of family member today.
R.I.P to our little 10 month old puppy, Waffles.

Wow Mac that's awful news. Really sorry to hear that man, losing a pup is awful. Especially one that young. Any idea the cause?

Yeah.
A few days ago she was vomiting severely so we took her to the best animal hospital we could find. (Coincidently they had 2 saltwater reefs). They sad she had a fault in her intestine and needed emergency surgery, but it would come with a price tag of $3,500. We did it. They removed 3 feet (40in/60in.) of her intestine, yesterday.
Then she became septic throughout the night. We went to go visit her in her final hours, and she was gone. They made us little clay prints with her paw and her name.
Her older brother, Tobie, sure does miss her.

So winter decided to take a vacation to Florida today.

So sorry to hear about your loss Mac , that's awful.

But if it makes you feel a little better, it feels like -20 up here and it's snowing....

Thanks guys...
So Saltcritters has some nice LPS up, and I figured I might just give them another shot because they have a flash sale tonight.

Lol.. She just needs some more fuzzy sticks and fish

 

[bribo12]

What's the stocking plan?

I want some kind of Anthias definitely, and probably a wrasse too.
I'm not really set on anything. The scape is set around open water swimmers.
Any suggestions are welcome.

My sincerest condolences about your beautiful pup. She was blessed to have a family that loves her in her short time here.

On another note, stunning stunning tank. Absolutely beautiful. I love rimless with an open top. I did it for years (freshwater though) and after switching to covered, I respect all open tanks!

Aw, thanks so much!
That means a lot.

Bartletts are gorgeous IMO. Xmas wrasses are cool as are melanurus. A species of fairy/flasher would be cool but I'd be scared with the open top
