Some pics of my new 450g marine tank

[peterac]

Several people had mentioned they wanted to see some pics of my new 450g marine tank. Thanks for you interest. Right now the tank is cycling with just the 380 lbs. of LR. I will add pics as the tank matures. Where is the best place to keep a photo diary of my tank (my album?)

Stay tuned as I have a whole bunch of additional questions.

Regards,
Pete R.

So what kind of critters did you find on 380# of rock? Bet you got some kind of collection there!

 

[IndyReef]

exactly what i was wondering Phyl. tons of stuff has to be in 380lbs of live rock. how much of the LR was new versus coming from other tanks? 380lbs of new LR would be fun watching on its own.

You know I thought I would have more critters on this rock. Yes there are sponges and various flavors of coralline algae, however, there are not many others on this rock. Mainly just sessile creatures. Anyway, it is just the beginning.

If you can swing the bigger tank go for it. Your tank will be more stable in the long run...

Did you get rid of that ugly fish inside the tank

Nicely done peterac. You may not see any critters on it now, but give it some time. Eventually they will come out. More pics to follow I hope.

I dig your aquascaping

WOW Great Tank!! I never would have thought that someone would have to worry about salt creep on their CEILING!!!

Looks like a lot of potential! Will you be installing the tank lights directly from the suspended ceiling? Seems like the logical thing to do.

In regards to:

Where is the best place to keep a photo diary of my tank (my album?)

Yes, you will have much more storage space in your gallery than simply attaching them to posts. You can then include pictures from your gallery in your posts with the img bbcode. And, if you run out of room in your gallery, you could always sponsor the site, I believe that gets you a fair more amount of gallery and post attachment space. Oh, and the thread should probably be in our Show Off/Photos section of the site. We can move this one there if you want to keep the same thread.
