For some reason the site won't post my pictures. Is there another way to do it?

Use the imageshack option in the post. After it uploads, you have to paste the complete link into your post.

I like the layout of the first picture the best. Looks GREAT!

i'll be adding some more rock to it because what i have isn't enough. Only 150lbs in there now, and i'll be bringing the rock over from my 55 gallon also.

starfishprime · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2010, 15:25:22 »

interesting rockwork, like lazy said the first one I like a lot. Did you use rods in the 2nd one?

SnOwY · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2010, 18:32:32 »

yeah used acrylic rods

HUNGER · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2010, 21:05:58 »

What kind of stand and canopy is that?

SnOwY · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2010, 06:50:57 »

not sure it came with the tank.

I got my mag18 for the skimmer and my mag12 for the sump today and finshed a little plumbing so maybe this weekend i will get water in it. I hope cuz i'm very inpatient lol.

I hope cuz i'm very inpatient lol

I'll vouch for that statement lol

I like the dimensions of the tank, and the acrylic-rod-stabilized formation. The mounds in the first pic are awesome, but admittedly very common. I still have a few years before I upgrade, but knowing where to get acrylic rods for a price like that is gonna come in handy

I can't wait to see this thing with water, and lit up!

Very nice. Can't wait to see it finished!
