I am dosing BRS 2 part recipe #1 and using T5 lighting. It's very easy to grow coralline in my tank!

Dwolson2 means I should do a 'bean animal' style overflow. My new tank has an overflow installed.

Re: Nikecivic's 135g Mixed Reef Tank
It's been more than a couple of months, so wheres the new tank?
He's contracted me to build the stand. Work will start this weekend. Got to do some final design work with him. I'll start a build thread of the stand with pictures once I get started. Look for it next week.

Re: Nikecivic's 135g Mixed Reef Tank
It won't be as exotic as the bamboo one you built.
I'm using poplar as we are staining it to match the rest of his furniture. Using a design based off of a stand he sent me a picture of with a few modifactions. Decorative coves in the uprights. Raised pannel doors. Matching ends with the same coves and raised pannels. Decorative triom on headder and footer. Just a few basic things.
I'm still trying to convince him to build matching pendants for his lights rather than a canopy.

Re: Nikecivic's 135g Mixed Reef Tank
It's going to be though when I have power bills less than $40/month. Also, furloughs are coming soon so the tank may not be up until before FRAG.
