Let's see some set ups!

Fishboxers,

I know there are some saltwater keepers in here, and they need to come out of the closet! Be proud of whatever your rockin!

I'll start. This is a custom 75 that I put together for the Seattle Home show. 48x20x18 is the tank size, sump is 45x19x19, and the stand is natural cherry, as is the canopy. Eheim 1260 pump, and 2-200Watt Ebo's for the heat. (thanks Corey, you da man) Plumbing came out super clean, and the filter sock run real quiet, especially with the drain set up. The blacked out box on the right side of the sump, is the ATO chamber. Automatic Top Off, and holds 7.5 gallons. Should be enough to take care of the evap on her for 10 days or so. Enjoy, Jason

Lets hear what you Fishboxers think!

Love those dimensions for a 75 gallon!!!   

Nice work. I hope to show my new tank when it's completed!

Beautiful tank and accessories. Great tank design for the saltwater.

We had a 75G saltwater setup for about a year and a half. The grandkids loved this tank as it was a total living environment...things crawling out of the rocks, on the substrate and walls, stuff showing up that wasn't there before, fish breeding, shrimp molting and running around, snails that disappeared into the substrate, polys growing opening and closing...many many good things about the tank.

Cory - What are you building? i'm thinking of converting one tank, i miss having a reef tank. Last one i had was about 10 years ago and then another 10 years when I was a kid before that. I remember not knowing anything about salt water tanks besides what my LFS told me and I was only 15 years old, no internet. Don't think I ever changed the water and I had the tank a few years.

That sump looks better than some tanks Ive seen!   

just figured id share a few of my favorite setups (along with my xmas morning rockpile )

  - makes under my tank look like a mess. Think I'll get under there and start labeling, and tucking cords.


  - Anthraxx, nice tanks. Love the shell dwellers! But- this is a salty thread. Have you posted pictures in the Gallery? There is a couple 5's here!!

I'm still waiting to see a pic of swamp-rat's super nano saltwater micro tank of amazing. She brought it to the PSAS event at the GSAS table. It was amazing to see how the whole little thing was alive!

I'm trying to get a new Nano salt tank set up and i'm figuring out what I'm going to do right now...so hope to post on here at some point when i start it up. Maybe I should join PSAS too? Too bad I missed the big frag swap last month. Been out of the salty side of things for many years now.

puffers are awesome!

yeah i have always been facinated by them cow puffers are my favorites

Here is my tank...only a few fish (Percula Clown, Tail Spot Blenny, Yellow Watchman Goby) a Cleaner Shrimp, a bunch of snails, conch, and for corals I just have Xenia, Frogspawn, Torch, Hammer and a Acan (love my LPS).  Anyway the tank is doing well but just getting started really with small frags.

OK, was being funny and posted some freshwater tank pics for fun.   

Removed due to controversy of 'not being salt'

Those are great but "where's the salt"...? :-)

In the kitchen in a little shaker.

I had to share since our salt people are so slim around here...

The 40B currently has my Red Isletas in it (He is in timeout!) until my hairy puffer comes in this week

True, that why I was pumped when I saw you reply...until I saw there was no salt.   

Yeah, I was posting pics on another site and just posted some here too. Should have just started up a tank update post but was lazy and just added them here. Where are the salt people?

I was going to say, "I thought that this was a salt water setup thread".

That's one reason I never posted pictures in this thread. It's a salty thread.

Well some people have such thin skin, the computer makes them grow muscles.     I could care less about the red lines on EVERYTHING I say, I dont know what to say.    I guess when you try to help people, that deserves a red line.  When you contradict something someone says, that deserves a red line.  When you try and in force the rules, that deserves a red line.  And when you just point out the obvious, that too deserves a red line.  

The pictures of the freshwater setups started all the way back on the seventh post on this thread, even BallardfishGuy made a comment right above me about them not being salt, where is his red line?      

I think you are correct fNAb.

So I removed the pictures so as not to be controversial.

I have no problems and have not red lined anyone, who is so thin skinned?

^ WOW!

fishNAbowl wrote:^ WOW!

   

Stunning marine tank...that's a lot of work there and its gorgeous!

You guys make it look so easy!!
