AT's tank... resurrected....

[Achilles Tang]

Here's my tank after so long... resurrected and rescaped.... bare bottom for a few months already!

Went for the 'pinnacles' look as I have more depth to play now...

Added in a Tunze wavebox and now have 4 Tunze streams as well.

Coral colours not so great... had probs with my CR clogging a few weeks ago when I was out of town for a week and recently my CO2 canister is out of gas... work & other priorities is taking so much time from my tank!

Not much pix for now as I'm going to be busy for Aquarama 05!

I miss my old tank's look...

Wow !!! still has the wow essence

[timzhiquan]

[daimy068]

You beauty! Veery nice aquascaping! Looks realistic enough...like a natural reef with the 3 'pinnacles'.

[Dispar_Anthias]

kanasai always make us drool

[Achilles Tang]

Here's the right side... it's a triangular slope....

[hotlemond]

Not much colors??

AT, your tank now already qualified for RC another TOTM laio...

How you do it mann.

Hi AT,

Can you share the pros and cons of going bare bottom compare to before? How do you keep the nitrate down? Using ultra skimming?

How many fishes do you keep in your tank? Thanks.

Wow! still looks so colourful

Great looking tank, post some close ups when you find time!

[subxero]

wow!!!

[Achilles Tang]

Here's my explanation on the shapes of the structures that I have planned....

The right side simulates a narrow reef flat strip on top and has a massive sloping triangular shape, denoted by the red lines.

The central pinnacle slowly spreads down into an inverted triangle (yellow lines) where the narrow neck/middle portion is taken up by fast-growing staghorns to fill up the middle of the tank. The rock structure's foot is a roundish base (orange lines) where monti caps are given space to grow out.

[Achilles Tang]

Seriously... some corals have darken quite considerably due to my neglect. I guess I'll have to wait a while for the colours to come back... good things take time to happen... bad things happen very quickly.

[daimy068]

Thought of everything didn't you?/

The colors are not great, they're fantastic considering the fact that you've rescaped!

Keep the pictures coming! BTW, how's the wavebox working for you?

Actually, I rescaped in stages... starting from left side to middle to right. Therefore some corals which should have been in higher lighting were placed in not so bright places, causing loss of colour.

The wavebox is great! love it... no time to do an actual review... too lazy/busy... haha!

I see...well, tank still looks great. Hope your corals will color up to their full glory eventually.

Anyway, looking forward to your review on the wavebox too.

See you at the seminar tomorrow.

Wanted to ask this question long ago but keep on forgetting

How do you guys manage to capture those shots under the strong lights?

I tried fiddling with the exposure but still it turned up crappy

Anyway, finally your reef is up again after the mishap...
