testing pics Empty very nice

Post  Admin 25th July 2009, 3:34 pm

I like the zoas mate,one of my favourite aquarium species and i would say over all they are very popular with most aquarium keepers these days with the colour variations avaliable now.
Out in our waters we mainly only see the all green,green and purple,grey,brown and a cream coloured one as well.
Looks good!
Oh and disney land looks nice as well,lol.
If you have a few pics of disney land,there is the anything else section,some of Ausies would get a kick out of seeing a bit of about it.
The forum can handle 10 or 20 pics in a thread if need be,is that what the testing was about,just reduce their content to make it easier on the server.

I'll cut the pics to a smaller size from now on, thanks for that. I'll see what I can dig up for Disney pics

Thanks

I agree with Chuck..

Doing a nice tank really depends on what your definition of nice tank is.. whether it be equipment wise or display tank setup.

I think to have a nice looking tank, it honestly isn't really just about what corals are there.. because i've seen some tanks with corals that look absolutely horrible, and FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) tanks that look a LOT better.

It just takes a bit of fore thought, and trying to make it look realistic. Although, you also don't need a big rock wall to have a nice looking tank. Just look at my tank thread as an example of something slightly different, and i'll be doing a thread for my 2ft tank that i've just re-setup for something slightly outside the square.

By that i mean my son and myself would find it hard to get such a nice result.
we are new to a marine tank and your fish and corals look very healthy!
I would also like to see a few photos of your's and your partners trip to Disney land as well.

Mandy,

As i said above, a bit of forethought and planning, with how you set up your rocks makes a huge difference sometimes. A saying that i see a lot of guys who are involved in Hot Rodding (My other hobby) say.. "Less Is More". Also, painting the back of your tank makes it look 100x better straight away.

Hell, i've got sand, water and a black painted wall in my 2ft tank with one powerhead and a tiny peice of rock, and already it looks neater than a lot of tanks i've seen.

Remember, all tanks start somewhere, but with a bit of thought, they can be great from the get go.

Mandy in addition to what DeadSled has said, it has taken me lots of time and patience to get my tank to where it is now. LOTS of research. There is some very smart people around you, use them.
