Needing tank ideas

I seen a couple where is has very little rock work. Maybe a tower on each side. One guy in Waterloo has a tower on each end coming up, with a flat rock on top of each. It looks really cool

Lighting my new ones with Hydra 26's

 

Aquascaping ideas

Butterfly garden ? That's an idea..... I think the first step is figur out what fish you want before anything else ..... At 180 gal your options are pretty open but fish don't mix

 

T5s for lighting. Ati fixture for sure. I want to upgrade in size. Too bad my wife says no.

 

Yeah depending on coral choices, lighting ATI 60 inch 8 bulb Sunpower with a reef Brite blue led strip hooked on front. If all acros go with a 3 250 watt radiums. I would do probably 3 or 4 rock islands and connect 2 with an arch. That's what I would do with a 180. And a big as skimmer.

 

I would plan out a sps tank that takes into consideration how the corals look when they grow into colonies. I would try to put most of the branching corals behind the tabling corals, leaving plenty of space in between each frag depending on what it is.

 

Jason you should check out saltysupply.com footer on their website its s actual tank that I came across online but can not find it now. That’s the look I’m going for in the 150 I'm setting up in my new shop. For lighting you should consider the radion G3 pros I was strictly halide but have had excellent color and growth in my sps only tank with them over the last year.
