Well, over the weekend I finally moved my 30G to a 75G. I decided that I would give bare bottom a try (sorry Mike.. :-D ). Not that there's anything wrong with sand, I personally had DSB's in my previous tanks and would reccomend one to anybody if they're willing to commit to it, but i wanted to give it a try...that's a whole other thread.

The tank is a Perfecto tank, the stand was given to me as a freebie by a good friend, that's the only reason it's on a custom stand, had it been up to me it would be on a crappy looking stand made with 4x4's. If anybody makes fun of my painting skills on the stand... :razz: Lightning is still my one MH 175 15k on the left ide of the tank, need to buy a ballast for my other bulb, for now it has a crappy 40w 50/50 tube on the right hand side.

Any comments please do...

TY guys!! Conni I really don't like how it came out. i just don't feel like playing with it for now. And your tank's aquascape looks great, you don't need my help with that.

Looks great George. I really like the two separate rock structures. The one on the left is perfect, the one on the right looks like it could use a bit of tweaking. It usually takes me weeks to get the rocks where I want them, and then I won't touch the tank for a couple months. I still haven't rescaped the cube from when I had to tear it apart looking for that crab, that's how annoyed I was once all the rocks went back in. ;)

Great job! btw...when are you flying home from MACNA? Monday?
