patrick Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Here are some updated pics. I still have another 10 fish to add. The algae growth really makes it look more natural I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Music_ Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am curious to know how you finished off the edges of the background so that the yellow foam does not show on the side of the tank. You do not show a clear pic of this. Also, what is your lighting set-up for this? It looks stunning! Thanks for putting all the labour into showing us, it really is an inspiration!

You do not show a clear pic of this. Also, what is your lighting set-up for this? It looks stunning! Thanks for putting all the labour into showing us, it really is an inspiration! Thanks! The tank is in a corner of the room (the left side where the module is) so this was not an issue. Since the slimline is only 1" thick this was not really an issue on the other side either, but if you cut the slimline 1/4 short on the sides and fill with black silicone the foam will not be visible. The lighting in this tank is 1 Philips 32 W T8 Daylight 6500K (front) and 1 Zoo Med 36 W T8 Actinic 420 (back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Brilliant Patrick! It's great to see these hunters packing up as in nature. I am interested in an FTS too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
