JB's setup

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I would like some input on my system. Would someone be willing to come take a look, I think I have room for improvement. </span></span>

 

[dakota9]

Post some pics and tell us about it. Collectively, we could give you more input than one or even two people stopping by.

Got this one but is a little older.

 

[gnashty]

nice set up, like the bar stand. set up sounds pretty good but without looking "under the hood" its hard to tell. Visually i would change the blue background to black - may make your rock/coral "pop" under the lights

<span style="font-size: 13px"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Ill get pics of the guts soon. NO way to change the background w/o taking down the tank it&#8217;s like 10 coats of latex paint.</span></span>

That's it?

I'll make you 1 if u want.

 

[misu]

Group the pumps and put them on the black overflow if you can so they blend in better with the background

And add more rock maybe some funky construction

 

[Jaycen B.]

No JD I have to go cheep like mist but will this do?

That is a really nice offer. I would pay you for one in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a nice stand.
I like the blue background. It adds alot of natural looking depth. Plumbing is really clean. You definitely took your time and have thought this thing through to accomplish what you want from it later down the road. I can't wait to see the updates on it

PM me a price for a stand like this to fit a 120 4X2X2 please.

 

[Jaycen B.]

I can not build you one just like it because mine would not be one of a kind.

But I am sure we could do something similar!

 

[Jaycen B.]

Still open for constructive criticism.

 

[weaglereefer]

You'll likely need a bigger/better skimmer. The Coralife Super Skimmers can be alright, but I feel they're overrated by about 1/2.

Oh, and more rock, maybe a tower or some arches.

Maybe some larger powerheads so you can have less of them. They kinda take away from the look, IMO.



And get rid of the damsel!

Thanks. The damsel is on his way out it's a but, thinks it's boss.

So how about this for a skimmer.:thumbs:
