Frankie's 120gal. glass experiment - Page 100

Nice increase in water volume Frankie, looks awesome!

Frankie · 04-30-2008, 10:25 PM

Thanks Craig!

I just got in and turned on the light to see how it cleared up. It looks great!
I had about 240lbs in the display Victor. I might cut back even more. I am really digging the open space now. Look at how much rock is in the sump now

Most of the corals are still on there plugs Terry. Very easy to remove. The biggest problem was the large monti. I busted it up some but not to bad. Not enough for anyone but me to notice anyhow. I need to find a few local reefers and give some of it away. Its to damn big and takes a lot of space. Here are a few more pictures. I will get some good ones once it all settles down.

Wowzerz X 2!! That monti is HUGE,... and the clam is as well! Looks great! I like the new open floor plan!

Wow! I'm digging the new "opennes" bro! I like it!

I can see why you did it too... that surge box would be pointless how you had the rock! Make GREAT sense!!

Wow! *drooling* that Monti is SWEET!!

Thanks for the update buddy! Take care

nikkipigtails · 04-30-2008, 11:18 PM

Wow! That's a lot of rock and a ginormous monti! I could use that guy as a step ladder! I really like the way your tank turned out with the new rockscape. There's a lot more room in there...I think it makes your tank look a little bigger.

KimPossible · 04-30-2008, 11:37 PM

I love your new scape Frankie, it has really opened up your tank. Wow ! the monti that you pulled out is absolutely beautiful. Your hole tank is SPS, isn't it?

Craig Manoukian · 04-30-2008, 11:49 PM

I love the cap!

rebekwl · 05-01-2008, 12:00 AM

WOW! That Monti Cap is gorgeous! I like the new open look, I bet the fish love it!!

Ratpack · 05-01-2008, 08:07 AM

Congrats on the new look. Very similar to the rock work I have for my tank, IF it ever gets water in it.

And hey, I am only 1.5 hours away when you want to get rid of frags!

Always nice to get to Charleston area and I still have a little room in my smaller tank.

BigAl07 · 05-01-2008, 08:22 AM

I REALLY like the new look bro! I know I said so last night but I like it even MORE This morning! Imagine what I'll be saying tonight!

Frankie · 05-01-2008, 08:31 AM

Wait until i post the new pictures! I took out a bit more rock and added a bit more. I created an lps corner and completly opened up the front for the clams. Busy morning!
Ratpack, your welcome to come and get some monti cap from me any time. Send me a pm when you would like to make the trip. The door is always open.

Ratpack · 05-01-2008, 08:40 AM

Thanks, I may just do that. Shoot, I'd just like to see the tank in person.

BigAl07 · 05-01-2008, 08:47 AM

hmmmmm Bro's having OPEN HOUSE!! May have to make a "long wekend trip" down that way

blue_eyes53813 · 05-01-2008, 08:53 AM

Tank Looks great Frankie. I have been thinking of doing that with my tank.. But just cant seem to start it, lol

Frankie · 05-01-2008, 01:55 PM

I typed it in my thread so i had no choice.

Once i got going though it was all good. The sand still needs to settle down but here are a few pictures from a moment ago.
