MAAST members, give me full tank shots please

[gjuarez]

Hello,
I would like to see some full tank shots so I can inspire some people in the valley, and of course to copy your aquascaping :P I have tried to look at some pics in the members gallery but a lot of people that I searhced for did not have any. Looking at pictures was what inspired me to start a reef, so post your pics and inspire some more people.

you should look at the image gallery. you can only post three pics per post but there you can look at 100's

[gjuarez]

Oh I am sorry. Moderator is it possible for you to delete this thread.

[gjuarez]

Very cute kid. All your tanks were amazing. i love the aquascaping on the 125 and you have a very deserving tank of the month. Thanks for the pics. I will try to take a picture of mine but I need to borrow my friends camera first.

Alex, I do not have a camera but I am trying to get my friend to take some pics. Right now it is almost empty. I only have a crocea clam and two very small cap frags. i just finished selling all my softies and I am getting ready for an sps only tank. I need frags!!

[don-n-sa]

this is what the tank looks like today, but what it will look like tomorrow is anybodys guess

[RobertG]

Here is a few...

[ansonluna]

Here is my 125gal. It is set up as a room divider, so one pic is from the right side. The other from the left. It's only been set up for a month, so there is not much going on in there....I'ma poor mexican so I have to go slow :D .

[gjuarez]

Hey, I am a poor mexican too. LOL I love your aquascaping. How do you keep you rocks from falling? To all those who posted your tank pics, thanks. They are look awesome.

[GaryP]

Here are my 2 tanks

[gjuarez]

Wow, those are awesome tanks Gary. What is that on the left of the second pic? Is that a toadstool?

[eric]

Ten year work in progress. It used to look so big to me. Then I found y'all.

Here is a pic of my newly setup 150 Acrylic Tall.

[Jimnorris]

Hello!
I used to have a tank :(
You can see pictures of it at www.tanku.net
Alot of MAAST members help me with it!
Jim

[ansonluna]

HA HA, my rocks are all leaning against each other. My sand is not deep so I made sure the rock was stable on the bottom of the tank. It took me hours to set up the rock so they would support each other...they are not going anywhere and it helps with flow. But if I need to moove any rock at the bottom the whole thing has to get set up again. I had a cichlid tank for 3 yrs and used to re-set up my holey rock every few months because I would get tired of staring at the same aquascaping. I got ALOT of practice. I'm proud of my work...but I'm not patting myself on the back or anything :D

[jaded]

6Line... that cleaner crew is doing a great job still!!! I'd think you were scrapping the back if I didn't know better

[newhomes4reef]

Ok, there are so many spectacular tanks here that it's almost like a bubble bursting party!!! Everytime I think our tank is looking fine I see a shot from one of yours and know that i need to spend more money! This is a great post...thanks for starting it...I think i've convinced my wife we "need" to make a trip to the LFS!

[jaded]

yeah this is a great thread!!! of course i think we would all agree that our tanks look much better in person!!! It's time to start visiting homes and checking tanks out for real

[newhomes4reef]

What a great idea jaded! The Austin Pond Society sponsors and annual pond tour...we should do a Tank Tour!! That could be a very fun event!

[jaded]

Im in for the San Antonio version!!!

[NaCl_H2O]

Here is my little tank ;)

[GaryP]

Wow, those are awesome tanks Gary. What is that on the left of the second pic? Is that a toadstool?

Yes that is a toadstool leather that is taking over my tank. It was about the size of my fist when I got it about 4 yrs. ago. Its soon to become about a 1000 baby toadstools after I frag it.

When did a tour of tanks type meeting for the Oct. 2003 meeting in Austin. It was my first MAAST meeting. We might need to think about doing one in SA sometime soon.

[GaryP]

Here is my little tank ;)

Yea, aren't those little nanos a pain?

[alexwolf]

I am all for a San Antonio tank tour!!!!

[GaryP]

Next time we do a tank tour in Austin, someone else gets to wake up Tim's family.

i have one of those costom filters from dan. WAIT!! so do ya'll. now every one knows our secret.

[NaCl_H2O]

The real challenge was the tiny pieces of LR, very small coral frags, and those itty-bitty Tangs :D

But worst of all was getting Pete to do the woodwork with tiny bits of balsawood & Elmer's glue ;)

I gotta get some real tanks someday!

[gjuarez]

Wow, great tanks guys. Having a tank tour was one of the first activities we had in mind for the valley's reef club. That would help us meet a lot of people and get more members. Whenver you guys decide to do this, please post a date here so that I can plan to go. I have only seen one reef tank in person. It was all softies.

[dan]

I have only seen one reef tank in person. It was all softies.

than you need to come to the house and see mine. your welcome anytime. let me know when your in town and come on over. i'm people frindly :D :D :) :)

[gjuarez]

Cool. I certainly will. I will be going up there for the next MAAST meeting and I am really looking forward to meet the people I only know through these forums. I would like to see in person the tanks in this forum. ALthough they are great pics, I know that pictures never do a reef tank justice.

[gjuarez]

The thread is now known as the online tank tour. Join the bandwagon. Pictures of my tank with the lonely clam is coming soon. My clam needs some nice colorful friends to play with. Cant wait till April 10th.

[CD]

I don't get it. I can take great pics of GaryP. and JimD.'s tanks but mine looks like crap.
Oh well, I will post it anyway since it will be taken down in the next month or so. We can reflect back on that small 75G we used to have.

[GaryP]

I gotta get some real tanks someday!

Your water changes are bigger than most peoples tank volume.

[NaCl_H2O]

Your water changes are bigger than most peoples tank volume.

:D

[SuperXdude]

Moved tank last month...most coralline algae on back of tank is MIA.

[gjuarez]

WOw. I love all the purple color in your tank. You have good coraline algae growth. I have pretty good algae growth as well. Do you have a calcium reactor. I just use the B Ionic Calcium and Alkalinity.

[monica]

here's mine back in febuary, have added and deleted some stuff since then, but with my aptasia problem I am too ashamed to post current pic's.

[gjuarez]

Here is the link to the pictures of my tank. I suck at taking pictures, it was my first time. My tank still needs a little bit of work. THe reason I posted my tank was because I want to see it grow. Here is the link:
