    hey AQ! its been ages since i last posted. those who still remember me would know i used to keep a 422 planted tank which later become a altum planted tank. for the past 1 yr+ i have been into marine tank.. totally quitting freshwater. i have seen set up a 4x2x1.2ft shallow reef build 8 months + ago! heres a progress journal over the 8months!







    at this moment, i got poisoned when i got my first few frags/colonies of SPS



    Scape changed to accommodate more sps



    corals growing really well..



    this was taken today, removed the black background and used a penknife to scrap out all coraline/green algae. Loving the clean back look.. its making my tank looks much larger than the pic with the black background!

    Re: EvolutionZ's Shallow reef build.

    How are you finding the shallow depth? I am going for an upgrade from a 4ft to a 5ft but a shallow depth of 18inch. I find 2ft depth a bit of a hassle nowadays.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    Very lovely setup. Do you use a chiller for the tank?

    i find it great! though i have a few anthias and my beloved midas blenny jumped out before but to be able to view both front and top view is really cool. and maintainance, reaching to the back of tank as well as catching fish is also much easier!
