That volcano thing looks badass

put the valcano in the center , keep the smaller pieces of wood on the sides, build a few caves out of the rock ... bury the plastic plants in the nieghbors back yrd ........ put the austrailian hut on the end table by your bed .... yard sale the ship ........... your o's are gonna look good in that tank..(hell what wouldnt)..... but they are going to destroy it slowly .. should be fun to watch though (please post pics)... just about everything in the tank will be floating in 4-5 months ...........good luck .. love the tank

I disagree. If they grow up with those plants around they will just be used to them being there. It will just be normal for them for them to be there. Do what you gotta do. If you like it leave it that way...

Great Tank....decorating a tank is better than no decorations at all and Ive seen plenty O nasty fish packed barren tanks in here so more power 2 U. Everyone has their own ideas about looks, yours is yours and its a massive display for sure.

Thanks for the feedback!! I'm going to redecorate this weekend. Nothing drastic just moving some stuff and pulling out the opera house. The fish are hiding out in the back too much so I'm going to push back the large driftwood in the center. Rainbow caves??

My lighting is all run on a Zilla Dual Timer.

I have two 4' shop lights with T-8 6500k bulbs that are on from 4pm to 7pm
There are six 9watt puck fluorescent undercabinet lights that are on from 6am to 9pm
From 9pm to 6am the custom blue LED moonlighting is on which is on a voltage controller so I can increase or decrease the intensity.

Here is a shot from under one side of the canopy.

And here is a shot of the puck lights mounted under one side.

Here are some shots of the wet/dry

And here is the Ocean Clears and UV system that will hopefully be online this weekend.
