I follow him on instagram and these tanks were taken down awhile ago, but there's still some great content being posted!

I figured something might have happened. I came in here after he posted a picture of his tank in some threads.

Wow that tank looks incredible!!! I am starting up the same tank, and I love your set up. I hope you don't mind me asking but does the light cover the whole tank? And what custom mount did you use? Thanks and keep on rocking it!

Sorry, I haven't checked this thread in awhile. Unfortunately, these tanks have been taken down because I moved to another state and couldn't take the livestock with me. The light did cover the whole tank though.

What lighting type does the mangrove receive? Beautiful tanks.

I didn't supplement any additional lights over the mangroves when I had this tank (though I should've). Working on a new project and will hopefully get a legit mangrove set-up going.

I know, I suck at posting here. I'm not even going to attempt to keep a proper thread of my own. Will just post from time to time in other threads. LOL.

Love these tanks mate and your insta page is awesome too!! Shame they've been taken down but hopefully you'll be back again soon!!

I should also mention that the planted UNS is an absolute dream too!! I'm aiming to do something similar in future on a larger scale to house dwarf sized predators!!

Thank you! Glad you like the new one as well. I think that would be a cool dwarf predator tank.

I am in the planning stages for a new reef project, but been a bit slow going. Stay tuned!

Nice tank! When looking for aquascape ideas for my IM 20 peninsula I saw your tank and saved the picture a couple times XD I absolutely LOVE it.
Question: Have you ever had problems with the return nozzle blowing air bubbles? I just got mine today and it’s doing that and I don’t wanna annoy my corals with it

Thanks! I really enjoyed this tank when it was up and running. I do get a kick out of seeing it on IM's website and banners though from time to time (see below). I don't recall any air bubbles. I'm sure it will break in and you won't see it anymore.

Daaannnggg!!! And that aquascape, do you have a process for coming up with them? Mine typically just look mismatched and like rubble. Yours seem to fit together

Hmmm. This is hard to answer. I try to go for things that look "natural" to me. So I don't bother with crazy arches, overhangs, floating elements, stuff like that. Just let the rocks naturally rest on the floor of the tank and on each other. I was going for a mountain range for this one. Also been into drawing inspiration from freshwater planted tank scapes.
