Went topless! - Had to show this off!

[VelasCorals]

I couldn't stand the look of the top on the Solana - so off it goes. If they fish want to go carpet surfing, I can't stop them!​

How obvious is it that I'm addicted?​

Alternative Reef! They are a sponsor on R2R. Everyone should have one!

You can and you should stop them because they WILL jump.

It's our responsibility to keep these living creatures alive in our care and should do everything possible to make sure that they thrive.

You should feed them once a week while you're at it.....

Looks great... I would invest in a clear mesh top personally...

Where do you get one for a rimless tank?

 

[Troylee]

MakE one... Acroholic sells the mesh on here and has a sticky in the diy forum I believe just search clear mesh tops here and you will see a bunch... You could utilize the solana stock tabs for the lid and it would still have that clean rimless look and be protected..

 

[georgiadawg]

I made one from the mesh that I got from Achroholic. Works great and is easy to do.

Are you using Ecoxotic's LED system? The colors of your colors look amazing.

Also, what camera and lens are you shooting with? I've been trying to take pictures with my Nikon D60 (18-200mm lens), but can't get good shots.

I did make one with the clear mesh but I have to use the large wood trip top. Looks terrible and defeats the purpose of a rimless tank. I didn't realize so many people didn't like the idea of rimless tank. Rimless tanks look so elegant!

Yep, it's an Ecoxotic with two more modular actinic strips added in for more "pop". Also, the camera is a Canon Rebel T2I with a 18-55mm lens. I usually take a bunch of pictures and just use the best couple.

Don't worry, they all have a new home lined up with a local club members tank. The biggest one is 3" and not planning on keeping any over 4".

I think the tank is beautiful! And yes as you know the tangs will have to be moved in the future as you said. Also I have never covered a tank that didn't have "known" jumping fish.

 

[Brad Syphus]

Any fish can jump, just some more than others. I agree with Ian, you can make a nice looking top . Ian has made himself a real nice top for his rimless tank.

That avatar is hilarious with your comment!

I would like to see some pics Ian. I never dreamed someone with a topless tank would have a cover to be honest. Guess I was wrong!
