Time for ANOTHER tank to enter my home :)

[Ice]

Awesome ! I'm still jealous ! LOL !!!

[CollegeReefer]

They had a very beautiful tank. I am sure that was the centerpeice of there home. good luck with the movie. how much water are you saving from there tank?

[Reefneck]

All of it!

[mr.dark-saint]

Good deal. I'd move a few things though. The Sun Coral (Tubastrea) should be in a dark spot. That brown SPS on higher ground to best utilize the tubes (light that is). Then the Flowerpot (Goniopora) on a more stable location (had so many of them catch a good bit of water or fish and find them on the sand all jacked up). One last thing place the Short Tenticle Plate coral on sand (since they do dives off the rocks and end up like the Gonioporas. But all in all very nice,

[Reefneck]

Thanks for the advice. I am aware of what should be placed where. This is where the previous owner had placed things. All will be removed for the tank move and replaced properly when set back up in my home. Might be doing it this Saturday instead of Tuesday now.

Sits pondering :

1) where the heck to put a 120g in our small home

2) is the flooring going to support the weight of all these tanks and water volume?

3) where the heck she's going to find the time and energy to reaquascape another tank with 2 toddlers running around her feet?

4) should she give Keri a whack on the head so he'll stop getting anymore tanks!!!!

[Reefneck]

Hey Honey,
I just got offered a heck of a deal on a 210G with stand. It's fish only though......No Reef.

2) is the flooring going to support the weight of all these tanks and water volume? One could sell furniture to free up some weight issues.

3) where the heck she's going to find the time and energy to reaquascape another tank with 2 toddlers running around her feet? A roll of Duct-Tape and the closet for a "time out" (that should give you plenty of time).

4) should she give Keri a whack on the head so he'll stop getting anymore tanks!!!! I ain't no Barristar but I'm pretty sure that would qualify for premeditation.

Reefneck - Just tell her you'll condense the tanks in to the 210.

[ReefNeckWidow]

Oh, you're a big help Dark Saint!!!

[christianjock07]

My floor will support it! Send one of the 75's over here. But both of you have to come help set it up.


Howdy Keri and Louise! My first post here.

You know as well as we all do its just a matter of time before it becomes a reef.

[Reefneck]

LOL, Probably. Truth be told, The 210 would go through my floor so I passed on it but the 120 arrives today! WooHoo!!

[Reefneck]

The 120 is here! Setup and running for the night without the canopy on it because I am too tired to wire the Halides and T5's tonight. Just sat a 2X65W PC fixture on it so we can see to work in it. Nice to have things just laying around.

Anyway, Here is the first few pics of it in my home and running. Aquascaping still needs to be done as well as the lighting. So far so good though.

[Reefneck]

[christianjock07]

Glad I could help getting it there, can't wait to see picks once you have the lights back on and everything landscaped. I'll check it out again once I get back from Wisconsin.

I'd put a grill on that powerhead before it sucks someone in. Your Sun Coral looks bad lots of exposed skeleton had a few pop off when they started to look like that. You also might wanna pick up that Frog Spawn or Torch or Hammer (kind a hard to tell all blurry and closed up) off the bottom.

I still say get the 210 and condence you tanks.

You have to realize that the tank just got brought in the door and thrown together to get it up and running. The powerheads are not only not in place but are not plugged in either! A lot of the corals look bad. Stressed from the move across town. And as for the frogspawn frag.....When the tank is so cloudy from just setting it up that you can't see you put things anywhere you can. It was 10:00 at night. We were not worried about aesthetics at the time.

Where is this diamond mine? Reefneck knows if he tells us where hes getting all of these from hes going to start a new goldrush.....or more accurately "reef-rush". Where do you find these things?!?!
