180 Up and Running (Downgraded to 90 Gallon)!

I think he is coming in tomorrow last we heard he was in Pa just out side Pittsburgh . But the boss may have heard from him since lastnight ?

 

Nope, no new word yet but maybe I'll hear from him when he gets off the road tonight.

 

Eh close enough

Tangster, I thought you hated the look of plugs...cmon now, CC doesnt work as a substitute, its still a frag plug

 

I do dislike the looks of any of them.. But the flat round or square ones look better then the bullet shaped tall ones.. I like it when i can't even see rocks I dislike them also I run my tanks for corals and a few fish not rocks LOL

I have been playing with a vacuum machine and fiberglass matting and resign trying to get a good look of real rocks and if we get that looking good then screw rocks.
But thats on the back burner now as I'm building two 40 gallon custom shaped acrylic tanks . the fun never stops..

 

Pipefish tank or a mantis tank

Use a dremel and a drill on some LR. Drill your existing LR (if you can get it out that is) and get some rigid plastic hose (like feeding sticks). Epoxy the hose onto your little LR frag and it will slide right into your hole

 

to much trouble for me .. I use tee and some tubing at work for the frags I pick mine and allow them to all but cover the ceramic squares before I bring them home as a rule in a month or two they are covered and going onto the main rock.. I seldom put my hands in a tank at home. After playing with corals and lighting system and pump and everything aquariumcoral related all day at a job when I get home its the last thing I want to do.. Amcarrig /boss does all the inside tank work here LOL

 

He just rolled into town a few hours ago

 

What a difference 4 months makes...especially when it comes to the gigas clam! Here are the pics from April:

And today:

 

And a few macro shots for fun
