barbianj's stuff Time for a new reef tank

Here's a few updated photos that I liked:





Dendro is up to 13 heads. Here's a new baby popping out.



Re-habbing this chalice for a friend. Eating good so far.

New tank for the triggers and angels. Can't fit an eight foot tank, so this will have to do. Going from a 125 to a 300 Deep Dimension. I won't have time to set it up until work slows down, probably February or March.

 

Just beautiful Jerry. You should charge admission to this thread.;D8)

 

Awesome FTS! that tank is a beast!!!! man that should be a fun project no? I would go nuts with a 300 gallon RR tank like that.

 

Thanks, Vinny. I should charge admission to my house! My 14 year old son had two new friends over on separate days. Both of them asked for a tour of the tanks and were very interested, asking a lot of questions. They even wanted to see the basement sumps. One of the boys told me it was better than going to the public aquarium. Future reefers! ;D

 

Oh, yeah. It will be a lot of planning and work until it's up. I'm thinking about moving the tank they're in to the basement and plumbing it temporarily into the same sump system. That would give me time to set the 300 up without being in a rush. Otherwise, I would have a hard time making up 300 gallons of fresh saltwater in advance.

 

I would have to say your set up is better than most public aquariums. Great looking frags Jerry.

 

I always love seeing updates that you have. They are among the best on here. It is funny how some others have mentioned that your setup is better then some of the local public aquariums, because it is lol. Great job!!!

Oh yeah, it's very cool of you to show your sons friends around. Your son must be proud of you to bring his friends over to see your tanks.

 

Just beautiful Jerry,

I remember when some were little itty bitty, like the war coral and the dendro, and OH MY on the new system.

Acan garden is amazing.

 

Thank you, birthday girl!

You're right, the War coral picture from page one was a year ago. It would be bigger if it had more room to grow!

They actually stopped playing XBox to watch the seahorse eat.

Thanks, Norg. I started out thinking I would grow for trade, but I use it more for rehab, and acclimating new corals so I know what flow and light they light before going in the DT.

 

no pics of the big mamma?
