From biocube to a 65 G with underwater sculptures

I hope you don't abandon salt water altogether. You're ideas are truly inspirational!

Sorry for all your troubles basile :-/

 

This is insperational. I am makeing the same move...BC14 to 65g.

 

Thanks, no i'm not giving up, but putting on hold for a bit. Finances are down and credit is not possible these days. So until then. I'll store everything and when ready again will start all over. In the mean time , i'll be reading and learning learning , learning , lol .

 

I just read through this entire 23 page thread, post by post. You gave me some great rock-work ideas that I'll try to incorporate into a tank I'll be building next September, when I move. Thank you!

I'm really sorry to hear about all of the losses, on the bright side you must have learned a lot from this ordeal, and probably became a better aquarist

I have a question though- I noticed you used a Tee on each overflow with an open end facing up. I've seen this several times before, but have never asked why it is done. Do you know the reasoning behind it?

 

The end

Well its the END of the road for me guys. I lost the tank; $ 1 200 worth of corals and the $ 2 800 of damages...... too much for my budget. The decision was made in May but until now i couldn't face it and tear down my set up. I let sit for the summer and let the emotion past. You don't invest yourself in a project like this without emotion or money. And both cost me dearly. So until now, i did nothing. Just sold some of my stuff this weekend, for bits, still got some stuff to sell, at a lost of course but now its no longer a question of money its a question of moving on and cleaning up the place. As an example; i sold my GHL controllers valued at $ 1200 for both for only $ 500 with only 4 months use outch. My drilled 65G tank with a coast to coast and all the pluming , stand, and 29 G sump for $ 250, quite a deal hey lol. Got to take it like man, and laugh about it. If anybody is from Ottawa, Canada, you can call me 819-684-6620 for more details. Got 2 Vortech MP40 powerheads valued $ 1000, for $ 700 the pair. Ok well this should be my last post, i'll miss this place had lost of great time on the site and good conversations and exchanged. God's be!

 

basile

sorry to hear about your troubles and that its put you out of the hobby
might be worth putting an add in the for sale forum
as hopefully more people from Ottawa, Canada would spot it on there

Steve

 

Thanks , yes already done that and sold for $ 800 worth of stuff, just covering all the bases, by posting here as well. Some people are interested about the MP40 as well so looking good too.

 

This is awesome! I want to try build a rock structure like that. Great job. Looks great.
