GoToSleep's 700g Build Thread (& complete remodel)

How many people need scaffolding to do their aquascaping....

This tank is really something else....

A scaffold? That is awesome...

And not like i expected anything other than a great plan based on how you have done things up to page 33...but great idea

 

I like the fact that you will be one of the few people that can use the phrase, "Can you gimme a hand with this scaffold? I need to adjust something in my aquarium."

Also btw one of THE nicest setups I have ever seen...whole room included.

 

Sorry for not posting much the past few days but I have been busy to say the least. I tried to be good. I tried to be patient. But the pressure finally got to me. After working like crazy to get my rock on the tank and fill it with water I was at my LFS and the need for instant gratification got to be too much for me. After mulling things over, I figured that between the large water volume and a good strong protein skimmer, I should be able to go ahead with stocking my tank. I realize that I may have to do some more frequent water changes here at the beginning but so far my levels are looking good. I was in the shop close to closing so my LFS owner used his truck to help me get some of this stuff home and that we both worked like crazy to get everything arranged. My wife was actually out of town at a horse show so she didn’t know yet that I was spending over $23,000 on fish and corals. I figured that she would be surprised but maybe shocked is a better word. My calcium reactor isn’t in yet so I think that I’m going to do a bit of supplementing here in the beginning. Hopefully, this isn’t rushing things too much.

Here's a FTS. Sorry that my camera's not too great but I can't afford to upgrade right now. I'll try to get some more pics up in the next day or two but right now I'm just going to sit in front of it and stare.

 

You are so full of poop, your eyes are brown

You've got pretty good coralline growth on those overflows considering you just put water in it

 

Man, I couldn't fool you for even a second. Is that because of your experience dealing with Rodger?

The pic is a not so good shot of the 'small' reef tank at FishWorld. I was busy this weekend though... spent 48 hours at the hospital then came home and got my aquascaping done. I'll get pictures up soon.

I will say that both my wife and eye spent a fair bit of time yesterday afternoon just staring at the glass box full of rocks.

 

:LolLolLol lol nice one GTS..

 

You're so full of poop, your poop is brown!....oh....wait....nevermind.

What were you doing at the hospital, mista?

 

I suspect that he was working seeing as he puts people to sleep for a living

 

I plead the fifth

Have you been to Richmond Aquarium to see the gi-normous reef tank that Roger helped them set up?

 

This weekend was mostly spent stabbing women in the back.



so many babies... so little time.
