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

Pinkbar Goby (Cryptocentrus aurora) is a shrimp goby, he hust hasn't realized that the same pistol shrimp that he shared a burrow with at the LFS is in the same tank that he is.

 

damn man sorry to hear you had a hard time getting those corals placed. I thought that looked like it would be tough

 

You might want to try to make your own version of a grabber to better suit you. I'm thinking more of a tray.

 

Post a vid lol it will look so much better.... I didn't see the hermits.. Where are they?
This tank is geting better and better.

 

I'm getting really good service here in Richmond. One of the members of the local reef club was looking to sell his Current Nova Extreme Current USA Nova Extreme 2 Bulb T5 HO 10K/460nm Marine and I still didn't have any lights for my fuge so he delivered it to me at work tonight (thanks Abram).
A simple clip on light with a flood light designed for plants will do the trick. Get it all at Home Depot for about $15. It will be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. Run it at night on the timer with your moonlights. This how it looks. So easy.

 

I have an idea for a grabber. I remember when I worked at a movie house and they had a wooden stick with a round grabber that pulled light bulbs out or onto the marque. They may have graduated to hard plastic by now as it was too many years ago that I care to mention. Maybe something along those lines.
Funny I just bought a small bunch of beautiful red mushrooms that look just like yours.
Here's a cool idea below for a frag rack. It might give you some ideas for introducing corals on a bigger scale.

 

Chevron tangs are a ctenochaetus tang (bristletooth) and will do a great job of being a colorful reef janitor. Unfortunately they don't keep their amazing juvenile coloration when they reach adulthood, and turn into a very dull and drab fish when full grown. These are from Hawaii, and are pricey due to where they are from due to collection limits.

Nice fish though, I have yet to see one go for under $125.

 

While it's true that the adults are no where near as colorful as the jueveniles, I really like the looks of the adults too. My LFS has an abult in their 1200 and he catches my eye everytime I'm in there. Then again, I love tangs in general and I'm one of those that think that the black tangs are beautiful. As too price, it's really tough for the fish stores to get ahold of these guys and so supply and demand definately come into play. He'll probably wind up being the most expensive fish in the tank well over $200. It still makes me nervous spending more than $50 on a fish.

 

PC's are cheaper than Macs. This is a fact, not a matter of opinion. The standard mac does not have as many features as a top of the line pc.

Computers dont "seem" cheaper. They are cheaper because they have a different set of features on them.

As far as the upgrades, thats upto you, if you need the features, they are optional. You are not forced to buy everything like on a mac. Plus you dont have to pay the price premium for design.

They are not giving away free stuff at the apple store. You paid 3 times the value of your mac book. So they give you $100 for an iPod and Printer.
The $100 is what it costs apple. Its not the retail consumer value.

With giving you "free" stuff, they are actually spending money to increase consumer surplus and to make sure you will make a trip back to the apple store in the future.

 

If you really want to continue to argue this make a new thread and get out of GTS's not fair to him and thank you for Ignoring it K+ to you.
