Pics Of My New Tanks!!

I can't believe it is finally happening! I'm back! [smiley=beer.gif]

Here are pics of my new 75 AGA RR that is going to be open top, greenhouse powered (natural sunlight!) and hopefully use natural sea water. You can see San Francisco Bay in some of the pics...



[sub]Is that my finger in the pic? lol![/sub]







[sub]Of course, it had to be cloudy today, jeez. Only for a couple months in the winter is it not sunny. Usually very sunny with temps avg. in the 60's - 70's. This greenhouse faces south.[/sub]




Here are some pics of my 27 hex which will be a farm-raised seahorse tank:

Well Matt, after a VERY long absence, you are back and I'm sure you will not hold back with this tank.  Trust me everyone....  I know Matt and his toys.  

 

[smiley=laugh4.gif] That's funny 'HighOaks.'

Too true. I think I will need some help from Venture Capitalists on this one, know any? heh. heh.

 

Nice setup, I will be interested to see the out come of using natual sunlight in the SFBAY. Are you in San Fran?

;D

I live in the East Bay - Pt. Richmond north of Berkeley.

Lot's of sun over here, more than Berkeley with that dreaded fog and most of San Francisco. We are lucky that way.

Down the road we should trade frags and you could see the tank if you want!

That sounds kewl - I just started trying to convert to mainly SPS, Ill be ready to trade in a few months!

Im in Pleasant HIll!

 

Small world! Keep in touch, we can never know too many people to trade frags with. heh. I got a little bit of work to do first.

Nice ascii fish art! [smiley=thumbs_up.gif]

 

nice tanks. it be interesting to see how u make out with the tank in the green house. but i do have one ? with the heat are u gonna use a chiller incase it gets to hot? other than that seems like a great idea. also i like the hex ive thought about one myself for a seahorse tank if all goes well with it maby eventually ill have to hit ya up for advice.

 

Thanks Karla! [smiley=thumbs_up1.gif]

It really only gets hot here a few days a year. Living right next to the water helps a lot. If I drive 10 miles inland, there is a big difference. Much hotter.

I plan on getting some shade cloth and saving for a chiller for emergencies. The top opens too, which will help.

Well, not much to report while I am making DIY rock, but I thought I would share some sunny day pics. This tank could be a sundial!
