SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

Thanks, how sweet but my tank is only 36". It'd fit my bigger tank but I won't finish that till after Oct. (my vacation is at the end of Sept./ beg. of Oct.)

Thanks.

I got the return pump and got musch of the plumbing done but am shy one fitting. So off to the hardware store today. I still need to get the baffles cut for the sump but can't get that done till the weekend so....
I also need to go get more water too....:-/

Here's a sneak peek

 

Looking good, congrats on getting closer.

 

Thanks.

I finished it last night.
Just need to get baffles cut and put into the sump.

I also really need cheap but decent lights, am using 2 twisty 6500k bulbs in reflectors and an actinic T6 light (was 2 but one ballast isn't working).
I was thinking I could get 2 new ballasts and a set of T5 size connectors and upgrade it (since I have 2 T5 bullbs, still new).

When the GHA goes away I'll redo the rockwork, and put the rubble into the return section of the sump. Oh and the slots in the stand aren't neat since I couldn't find my jigsaw. I'll clean it up when I move, but it's not like anyone will really see it especially after I get the door done.

Cool.
I hate GHA.

 

Whats up with the GHA? should have scrubbed that off. jmo : )

 

I did a full maint cleaning on my nano Tuesday night. I cleaned the tank and all equipment and enlisted the Mrs. scrub the live rock with a Tbrush in the water change water, worked great. GHA is 98% gone... I love her ;D

 

Yeah I transfered late at night no time to scrub, so will need to do that.
Fun fun :-/

With any luck I can get baffels cut this weekend and siliconed in.

I may need a smaller return pump, the gph is way more flow than anticipated but then again if I keep it then I won't need to put the 2nd PH in.

 

..true about the PH..Less in the tank is a bonus ! ; )..did'nt mean to preach on the GHA.. ...its always something !! Great work ..looking fantastic. : )

 

Besides I have a good use for it now, my ducks love it. ;D

I went to the LFS to get some filter socks and some clean up crewand came home w/ a cute little fire fish, who promptly made it's way to the sump, via the overflow....silly thing.

 

My friend brought me a new addition.....an LTA

Hopefully it survives.... It went in and stuck to the first rock it came in contact with. So far all it did was move down to between the two rocks...with any luck it stays there.

Sorry for the dirty glass and less than stellar cell phone pictures.
