What to do while 3Reef is down?

Why.....set up another tank ofcourse;D It's a 10 gallon with a Marineland Penguin 100 and 50w heater.

I decided to go with Black reef sand. I know there is a lot of "metals" in this sand but I always wanted a nano tank w/ Black sand. IT'S SEXY:

After almost 2 hrs of sifting through the sand with a BIG magnet to pull out as much metals as possible.......I called it quits and just dumped it in







I'm still waiting for my lighting to come in:-/

 

Nice dude. Amazing the money we spend, and what we spend it on, when there is downtime!!!!! The last time my wife went out of town I set up a 10g nano as well. K+ to ya!!!

 

Thanks John! I did while my wife and kids were sleeping. I knew she wasn't too happy when I was awakened by a loud WTF! Lol! I have officially reached my aquarium limit in our apartment.

Having a 75g reef, a 10g reef, a 48g frag system and a 10g fresh........is kind of pushing it in an apartment Lol! I had to promise that I was done for now!

 

I work for a home builder I can set you up with a nice tension slab house with a really open floor plan to fit maximum tankage

 

Key words............for now!!!! Hey man, there are worse things we can spend our money on.

 

Sounds like a plan lol!

I've already used that excuse......too many times

 

good on ya! i'm setting up a 10g "display" refugium in my new stand, love all the little creatures you can keep and actually watch... in the larger tank i just seem to never see the little guys.. 10g is much easier to keep track of things in

 

Looks good JohnnyBoy, doesnt look like a 10g from the pics, looks much bigger. You are pushing the envelope, your gonna find your tanks outside one day.......lmao. Luna

Back to the reason of the post, I find myself giving attention to my wife and kids......lmao

 

looks good I like the sand

 

Compared to what I was spending on astronomy ...saltwater is a deal. And it's always there for me to look at. hehe
All the fun stuff cost $$$$.
