kinetic Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 OMFG! You have too many tanks.....Why dont you focus on making one tank really nice... that's what I'm trying to do. this one will be the really nice one. In fact, I only have 2 tanks right now, one that's a holding tank for a scorpionfish temporarily, and a full blown 32g m-tank. Link to comment

proraptor2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why in the heck did you waste money on 1 inch thick acrylic? Thats got to be super expensive Link to comment
kinetic Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why in the heck did you waste money on 1 inch thick acrylic? Thats got to be super expensive why do you waste money on your bike when you can buy a little bycicle with training wheels? There's a reason for 1" thick acrylic, you'll see soon Link to comment
jeremai Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Only one reason I can think of, and it makes me very happy! Link to comment
MJD Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 a mantis. Do those need fuges though??? I hope its not a mantis, I hate them Could you at least tell us what size tank it is? Looks like a 40-60 gallon tank to me. MJD Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 NO ITS NOT A MANTIS!!!! its a coldwater tank!!!!! cant wait to see this thing up!!! AWESOME! Link to comment
kinetic Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 well there's a few reasons, and it's actually not a mantis. the thickness of the walls makes it look smaller than it is. i'll give you guys an update soon Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 hmmmm 75-100g??? thicker acrylic = no condensation am i right!?!? Link to comment
kinetic Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 the thicker the acrylic, the less chance the temperature will reach the outside surface of the tank, thus no condensation, so what you said would make sense. Link to comment
ezcompany Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 the thicker the acrylic, the less chance the temperature will reach the outside surface of the tank, thus no condensation, so what you said would make sense. you must be blessed with money Link to comment

Mickle Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Love the stain on the stand! What the wood and the stain pretty pwease? Link to comment
Izzue Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Awesome 'k' (k= koden or kinetic ) Stand looks great...gonna have a wooden top or open top??? Izzue Link to comment
kinetic Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 thanks, the stand is stained a dark red, and it's made of oak. I wanted a dark cherry look =) The top is totally open top, as you can see it's a braceless / trimless tank (polished edges, rounded corners inside and out). Hanging a pendant as well. The stand is 36" tall, the tank is 22" tall, so about 58" in height total. I have a problem though... I was going to mount 4x tunze 6045's on the back wall, but the backwall is 1"+ thick, and the mag mounts won't hold I think. I may grind 1/4" of it away to mount them... any ideas? Link to comment
