Avon Barksdale Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 how long have you had that BTA? about 2 months..... Thanks again guys.....Yeah the RBTA is my favorite....Last night I seen the sexy shrimp right by its mouth....I thought it was a wrap on the sexy but....I seen it today picking at my zoos....LOL Link to comment
Avon Barksdale Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Its a been a minute....So here a few more pics. I still suck at taking pics and aquascaping and placement of coral. But I got over it pretty quickly... See the sexy......My Fish dont even look at it but the sexy is steady in there..wtf... And thats it...Ill I can say is that a mixed reef is a P.I.T.A and you either got or you dont when it comes to aquascaping and I unfortunately Im not blessed with the skill.. Oh and why did I ever get GSP's... Until next time.. Link to comment

Dakota569 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Very nice man . Love all the variety of color... Link to comment
Avon Barksdale Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for the support bollinger and dakota.....Its all done now...Thank God!!!! First off I would like to say that my aquapod was my first saltwater tank and it was a humbling experience...(hence the title of thread).... I had some good and crazy times with it.....I got it back in the summer of 06...Even till this day I could never get the placement of corals nor the scape to look as nice as some of these awesome tanks on the site...But like I said I got over it....and It had its own unique cluttered look...lol...But it did its job and I was a proud owner of Saltwater Tank..So I just wanted to say R.I.P. to the aquapod even though sometimes you could be a big biatch!!!!! So back to my upgrade.....I ended up upgrading to a 50 gallon Oceanic, the dimensions are (30x18x21).....My fixture is 30" 250 (14k) MH sunpod. I was hoping to score a 6 bulb T5 fixture but couldn't find one that would fit....If anyone knows where to purchase a 30" fixture please drop me a line. Also Im still going to keep the Remora Skimmer I decided to go with HOB fuge cause I got it nearly for free.. I liked the look of the Phoenix 14k on my aquapod but I might try 20k bulb this time around but not sure. It seems to be a pretty tall tank and my rock seems to be a lil on the short side...but I dont want to stack or acrylic rod any new pieces so Its going to look a lil on the funky side but Its ok... Everything seem to transfer ok..But my purple rim cap looks a lil stressed but It might just be me... Ill try to post some pics up tomorrow with the light on.....and change the thread to The Franklin Terrace housing project 50 gallon.....for The Wire folks...like Bollinger and Mercuryne....lol But Thanks again aquapod...and to anybody that read this thread!!!
