Have you drilled glass before? If not and you are doing this yourself just go very slow and easy. I cracked my first tank I drilled but the second one turned out fine.

Local hardware has panes the same thickness for $2.99 a pop.

The last time i talked to the guy . He told me to let the bit to ALL the werk...

No pressure, just slow and steady. biggrin.gif
Did you drill fast, FAST, or slow?

Hey! Cool new tank, I like your ideas for it. I love aquariums with softies down around the bottom.
pismo_reefer
Thanks Blizzle.... happy.gif


This one is planned out to a "T"....
Livestock, hardware, software, etc. ....

But, I want you all to understand that perfection takes time.
This won't be built overnight.

I used my drill press since it was only a 5.5g tank. The first hole was easy, I just barely put pressure and it went fine. The second hole is the one that cracked because my wife got home and I tried to hurry. Big mistake lol. On the second tank I just went slow and steady. The reason I used the drill press is so I didnt have to worry about starting at an angle and worrying about screwing up too bad.
pismo_reefer
oh yeah... good advice.

I guess this is werth mentioning....


Yesterday, my old Actinic bulb started to flicker, then sizzle, then glow RED. scarry01.gif

I flipped the lights off and took out the bulb, both ends were charred.
A new Actinic was put in its place and, one day later, my cyano is GONE.

I mean GONE! ohmy.gif



* Change yer bulbs kids.

Really cool looking tank, very bright and varied. I like that back left corner with the montis all running together.
pismo_reefer

Killer set-up. Can't wait until the upgrade.

I can't believe I have neglected this post for 3 WHOLE PAGES. You know its my favorite tank!

Monti Island is looking really hot. Any room for a Digitata to round out the monti species? Most are kinda meh, but I saw a really cool strawberry and pink one that was hot once. Definitely Pismo worthy.

Looking forward to watching the 20G progress and yous better let me know what you got for frags available once you are ready biggrin.gif
pismo_reefer
I like digitatas... just never seen a NICE one.

the 20g will have a couple fer sure.

http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productDeta...1422&cid=52 is alright.

I will see if I can try to find a pic of a good one. I agree though, a lot of them just end up looking like single colored pieces with their polyps being the same color at the body. Too bad they don't have the variety of colors like the encrusting supermans, sunsets, etc.

pismo_reefer
that one aint too bad.. biggrin.gif



I like the color....all there is around here is orange and red.

pismo_reefer
The move is coming soon.... I sense it.

I will be setting up a paypal account in the next week,
Which means cheapo frags for everyone!

As soon as my account is up and running, I will post a list in the livestock classifieds,
as well as in the frag tank thread.

Those that have been made promises,
they will soon be fulfilled, (I have what goes to who written down.) wink.gif

...and yes Weets, you will get a good sized, colorful chunk a this favia.
