Should've never trusted you to actually just use a standard aquarium.

haha. this IS the "custom" category, rite? =)

Gangster dimensions.

so since the bott of the "sump" is drilled......doing a little "old school"......I love it.....


good luck to everyone ELSE...LOL....


04 rock on....

Oh no he is going to use the teardrop maxima we are all screwd say it isnt soooooo......

Dennis the Menace, The custom tank is definatly gonna be ILL. Ever since I seen one of those 6g "bookcase" tanks at Petco I've had this dying urge to get one made- Maybe you'll be the kick in the pants to acctually do this. I'm still around. Mostly on RC now though, I'm working on a 40/50 breeder to hopefully be up by valentines day. However, I just bought the bane of all nano-reefs.....A nano cube, so I had to see what you crazy ass kids were doing to these things. It's kind of an interim tank if you will.

But yea, I'm still alive.

Kids are MAD GAY w/ the hate. This is rediculous, ludicrous, and just plain TIRED.

The man is a true reefer, and is always quick to help out someone else. To hate on that, is to hate on your own Father.

Dennis is your dad.

Word.

Sorry to Hijak.

LOL. too funny, man!

I don't hate. I appreciate.

That custom tank was a kick in the pants! The shock value was great.
Finally something in the custom category that's really custom!

damn you Tig!

Now I have to build a Reef One Mini Reef Ready Tank.

I'm gonna go all out...little mini custom cabinet, mini calcium reactor, mini beckett skimmer....


Just kidding. We'll see what I can come up with next. Keep up Tig!

SHOW US ALREADY DAMNIT!!!! you and your daym suspense
Is your site done yet..come on...... just messing, can't way to see what you
have in store. Good luck in the contest also.

Everyone should be afraid very afraid Fear the Tigah!!!

Pff...The Cat's in the bag, I got this competition.

JJ Dennis

I know what he's up to...hehehehe!

tigah, just wanted to say im excited to see how your tank comes along. You were one of the reefers that inspired me to dive into reef tanks! keep up the good work!

i dont think togah TRIES to out-do everyone...its just in his '04 NR genes...

This should be the song everyone else in custom is singing...

I will survive....... HEY, HEY! It took all the strength I had not to fall apart... I used to stay up all night long feelin' sorry for myself....

Sorry, I was listening to that song, as I wrote that. And I still am. Anyways, I imagine some of you will be in that predicament. Telling Tigah to get out of your doors and all.

Thanks for the very nice compliment. =)

You better win, Dennis.. I bet the money of the bulkheads on ya! (j/k)
that thing's coming nice, tigah. Keep up the neat work
btw, did you recieve the letter already?

How's the tank coming along Tigah? Can't wait to see it!!

Come on Tigah an update for all us eager ones ...I need to see something that will just blow me out of the water and inspire me as your NC6 did. That 15 Gallon you have going is inspiring me to setup my 28 bowfront as a reef. I am going to do it basically because I see the beauty coming from your tanks! So update Please!!!

Haha. u guys are gonna give me performance anxiety.

Unfortunately, no updates for today. Still doing the waiting game for parts, supplies, etc.

Somehow I doubt that reef stud.

"reef stud". LOL.

Tigahboy, I was wondering when you would be online. You said you would help me out drilling my little tank earlier and you havn't been on lately....

you da man. i doubt you've ever left a reef unsatisfied

lgreen, where did you getthe :pimp: emoticon?

LOL that's damn funny.

Hmmmm.......

I should enter to represent old folks here(01-02), and to intimidate Tigahboy but..........

Too bad I am really busy cooking something up.

LOL. this sounds like cop out!

Hey, in case yallz have been wondering, He's making a tidepool. Said so in my thread cause I am too!

There! I said it! Your cover's blown T-boy!!!!

Oh noes! The secret is out!

I think he is going to go one step further then your setup and have real wave action (thus the long tank).

You think thats scares me???


THINK AGAIN

It should.. this is the reason why I stayed out of custom (that and no money).

Leave it up to Tigah to replicate the ocean.

I guess... If you say so...

PSYCHE!!!!

I joined so late I am almost team '06. Good luck Tigahboy.

Got my lights today from ccjung at nanocustoms. Thanks, Chris!

23" T5's, baby!






My pvc supplies were also delivered today.

Is that Strawberry Shortcake I see??

see here for origins of strawberry shortcake stools: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...13&#entry404313

(tho gf is now ex)

she left them behind. but they're great for holding up tanks and misc aquarium items. =P

Well they are lovely!

Is she paying rent for storage space?

Whew good thing I didn't decide to pony up for the custom pico contest.
HO T5's... mmmmmmmm..... tasty.

dont worry yosh....I know what dennis is doing and will vouch that you had the idea long ago....

I'm just going to laugh when water goes flying out of the side of his "2.5 fuge" LOL

Nobody has any idea do they?

i can vouch for yosh as well.

Those are sweet dimensions! Can't wait to see progress.

some of us know what he is doing...but if you said the "name" of it here most of the people here would'nt know what we were talkin about...LOL...even though this is'nt something that is a "new concept" I don't think anyone has actualy tried it in a tank this size. that's why I hope it works out like he has tested it to work people will be blown away...sorry if I have said too much Tiagh...

LOL...D Hoff you are totally right.

Im sure it is going to kick ass! I wish I could make a socal run to see the Pico in action!

Tigah, I am so glad you got those lights. I am thinking of putting them on my 28 bowfront when I convert my Nc6 over! Gotta update us on how you like them!! Loooking good man cannot wait to see the final product!!! It came with the bulbs correcT?

Indeed. Prototype has already been made out of two 2.5AGA's. And I let it run for at least 24 hours w/o any probs. So it's application to the custom pico w/ a few extra modifications should be fine (i hope).


Bulbs were included. I might replace them w/ other t5 bulbs, but will wait and see how the stock bulbs look over the tank first.

how many bulbs are in there, 6? or is that just the reflection off the reflectors?
also, how much does a light setup like that cost? im in the lighting market for my 29g now, and its either 250w MH, or some VHO
