supernip Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 the wait is almost over isnt it? roughly 2 more months left. At least your tank is progressing very nicely. After I added a green Nepthea, my tank's growth has completely stopped. The only thing that grows is the Nepthea itself. You've pretty much got this in the bag as I see no other tanks being updated.

NanoReefer411 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Eric, Sheesh. Nice tank. You are one talented guy with building those nano's! Wow. Eric built me a nice overflow box for my 40g breeder. Looks good too. Very well priced. Great service. I wish you luck. I'll vote for ya. RC is doing a nightly back up right now. So you feed those shrimp your starfish? Poor little babies. Okay, yes I know. I'm a wimp. I know the legs regenerate, I just feel bad for the little guys. Well, I'll be doing the same thing with copepods soon. Guess I'll have to feel sorry for them too. LOL okay sorry. Hey, I see you have a torch (at least that's what I think it is) does it bother any of your other corals? I personally would like to keep a wall hammer in my 40 breeder, but I'm afraid the sweepers might destroy all my other corals. =( I wouldn't want that. I'll have some Candy cane's, Micros, Clams, Pocillopora, Montipora Capricornis, and others. I currently only have about 5 different types of Zoanthids and star polyps. Yes, I finally got the thing running. =) Purchased a new skimmer too. The BM150! So far it kicked my Remora Pro's bootay! Okay Eric, just wanted to touch base and say I'll vote for ya. Love the tank. Can't believe how beautiful it is. I just nodded my head when I saw it because it's gorgeous. Link to comment
Izzue Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Weeeee....Calvin Is blowing some of the RC ppls mind by the size of this tank. I must admitt it does look a LOT larger than what it actually is Izzue Link to comment

There are a lot of sweet tanks still out there and anything can happen come voting time so I'm not betting on anything until the last day of voting, I just wish March 31st would hurry up and get here. LOL That and I wish I knew what the prizes were. Eric,Sheesh. Nice tank. You are one talented guy with building those nano's! Wow. Eric built me a nice overflow box for my 40g breeder.

Thanks for the vote and I added a reply over on RC about the Euphyllia family corals. Weeeee....Calvin Is blowing some of the RC ppls mind by the size of this tank. I must admitt it does look a LOT larger than what it actually is Izzue LOL!!! Thanks Izzue, yeah I had a local reef club meeting at my house yesterday and most thought it was a lot bigger until they saw it in person. I should take a pic some time with my hand filling it up. LOL! Link to comment
Uploadead Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I reckon you'll win it. Will you feed some one the corals a day before the final or something? Link to comment

I should take a pic some time with my hand filling it up. LOL!that's a great idea! some kind of visual size reference so they see how small it really is. or maybe how gigantic you really are! jk great job! Link to comment
mybuickskill6979 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 damn calvin. things are coming along nicely. i will be setting up a pico here pretty soon! while i work on my "DREAM SYSTEM" lol!! but if my final comes to even half as bad @$$ as your tank i'll be a lucky dude!!

Uploadead Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 if the LPS get fed won't they colour up some more for your final photo? How long has that starfish been kept alive for? Why do so many people use CC stars; are they alot hardier? Link to comment
Duncan Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Oh man, I think you have already won the contest, by a truck length. Link to comment

LOL, I'm a really small guy, but I'll try to get a pic taken soon. damn calvin. things are coming along nicely. i will be setting up a pico here pretty soon! while i work on my "DREAM SYSTEM" lol!! but if my final comes to even half as bad @$$ as your tank i'll be a lucky dude!! Thanks bro! if the LPS get fed won't they colour up some more for your final photo? How long has that starfish been kept alive for? Why do so many people use CC stars; are they alot hardier? LPS really need to be fed on going IMO, a last minute feeding I doubt will do much... The star fish was kept alive for about 4 weeks, it's all eaten now though. CC stars are used because they are cheap, it's not a star you want in a reef tank so there isn't a huge demand keeping them cheap. Oh man, I think you have already won the contest, by a truck length. LOL! Maybe on RC, but certainly not here. This is the contest that means the most to me, you guys are the ones who knows what is tough to do and what looks good. I hope I can earn enough of the N-R votes. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 LOL, I'm a really small guy, but I'll try to get a pic taken soon. of the tank, right? i'm kinda worried how you interpreted that. Link to comment
