FlCandy Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 So excited about the new coral I am trying to find the energy to clean the house while I wait! Hmmmmm Dishes vacuum and mop, then grocery shop if I get time..... Oh I will also have more pics of the stand build this weekend. We should be finishing it this weekend! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You have spoiled us with the frequent pic dump! Yes, we want to see the stand!!! When I made the stand for my 65 gal african tank, I made it six inches wider all around. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 You have spoiled us with the frequent pic dump! Yes, we want to see the stand!!! When I made the stand for my 65 gal african tank, I made it six inches wider all around. Yeah it's 48" long, and 28" wide. The height was decided by A and it is WAY taller then what I wanted but the tank will be at eye level now. Soon I promise. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That stand has perfect dimentions! It will be nice to have an area to put your beer and a shot while you're watching the tank. Also, sounds like it might be bar stool height! Link to comment

FlCandy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 So here is the Dump Left side Right side with the new Pearlberry thanks to Tron! Still Slimy, but lights were going out in 30 minutes, all polyps are out now and slime is all gone. I like the new placement. Totally Sex! A few branches were accidentally snapped but they were easily glued down along the base! New FTS with TONS of microbubbles, this from gluing frags down. Pleased, good day. Thanks for the berry Tron its' Hot. Let me know next time when you get a evening off, A and I will come down and chill. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 This tank basically just exploded. Like for a while, it was on the same level as my tank and other decent tank's but you're gaining momentum and going to be hitting totm quality soon. Link to comment
gena Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I totally agree with Joel. Randi...you have the magic touch with reef keeping. I can't wait to see this set up in the 40 breeder. How much less height will you have with the 40B? This has been one of my favorite tanks for awhile now. It's gorgeous! Link to comment

Like for a while, it was on the same level as my tank and other decent tank's but you're gaining momentum and going to be hitting totm quality soon. Thanks so much! I am flattered, as this is my first reef tank attempt I am pretty impressed with myself. And the Tron corals really made a HUGE difference! It wouldn't look this way without him! I totally agree with Joel. Randi...you have the magic touch with reef keeping. I can't wait to see this set up in the 40 breeder. How much less height will you have with the 40B? This has been one of my favorite tanks for awhile now. It's gorgeous! I am truly flattered by you guys, I love my tank but I don't think it is anywhere near TOTM for at least a year from now. I need some growout first. I will be going from 36x16.5x24 to 36x18x18. So the lights will be WAY closer to the corals so better penetration (guys behave) and more depth so I will have more sand bed. I am thinking about going with the regular 40# LS in the 40B and running a DSB in the Fuge. Say close to 4" deep, 15 mangroves or so and a TON a Macro with a damsel or 2 and a shrimp. Stand WILL be completed this weekend. Thanks you guys, needed a smile the last case of the day was pretty grim, didn't look good for the old dog and I can't stop thinking about the poor old guy.

JoelRHale Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Gotta love better penetration. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Need mangroves? I have a ton if you want. Link to comment
