LongPig Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 After having to shut down my 93 gallon cube due to some health issues I decided to slowly start putting together a 40 breeder. Picked up the tank at Petco for $40. I always seemed to have extra parts after every tank I started so I put them to good use and started the tank this week. Drilled all four holes in about half an hour. I'm helping my son (Criley7) set up his Radion lit 60 cube this weekend which I'm sure will outshine (no pun intended) my humble little system.Current Equipment:2 850 GPH Korallias 1 MJ 900 1 MJ 600 1 Tunze 60152 Glass Holes 300 gph overflows2 Glass Holes 3/4" returnsMag 5 return pumpSWC 120 cone skimmer250 watt titanium heater20 long center return sumpJBJ ATOReef Breeders Photon 24Current Fish & Invert List: 1 Randall's Shrimp Goby 1 Randall's Pistol Shrimp 1 Banggai Cardinal 1 Swissguard Basslet 1 Orange Erectus Seahorse (male) 3 Peppermint Shrimp 3 Emerald Crabs 2 Porcelain CrabsUpdated FTS as of 9/25/13 Link to comment

FlCandy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Looks SIik! Criley is your kid! Cool, making it a family affair! Link to comment
LongPig Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 For $40 they can't be beat. Looks SIik! Criley is your kid! Cool, making it a family affair! Yeah he's my son. He's done his fair share of tank maintenance over all my years of salt water keeping and now I can pay him back by helping him set up his own. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 You know you're OG status when you just have mp10's lying around. Look forward to seeing both tanks come together. Link to comment
LongPig Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 You know you're OG status when you just have mp10's lying around. Look forward to seeing both tanks come together. Ha! yes. Only because I cut them apart to use them on thick glass and couldn't sell them. Link to comment
LongPig Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Since I started with cured rock and live sand I added a couple of new guys today. Yasha Haze (his shrimp is hiding) ORA Yellow Assessor Link to comment
LongPig Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 That Yasha. I actually have a pair now along with a pair of pistols. Link to comment
LongPig Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Alright so I thought my Yasha died so I bought a pair two days ago. Well it seems I now have three Yasha Hazes and three Randall's Pistol Shrimp. I'm overrun! Also can anyone suggest another fish for me to add eventually. I've been thinking about a White Cap Goby or a Yellow Bar Hogfish. I currently have a Yellow Fin Flasher Wrasse, a Yellow Assessor, three Yasha's and a Green Banded Goby. Link to comment

Look who stopped by, why did I think ink would spark your interest Brad? We get some crazy requests and believe it or not they usually aren't from drunks. One time a guy asked for a tattoo of a merman with a thought bubble and inside the thought bubble he wanted a mermaid with a thought bubble and inside her thought bubble he wanted a merman. Deckoz: check us out on facebook.com/highrollerstattoo. We're an all custom shop. Oh and while we're at it look at post #13 in this thread and give me some suggestions. No clowns! 1 Link to comment
