sageblade24 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 It is killing me to wait for this tank to be built... In other news I am working on a smaller tank to replace my tank at work. The tank I currently have at work is basically plastic and beginning to wear down so I will trying my hand at putting together a 18"x12"x12" all glass tank from scratch. Not sure if I want to stay with saltwater or do a planted freshwater at this time. Link to comment

Lol, yeah I could've done freshwater, but I figured I got that covered with my 3000g pond Link to comment

Lol, yeah I could've done freshwater, but I figured I got that covered with my 3000g pond Lol, I have had freshwater my whole life. Only the last couple years have I been able to run a saltwater tank. I wish I had a house >.>. Not only do I love ponds and aquariums I also love landscaping and growing plants. Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Slated to get my tank mid next month from Reef Savvy. Need to finish up my stand until then. Link to comment
namxas Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Looks like it will be an awesome build! Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 It rained all weekend so I couldn't work on the stand much at all. I got a few of the remaining boards cut for the outside. All I have left to do with the stand is: ~ Make Doors ~ Paint structure to prevent wood from soaking up any moisture. ~ Get Quartz for shelf on front. ~ Apply Veneer Link to comment
JDigital Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Gonna be pretty awkward sleeping with a 100G tank on top of your bed! Look forward to watching this build. Link to comment
MarieH Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was going to say, it be cool to sleep under a tank stand looks comfy. Sounds awesome. Link to comment
Giga Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Got the skeleton done for the stand. Is it gonna be a water bed.......................................lol Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 >.< It was easier to takes pictures of the stand on the bed then on the ground. Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 At the moment I am trying to figure out what I want to do for lighting.I am not sure if I want to make my own LED setup (http://www.ledgroupbuy.com Lumia 5.1 or another full spectrum setup)or if I want to purchase something already built (AI or Radion).I am trying to figure out what would cover 36"x36"x18" so I can determine the best possible efficient choice.If you have any suggestions please let me know!

JDigital Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 A GHL Mitra will cover a 40x40 area, but possibly out of your budget? Link to comment

sageblade24 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Any updates on this beast? Reef Savvy has finished the tank and I picked it up last week! I have been so busy though so I haven't been able to take any pictures. Still working on the stand unfortunately. Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This is gonna be awesome! Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 This is pretty much on hold until I can move into a first floor apartment or a house. I am going to try to get this up and running this year. Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Things were tough this year so I am holding this off till next year... Very frustrating to have such a beautiful tank and not being able to start it atleast. Current 29 BioCube growing what will start my custom tank. Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh my that new tank is so smexy. Link to comment
ETucc Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Damn... What an excellent idea for a tank. I've had my brain on a tank with a partial land element for some time now. I love the idea of a tidal ecosystem, where water and land meet. Fascinating! Link to comment
sageblade24 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Oh my that new tank is so smexy. Thanks! Damn... What an excellent idea for a tank. I've had my brain on a tank with a partial land element for some time now. I love the idea of a tidal ecosystem, where water and land meet. Fascinating! I love having a ton of variables to ensure it never bores me. One thing I have noticed is many people tend to build new tanks almost on a yearly basis so I am really trying to ensure this is a means to an end. Link to comment
