Awesome piece David. Premium is out of reef flakes? What sucks is they are the only ones who sell it. I will check to see if they have any tomorrow for you they are my LFS.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it!!!

 

Yes, yes they are! They said it would be the end of this month at the earliest... Or it could be the first or second week of May!!! :angry:

That's a really nice looking piece of VidaRock! Makes me wish I had gone with something pre-formed instead of relying on my (lacking) artistic ability. What livestock are you planning?

i love cerameco plugs! your piece looks sick. how do you like the solana?

 

Thanks! I've always loved the Solana!

 

YES. Looks great! That is going to make an awesome scape.

 

Also, the house looks pretty cool too B)

 

Thanks, Jacob!

Wow that looks great!

 

If you are in a hurry you might try Caribsea Seaflor Special Grade Reefsand and maybe mix in some sugarsand with it.

For what it's worth, I ordered the Tropic Eden Miniflakes from PA (since Reeflakes were out of stock, like you said) and I'm really happy with the substrate. One bag seemed to fill my Solana just right (assuming you want enough substrate for a jawfish, pistol shrimp, etc)

No reef flakes my friend. Jeremy said around the 10th of May. :(

 

Yet you wouldn't pickup my stuff. Asshole.

 

Good to see aqua-tecture is shipping. Their site had been down for several months.

Thanks for the advice! Hmmm... Jawfish might be nice!

Dave I'm excited for you bro! Looking awesome!

Just so you know, I ended up buying a VidaRock centerpiece and frag rack today for my Solana. Something something flattery?

Awesome! I look forward to seeing yours!

The black plexi arrived. I'll be cutting that to size, and attaching it to the back wall. I want the back wall clean, and to stay black! This should help with that!

 

Also pulled the trigger on a used MP10w ES! Thanks, reefriot!

Can't wait to see how you cut and put it on the back. I really hated the back wall of the original solana, it was so hard to clean

Yeah, me too... Should be interesting to say the least. Hopefully I don't eff things up!

 

Whoop! Looking forward to it!

 

Thanks man!
