This thread sure has seen it's changes! From a ten to 75g then stagnant and now we're back at it again with the new 75g, diy ghost overflow, diy sump! Here's the early on fts! Everything in here came from my 20l I built to hold everything on while I rebuilt this tank top to bottom!

And the start of the original thread begins now!

I started off with this ten then soon stepped it up to a 20L before ultimately settling on the 75.

Some random macro I collected surfing. The hermits made a quick meal of it though. Shame cause it really added some snap to the tank.

Thanks, I just got those today btw off my good buddy glennr1978, one of the best guys I've had the pleasure of dealing with. A role model of sorts in this reefing game. The only guy I know who can convince his wife to let him convert the spare bedroom into his own personal lfs. I went by and checked out his impressive plywood set up and fell in love with that system. Dudes got cans, blasto's softies, sps, and some sick lps like neon hammer coral n lots more. He was talking about becoming a vendor on here, I hope so cause he's worked so hard at the dream. I plan on going back next week and getting some more acans.

 

Love that eye on the snail!
That's actually a shot of my sand sifting conch! I just had to get a pic of it as he was staring me down as I was staring him down.

No I got most my stuff from a local facility and from another member on here that's local to me. He's got a great track record for shipping and recently aquired a ton of good stuff. He's the guy I got my acans from at an unbealievable deal for all four. Glennr1978, look him up if you want quality stuffs for uber cheap.

No man, he's just a member on here but he has had some of the dopest tanks on this this forum. Dudes got some reefing clout and if your looking to stock up he's got whatcha need. I've been meaning to head back over there soon but my work schedule is crazy right now. I think I want more acans, everywhere.

Hit him up, I don't know how he is meeting new people with his wife n kids there. He is a stand up bro and I'm sure you will be able to work something out.

Dude, Glenn, I need some more frags broseph!
I just spent the last 4 hours cleaning and organizing the frag tank. Pulled out all of the racks, hosed em down, vacuumed out all the sh! T off the bottom of the tank, and did a 30g wc in the process. It was a good amount of work but now it looks a lot better. I think our schedules will conflict until saturday (I work every night), but I should be free sunday...all day.

I hate frag plugs. I avoid them whenever possible and use very little glue when they're unavoidable so that the frags are easy to pop off.

That's what I'm afraid of taking on that 150g, maintance was a such a batch in my 30g when I was only pulling 40hr weeks. Now that I'm working 60hrs I just don't know if I want to spend a portion of my only day off cleaning up fish poo! I took this Friday off to take care of some buisiness that had to be handled on a weekday but Sunday after 6 is about the only other time that may work. I want a frag of that yellow hammer and prolly whatever cans I didn't get last time. I accidently double picked the reds one's but they look really in seperate sides of the tank.

Sunday should be good for me...it just depends on what the boss has planned on MY day lol. I've been taking pics all day to start posting on here (probably tomorrow) in the FS section. I've got well over 100 frags I need to move lol.

Your name got thrown out as to having some killer frags. Are you willing to ship them to Washington area? I'm in the process of getting a new tank setup and would love to see what you have.

Sorry I missed you dude, forgot all about fathers day being this Sunday. My girl did do something nice for me though n took me down to the reefshop n said I can pick whatever I wanted so I said bring on some sps. I picked up this really nice blue rimmed montipora cap. Fills out a good portion of the tank for sure.
