Arce Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Excited to see your transfer - since I'll be close behind you. How are your Acro's doing? Everythings doing good. My hawkins started RTNing, I tossed it. It was never doing well for me, had alot of issues with it for some reason. Current list of SPS I want: Blue stag Starburst monti Pink BN Mystic monti Efflo Spongodes Setosa Red / Green common montis Ora Green BN SSC Forest fire digi / red digi Ponape BN (Mines RTNing / bleached) There is more but these are the more common ones. 1 Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Found a flatworm today. No idea if its a AEFW or not. Dont see any bite marks but the acro its on was stressed and has had poor PE. I pulled it out and dipped it. Pretty nervous. Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Home Depot. Lowes.They dont have glass. They just have that crappy thin stuff people use for picture frames 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Had the intentions to do a lot today but really didn't get much done. Need to figure out where im getting the glass cut. Then i need to figure out if i need to put the plywood on the top of the stand. Mortar should get here tomorrow but I don't have much time during the week to work on the tank. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 YUSOLAZEE Wasnt so much about being lazy. Not finding the glass set me back alot. Then im being indecisive on the stand so that set me back as well. Those are the two major things right now. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Two high priority items... 1. Sump baffles 2. Plywood stand top After i get those figured out i can move onto the rest... 1. Mortar scape --> rinse rock & sand 2. Drill tank 3. Paint tank back 4. Light hangers I think for the transfer im going to leave the 29 half filled, pull the rocks and put them in a bucket, drain the sump and then move the whole stand out of the location its in since the 40 is going in its place. All coral and fish will stay in the half filled 29. Then once its moved in place i can put the overflow on from the 29, connect the light hangers, then start filling. Then i just have to take everything from the 29 and bam done. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Found a shop to do my glass. Hopefully they cut it good and it fits. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Mortar just came in. Need to decide if my scapes ready to be finalized. 3 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Got the glass today, siliconed the baffles in. A lot harder than i thought it would be... Was a bit sloppy but its not horrid, not like it matters since its the sump anyway. Also got the new return pump, Sicce syncra 2.0. I thought it was going to be too much flow for the 300gph glass holes overflow after the 4 feet head loss but its just right. Wish i went with the bigger one so i could run the reactor off of it but oh well. Might be able to still do the reactor but ill see. 3 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ignore my extremely messy storage room... So this is my planned scape. I have another trick up my sleeve once i mortar it together, but I'm not giving it away till i figure out how I'm going to do it.

D Z Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I dig it! Wonder what the other trick is..... 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I like it. Now mortar it together just like that And your other trick is raising it up slightly, right? 2 Quote Link to comment
