Tropi Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 A little crowded, but will hopefully be getting a bigger tank in a couple months maybe less. Got a couple new peices of Live rock.

Tropi Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nemy Junior got sucked into the filter intake, some of his tenticles and mouth was in there for any where up to two and a half hours. I straight away turned everything off, took him out the tank and in a panic removed him from it while in a different container, after some searching I've found out that I should have waited to see if he would come out on his own I've put together a makeshift hospital tub (don't have a QT) I have an air stone running for flow. I hope he makes it. Does any one know if their mouths can heal if damaged? Link to comment
Tropi Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 He has attached his foot to the rock now and moved up it closer to the air stone, hopefully that's a good sign. Link to comment
Tropi Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hey guys, it's been forever since I updated. The tank has been going well and after waiting 7 weeks for my custom tank and sump to be ready I was finally able to pick it up around a couple of weeks ago The tank is 36x18x24 inches, 40mm hole drilled for the overflow and 25mm for the return. The holes and the sump they did, since I don't really know much about all that, so I'm hoping nothing is wrong with the way it's been done. The sump is _x14x14 inches, sorry can't remember the length right now. Here's the stand that they strengthened for me but I have been very iffy about using it and as has my dad and some members on ultimate reef, one of which linked me to a youtube video for building your own stand, so I'm scrapping this stand for now and have been having a go at making my own. Will post pics of where I'm up to on the stand later. Link to comment
Tropi Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 stand progress so far, though I have since found out that using treated wood isn't the best choice so I'm hoping it will still be ok. the wood all cut, I'm making it 80cm tall top and bottom frame Here's where I'm up to now, I've got some 12mm marine ply to put on top Link to comment
jolee0722 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Awesome build! Can't wait to see how the stand works. It looks like the diy stand that uarujoey posted on his channel. Link to comment

Thanks and yep, it's from that video, he makes it look so easy after a bit of research it looks like a lot of people use the same design and say it's overkill. Figured that was exactly what I wanted, I'm so paranoid about a stand not holding the weight, it's the biggest tank I've ever had Link to comment
patriot Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great tank so far man! Really interesting to ready the ups and downs of your tank. From what I can ready you have a really well cycling tank, good job bro. Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sweet new tank! That stand would hold a 1000 gallon tank \ Overflow hole seems high to me, but might be the angle... Link to comment
