metrokat Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Because of current? I know in still water my acrylic sinks. 3" is tiny! it's a 5G tank! 17 inches width, 11 tall. 3 inch table would be proportionate to the tree. Just finished painting a sky, for the back ground Because of current? I know in still water my acrylic sinks. 3" is tiny! You might be right. 2nd problem is that that red paint would peel off. Looks great Kat! Thanks Dave Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 So I made a painting for the background. Have to remember to remove it for any maintenance. Probably should put it in a frame or something so it's easy to remove and put back. Looks like a stormy day Hi Kat!! I was curious about this and looked online a bit.

So I think this might melt as well. Link to comment

Veng Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 So I made you a table this morning. It's 3" long, apple sauce for scale. It's plastic, so I'm thinking I'll make some epoxy "feet" that you can bury in the sand to hold it down. I've got some red paint that should stick to it as well. What do you think? Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I can't believe you made that. Oh wow!!! Link to comment

Muraki Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wow, look at what Veng made for me!!! Getting all the hook ups on this tank. : ) Looks great Veng! Which paint do you use that is reef safe once dry? Just curious. Link to comment

RollaJase Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That table is just the cutest. Really digging the new scape Kat, and the new toys . Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Lowered the height on the tree by switching out the rock underneath with a shelf. Removed one of the bigger rocks from the right side also. The white picket fence needs another spot maybe. Next bit of work I do will be on the tree. Some branches broke off and I have more to glue on. Don't be hatin' on my water spots. Cleaned out the skimmer and put on a longer tube for the waste. Evap is pretty significant in the tank. I have a small fan blowing to keep the temperature reasonable. Keeping the lid on raises the temperature too much so I can't use that to help with the evap. Have been thinking of doing a timed ATO but a gravit drip would be bette, if I can somehow fashion one like Nano-Sapens' hamster bottle ATO. Link to comment

charnelhouse Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Curious about paint in a tank. What kind do you use that won't bleed toxic crap into the water? (not trying to poop on the party, just very curious)... Link to comment
