Reefin Ric Flair Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hey y'all, Today was the first true day of working on the 20 gallon rimmed tank. Nano Fever swooped in like my knight in shining armor to show me the deal and perforn 99 percent of the work. We hung the rodi filter, flushed the system, and made 5 gallon of saltwater and 5 gallon of rodi water We made a clear net tank cover with a section cut out fit my aqua clear 70 filter We painted the back of the tank with Krylon fusion satin black. Things are moving right along! I'm waiting for my nanobox duo to ship and we also are going to build a DIY skimmer from 3/4" pvc pipe Link to comment
Reefin Ric Flair Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I forgot the best part. I sprayed myself in the neck and face with the spraypaint two days before a huge presentation in front of people who report to the board of directors of a multi-billion dollar per year company. I then scrubbed my face and hand with acetone and now I have a red irritation on my chin that makes me look like an idiotic ventriloquist dummy Link to comment

Reefin Ric Flair Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Went to Williams aquarium this morning. Got a couple zoas for my upcoming tank. Nano Fever is keeping them safe for me in the meantime. He dipped the living hell out if them to get rid of some undesirables but he thinks they will be ok. They had some polyp extension soon after being released into the wild Jason fox blue bliss Jason fox tiki tribes Uca midas Link to comment

Reefin Ric Flair Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 After a damaged shipment from pier 1 I received a replacement and this one was perfect Got a decent bit of room to the sides and back of the tank to accommodate the HOB filter and if I need to set things down Link to comment

Reefin Ric Flair Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I ordered 20 lbs of the cherry primo deco from Live Rock N reef and will be picking it up from the airport on Thursday http://www.liverocknreef.com/liverock/index.php?l=product_detail&p=7920 Got 20 lbs of arag alive pink fiji coming too It is hard to believe that my tank will finally be wet after a couple months of planning. Only downside is I'm still waiting on my light and I hope not having it for a few days doesn't affect the life on the rock Link to comment
NanoFever Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice dude. What time is that rock showing up? I'll bring the beer, you bring the rocks and saltwater! I still got some cALEbeza! Link to comment
