JoeD Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Wow nice tank!! Yup... it's built out of 3/8" "scraps"... he builds big tanks for the most part.... Passes the savings on to people that want smaller tanks... I'll post more contact info for him later... he will ship Link to comment

gabe3eb Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Looks good. Pretty similar to what I'm working with perhaps. What are your dimensions? Link to comment
redkneecoral Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 your friend did an outstanding job on your tank. I am really looking forward on future pix of what you had done Link to comment
JoeD Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Looks good. Pretty similar to what I'm working with perhaps. What are your dimensions? 15x15x9, with 12x15 display.... just looked at your thread, and noticed the offset returns... thought about that, curious to see if you are happy with it. My tank is very overbuilt no complaints, I was intending to have a toothed center.... we'll see how the full length overflow works. After my "Jacob is the best shot", tank gets wet. FWIW 2xmj600 for the returns. Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nice. I'm going to try to skimp a little and am getting the 150gph Azoo pumps from DrsFandS. They are about halfprice of other powerheads. Hopefully they hold up. Link to comment
flying_dutchman Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Is the stand going to be the same as in you avatar? Link to comment
JoeD Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Is the stand going to be the same as in you avatar? Sadly, no... this tank is just going to sit on my nightstand... Link to comment

coloradoman25 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Wish I had known about this earlier I would have been in on it for sure. Good luck all I created the most complicated 12 eclipse I could possibly make lol Link to comment
JoeD Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Short story... diatoms (surprise) Not happy with the LR i purchased for the tank... think furniture, and how nice it looked in the big showroom, but when delivered............ Not overly concerned, esp considering the talent in this contest.. I'm just along for the ride.... hoping to have pics worth sharing by weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to all.. Link to comment
JoeD Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Current FTS 11-30-09 The rock on the right is the one I was unhappy with, having added a bit more and rearranged.... not so bad. Have to update prices later, but current equipment is: 2 x mj600 36w nova extreme heater plumbing stuff vinyl to black out the fuge tank acrylic top for fuge area Not very willing or photogenic Needs a name... something epic like THE DESTROYER or scary like Cthulhu..... H.R. Giger inspired? Thoughts appreciated.. Link to comment
