caja Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 As some of you know, I gave up the battle lost to hair algae and a mutant flatworm infestation last week. Wish I'd thought to take a before pic of the condition of the tank, but frankly it was too depressing anyway. So here's the newly renovated 7.5 complete with the ever popular pile-o-rocks. I got the last of the rock in today as well as some very cool stuff from ipsf.com Link to comment
caja Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 And some of you have asked about the 7 minibow. The pic has some major glare from the front window. Link to comment
Gilman Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Caja, I like the stack you have going in the 7.5, but ohmygodwow@your Minibow! Beautiful work. You've got game hon. Can't wait to see how the next incarnation of the 7.5 goes. Gil Link to comment
jojopus Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 vewwy nice caja, i luva de bow. Looks like youre on your way to a sweet tank with the Chris Marks special. If you would like a custom hood built for it lemme know...... Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I like your 'pile-o-rocks' actually . Looks great! I would have liked to see your tank-o-algae too actually to see what you were up against. Regardless, looks like a great start! Link to comment
dickie52 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Caja, Good luck with the new tank. If it comes out half as good as the second picture.....your golden...... Dickie Link to comment

ross76053 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 the dreaded restart. welcome to my world Well-spoken. Amen. Link to comment
caja Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 Heh, Ross and Crak, this is addictive, no? I can't even to begin to think of the $$$ spent on round one, but onward and upward! Ross, post some pics when you are up and running. I'd love to see what you have planned. Link to comment
ross76053 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Ross, post some pics when you are up and running. I'd love to see what you have planned. Yeah, well... this is getting out of hand. First I was going with a 30-gal cube, which is borderline-nano. Then I had decided on a 46 AGA bowfront. Today I'm totally insane and going with a 75-gallon drilled tank, and will build the tank/cabinet myself. I'll probably pick up said tank next week & start building the cabinet the week after. It'll be a long process, & may be six months before I get to the point of adding LR & sand (due to funding). I'll probably post a few pics along the way, but since this site's dedicated to nano-reefs, I'm gonna take it easy. Ross Link to comment
jojopus Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Ross, you do know if you go with a tank THAT large you are no longer welcome here.....lol, j/k.Good luck, I envy you being able to go that large. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 ross, since went with the 26 I feel that I am no longer nano cool so you and I can start our own site. Link to comment
ross76053 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 , copy that. How about: www.algaekickedourass.com ? Link to comment
caja Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 Originally posted by ross76053 [bwww.algaekickedourass.com ? [/b] Can I be an honorary member even though I still have a tiny tank? I am drooling over a 36 aga bowfront that the reef store, so I may be getting into more trouble soon. Link to comment
newbiefishgirl Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 CAJA awsome pic's girl!!! You can tell a lot of time was put into this! I wish you good luck with the 7.5... and no hair algae !!!! Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Great start Caja... I probably need to scrap the 20 and start it fresh, but unless my liverock starts multiplying and creating more, I'm not forkin' over the bucks. I'll keep fightin' the good fight, though. Love the url for the website, Ross. Someone ought to register that, just for the fun of it. Link to comment
ross76053 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Someone ought to register that, just for the fun of it. Ooooh....don't tempt me. It's available. :woot: Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Do it. I'm sure we can all find some pics of what our tanks used to (well, some still do) look like and post the pics in homage. Link to comment
caja Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Do it do it do it do it. But really it wouldn't matter, I didn't take a pic of it. Link to comment
SeaMountain Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Get after it caja! Already I can envision what the stack of LR will look like in a few months... So let me be the first to tell you, "NICELY DONE!!! AND LOOKING GREAT!!!" Link to comment
