calvin415 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Wow, 13 more bags? Your going for that no room to grow in look huh? LOL! Kind of, going for the no room to mount or place anything, but still have room for everything to fill in. Figure the contest is about growth so the next 3 months will be about maximizing growth. Can't add anything after 1/15 but there is no mention of removing or fragging. Link to comment

LOL! Yeah get'm good! I use my router on every edge and for routing out the center of the eurobrace... I weld everything with a little overhang and then cut it flush; that way I ensure everything lines up perfectly. Link to comment
mybuickskill6979 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 awesome. not only that but i would thing it makes rounding the edges and smooth them a little easier with a litle over hang. im waiting on a shipment to come in so i can mess around with some glass and save for the tablesaw and the router i can't wait lol. then its on to acrylic baby hehe!!

calvin415 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 can you post a link to a full size FTS? Here's a link to this panoramic pic... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/calv.../Panorama-1.jpg wow that looks great. hows the bangaii doing? Thanks, Bangaii is doing well, eating like a pig. As for the blenny and watchman, they have jumped into the overflow box and I can't get them out. I hope they enjoy their new/boring home. Link to comment
feixjai Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 whats your secret in keeping those bangaiis? i tried keeping them two times already and both were unsuccesful. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 whats your secret in keeping those bangaiis? i tried keeping them two times already and both were unsuccesful. ??? Won't call 6 days a success but not sure what the secret is... I'm just target feeding mine mysis, not hard since he's the only fish in the display. Maybe they just like to be pampered? Don't we all?

Fishfreak218 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Why do you have such yellowish lights? Is it just the pics? besides from that your tank looks really nice, I like the Bangaii Link to comment

Is it just the pics?besides from that your tank looks really nice, I like the Bangaii Thanks, but didn't know they looked yellow? Maybe it's your monitor? Pics and tank both look pretty white to me; the color of the tank is a 50/50 mix of 11k and Actinic... Some of the rocks in the middle have a yellow hue to them, that's just the color of the rock... The sand is white, the coraline is green, red and purple and corals look true color. Link to comment

Not sure what is up with Bangaii's but apparently my luck is no different than everyone else's. The only fish I have left are my blenny and watchman which are in my overflow. Guess I'll trade them in and get some shrimp. Link to comment

It's a lot easier with a great local club helping out and some great LFS's that don't gouge. Link to comment
TEALCOBRA Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah, I definitely know what you mean, I have just recently started getting involved with our local club and my corals in my tank have doubled over the past month, but yet my wallest isnt much thinner... Its a GREAT idea for anyone to try to find a local club and get involved with them. Link to comment
