Blandy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi thinking about getting this tank over here in the UK. Can you please have a picture frenzy and take pics of the tank from afar, ur equipment, different angles of the tank and aslo inside ur cabinet. Tanks looking great and hoping to do the same over here. Thanks Andy Link to comment
Phixion Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm not baller enough yet for a wet band saw... I wish though, I priced some out and I think Sears and Harbor Freight Tools both sell ones that are pretty reasonably priced. None of that Festool bling bling mumbo jumbo, LOL! For me, I just have a good 'ole Dremal with diamond cutoff wheel. Link to comment

For me, I just have a good 'ole Dremal with diamond cutoff wheel. I think the one my friend has is about $150 on e-bay... UPDATE: here's my other pair of Picasso's... getting along really well... almost 4 weeks since I introduced the smaller one... pics aren't the best but I wanted to share anyway... Smaller one Grade A ORA... more than 8 months in the tank... Link to comment
fiction101 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 How long did your radium bulb take to burn in its true colors? Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 How long did your radium bulb take to burn in its true colors? I'm sorry but I don't remember how look it took but I noticed that now the bulb puts out more of a crisp blue white color instead of being on the bluer spectrum... either way, I'm happy with both color... I'm due to replace the bulb in 2-3 months so I guess I'll try to document that burn out period.... it's kinda hard to tell though since I see my tank everyday... Link to comment

pookstreet Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sweet fish Marv. If you are getting a band saw, get the one with the diamond blade only. That's the only one I would recommend. Link to comment

pookstreet Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 How big are they now? Mine seem to grow faster than any clowns I've had before. Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 How big are they now? Mine seem to grow faster than any clowns I've had before. the bigger one I've had since July 2008 and probably 5-6 months old from ORA... the smaller one is about 5 months old... the bigger one is about 1.75"-2" and the smaller one is 1"-1.25"...

I guess if you're only gonna have a pair or two, might as well have the best ones you can get, right?!? the pair above is a really nice Grade A Picasso pair but I love my Snowcasso pair more...

ximmortaldeathx Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 looking good! how do you like your light bulb? does it bring out more the colors of your zoos? where did you get your clown from? Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 looking good! how do you like your light bulb? does it bring out more the colors of your zoos? where did you get your clown from? I like the 20k Radiums a lot... the only other bulb I'll probably use with this set up is 14k Phoenix... I plan on trying the Phoenix again when it's time to change bulbs... but ofcourse, I'll have a new 20k Radium too, just in case I don't like the Phoenix... pm sent about the clowns... Link to comment
