Xytrix01 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Wow. I'm really sad to see it go. This really was one of the top tanks that inspired me to go after the 40 breeder, and I'll still be using this thread as a reference during my build. Good luck with everything, and hope to see you again real soon with another wonderful setup. Thank you for your inspiration TJ. Don't be a stranger here just because you no longer have your tank. -Justin Link to comment

thapatient Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 so is the new owner going to appear on this thread to reveal who will continue TJ's legacy of a tank? Link to comment
Smurf Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I really feel the loss.. This was one of my inspirations to strive higher in reefing. Take care Tj, I really wanna see the next person to take your throne. Huge shoes to fill.. HUGE Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 daaaayum!!! 3g's, not bad. i see people in my area selling tanks for pennies on the dollar all the time. Is your tank going to a good home? I believe it is going to a great home . The couple who picked it up are great people, and really seem to have their heart in the hobby. I am glad that I found someone to pick up the whole system who really can appreciate the effort I have put into it. so is the new owner going to appear on this thread to reveal who will continue TJ's legacy of a tank? I hope so! From our conversation last night when they picked up the tank, it sounded like they would start a thread with some pics of how PACKED the pickup truck was when they left!!! I really feel the loss.. This was one of my inspirations to strive higher in reefing. Take care Tj, I really wanna see the next person to take your throne. Huge shoes to fill.. HUGE All of you are too kind. I really appreciate all the recognition I am getting for this system. I am actually very honored - probably just as much as I would be receiving TOTM. Even though my tank was never plastered picture first on the homepage of the website, you guys really make me feel like I did something truly great with my tank I wish you all the best in your reefing endeavors, and will probably be sticking around to keep watchful eye on the growth of all your systems!

Yours and Uhurus old 40b are by far the best I've ever seen. My goal with my tank is to just try to get it looking close to as nice as yours. I've got quite a task ahead of me..... Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I say that you her honorary tank of the month. You'd have to use old pics, but I say you deserve it! Link to comment
NanoCube-boy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Where did you buy the egg crates? do you wear gears to protect yourself when fragging zoanthids or paly? good job. great tools. Can you explaIN WHAT YOU USED TO FRAG? Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Where did you buy the egg crates? do you wear gears to protect yourself when fragging zoanthids or paly? good job. great tools. Can you explaIN WHAT YOU USED TO FRAG? For fragging zoas, I used no protective wear. I used a scalpel, and super glue and some form of base. For a base I have home made frag plugs, frag disks, or LR rubble. Link to comment
scholar Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well every one the tank is going to live on at its new thread: Kevins 40 Breeder (TJ_Burtons former 40Gal Gangsta) Hope you all will follow. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sounds good and welcome.....you got some standards to live up to though, I hope you are prepared! Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Looks like the tank is going to a good home!! Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 My life feels so empty now Naw, I'm just kidding - but I really miss the tank. I will keep this thread going - but rather than updates on my tank, it will be filled with updates on my move. So far looks like I won't be going anywhere till mid November. That is provided I land my interview on the 17th of this month. I am not to worried about it, I have always done very well with interviews, and I never get nervous. I will let you know how it goes.
