Fantastic build!

Just looking at how you put glasses to become a tank is amazing. The photos.. breathless! :D wish I know how to put one like this together ;) (sadly, I don't. care to explain why the need to taper the glasses before applying the silicon? -_-)

 

I'll be tagging along! (:

mostly for clean edges but also saves a few hours of clean up :)

 

I named the frogfish kurby...figured it was a perfect match

thanks! but is there any technique into applying silicon when one is building a tank from scratch?

Any good links to recommend? I will want to get my hands dirty now :happy:

(my bad to have deviated from the topic >< sorry TS! )

 

Anyway, nice vivarium! any updates? :)

mm use tape, use lots of silicone, take your time, make sure the glass is square and the right dimentions.. i dont have any links but if you do a search on google, reefcentral...(if you can) or on here. should come up with something.. will have pictures in a few mins :mellow:

my frogfish doesn't go near my sexy or pom pom and the peppi is to big for him. also ran into a absolutly tiny frog fish at a pet store the other day... i was so tempted, he was maybe a 1" long and super red.. but a $75 dollar snack for the other frog fis is a bit much.

 

the light is a t5 ho 4 bulb sunlight supply light... (the same people that make the tek light).. its a lower end light with V reflectors, no on off switch and single cord.... pretty sure its for hydroponics type stuff.. witch makes it perfect for a viv..

 

both vivs will be taken down in the summer and im planning a 3' tall X 3' long X 2' deep viv for all my plants and i will house some darts mostlikley.....

 

i think im going to buy a vortek MP20 :D i have sold the 3 big croceas, both chalice corals, a big chunk of rock that i need to replace with a few smaller chunks and a few other small frags..

 

i will probably end up running the MP20 on the lowest seting.. as there isnt much room for waves.

COOL dude, tell me how you are finding it.

I just recently moved to a new office and my boss is giving me the green light to put a 1.5 or 2ft cube tank, so I am considering between a controllable tunze 6055 or MP20.

Give me your thoughts alright (:

 

p.s: I have seen how a 6055 works. Now for a MP20 (:
