phi delt reefer Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 yep it is.. i was out of ideas and listening to them at the time. Small world - Chad's fiancée (now wife) works with me in London, Ontario. A few of us at work have been to a couple of his shows to show support for his CD launch last year. On a nano-reef related note - schweet tank and good to hear your mp10 is back! Link to comment

ajmckay Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Machete, I think I've posted earlier in the thread (or maybe it was another thread with a tiled tank bottom), but I have to say I really like the tank. I'm impressed at how it's matured. compared to the first pictures. I also really like how the tile has started to mature into a true tapestry of colors! Thanks for all the pictures too. Regarding the tiles, have you noticed any negative effects at all? Did you glue them down or together? Or are they just placed on the glass? What kind of tiles are they (ceramic, natural stone, etc)? They almost look like those 12x12 ceramic sheets you buy for a shower or whatever that you've ripped apart. Oh, and of course I love your frogspawn... Mine grows well, but it doesn't get spawny enough... Link to comment
MacheteAvenue Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 thanks! no negative effects, i soak and wash them before putting them in the tank. they are a natural stone some sort of calcium i guess. i get them at home depot they are call Tumbled Noce Travertine. and yes they are just placed on the glass.. they build up a poo layer under them that bristle worms and brittle stars like to live in.

ajmckay Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 they build up a poo layer under them that bristle worms and brittle stars like to live in. Gross! Haha... It looks like you have them packed in there pretty tight so hopefully that stuff doesn't show much. Can you siphon the poo up through the cracks? Link to comment
MacheteAvenue Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 yes you can, thats what i do pretty much every WC. im sort of thinking about going with a really thin sand layer on top of the tile. i feel the rock blends in with the floor and isnt giving good contrast witch makes it a bit boring.

ajmckay Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 That's an interesting point. Of course I was probably more in awe of the idea when I was looking at the pictures, but I bet after a while it does get rather bland as the tiles color up and basically look just like rock... I'm wondering if there's a way to jazz that up a bit. hmmm... Link to comment
