proraptor2 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 OMFG I picked up the hood from john and its AWESOME! I really want to thank john for a job well done..The hinges are actually clear acrylic and look pimp in person....Now for the pics Thanks again John Link to comment
GobyInPeace Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Very nice indeed! The hood and stand look slick. I like the fact that everything looks so clean and all you can see is a couple of powerheads. Its going to look really sharp once you get some more livestock growing in there! Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks! I still might work on going powerhead - less but its going to be awhile because Id rather work on buying more coral for the tank.... Link to comment

annamarie421 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Wow looks great!! We need closer pics of the new frags though... Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks everyone! Phixion - sorry dude....he hood fits perfect though. Im still using that current USA nova extreme T5ho AnneMarie - SOrry I havent got shots of the new corals up yet Ive been busy trying to get the hood done... Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 looking good Tom, that hood is nice! I'm hopefully upgrading aswell, 40 breeder SPS dominant for me with all the bells and whistles once I can afford them! lol. I'm broke so it's an x-mas present hopefully Santa (aka dad) gets me it. I'm gonna overskim the hell out of the tank with his Red Sea Berlin Turbo. Haven't figured out the flow. Have stick to my korilias until i get some cash, getting 2 DE 250's over that thing once I save up too. All my dad says he'll get is the tank, stand, sump, and rock/sand. i'm using an old return I found in the garage too, it so happens to be the one recommended to go with the sump. The second he says he'll get it i'm starting a thread. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 awesome nick let me know if you get a thread up.....Im unable to keep SPS anymore because they give me a really bad rash. It just isnt worth it.. Ill try and get some pics of the new corals tonight Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 awesome nick let me know if you get a thread up.....Im unable to keep SPS anymore because they give me a really bad rash. It just isnt worth it.. Hood looks really nice Tom! Do they really give you a rash? I always get weird marks on my ect ect and I never know what causes it, I am in and out of a dozen tanks all day so it still a guess for me. Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah, sps gives me a bit of a rash on my fingers the next day. Goes away after a few hours but itches a bit. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Its always my arms, usually the soft bottom part, never my fingers. Link to comment
fierceseaman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Great tank. I really like the look of the rockscape. Are you getting the acan's local? Anyway you could PM me where you are getting them? Overall, very impressive. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I usually buy the acans from local friends... So Im going to take the hood back to john tonight so he can add some re-enforcement to it to ensure its nice a sturdy. Im also have a problem with bubbles that I cant figure out....They are micro bubbles really but larger bubbles and it looks like they are coming out of my return? Ive tried everything Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Pro, i can't upgrade after all. Really angry, it just costs too much to get going. Just gonna turn my pod into a crazy SPS I think. The yasha died yesterday so i could go BB. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 That sucks nick....I know how costly these things can be Im sure your aquapod will be super nice all SPS So I got my hood back from john (awesome turnaround time) One problem though he glued the brace too far back and it covers the whole rear chamber system....Looks like Im going to have to do some cutting Link to comment
