PoopCola Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Is this what you're doing in class instead of paying attention? as a former teacher I am shocked and appalled... not really. looks like a nice start, though ADA purists might frown upon modifying the clean lines (not that I am one) I do some of my best thinking in school (lulz) : whoops! read aga as ada. my bad. ignore that, then. ADA purist? ( Im a super n00b) LOLZ thanks for the complement! Link to comment

The rock in the tank has been curing for 3 months and was "in transit" for a few hours so there is little to no die off FTS Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks Lak!!! it will remain pretty much the same until January Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 it looks pretty good! Whats up with the tank not being level? That could cause some problems down the line... Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 the false wall is off about two milimeters... so the water level is a little bit off I dont think it should be too much of a problem... right? Link to comment
freddy4130 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Dude, your false wall does not make the water level change. Your tank is unlevel. Water level is water level. It means you can fix it by leveling your stand/dresser or whatever that thing is your tank is sitting on. Get a level and sit it on the top of the dresser/stand thing. Then shim it. Or put an old sock under the short leg. Whatever. Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 ok will do thanks dude Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Freddy was right, I leveled out the aquarium today pics paper shim My brother is singing Mickey avalon in the background Link to comment
jmigchelbrink Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yo, shim the desk, not the tank! I would remove that shim as soon as possible, you are putting a torque on the tank bottom and you could blow the whole thing out. Shim the bottom of the desk, and make sure the whole tank contacts the desk Link to comment
schaferfred Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 That aquascape kicks some a**!!! VERY NICE!! Link to comment

schaferfred Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 You and I are at the same level right now. I have the diatoms as well. Waiting another week for CUC though to make sure I have no weird spikes. Your tank is going to look real good Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 more then 24hrs later and you still didnt re-shim ur tank lol nice tank. haha I know it proved to be more difficult than I thought the tank is on my dresser (really heavy), so im going to need my brother to help me shim it, but he hasn't been able to yet.. Is it better for the water level to be off or have the millimeter shim? thanks dude You and I are at the same level right now. I have the diatoms as well. Waiting another week for CUC though to make sure I have no weird spikes. Your tank is going to look real good Thanks man Ill be checking your thread right now! I think Im going to wait until January 5th to get a CUC because thats when sealife inc is open again Link to comment
PoopCola Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I just started working at a pet store with a saltwater section Today I picked up a clown and two turbos I have had no detectable cycle as of yet turbo sez "I WUv U" (can you see the heart?) My New clown I love turbos! they dominate all the bad algae and leave coraline alone! can you see the coraline! Fts My emerald (who I hadn't seen for a few days) some short videos will be up shortly (hopefully...) Link to comment

PoopCola Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Moved the tank yesterday Had my dad helped me shim it and in the process we spilled saltwater on the dresser (which happens to be a family heirloom) pics later today also the tank has cleared up a bit and I added a Hermit not sure what type though... Id later when we get pics Link to comment
smirkis Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 try to add a few hermits, they are good at eating scraps n crap. and try to get a variety of snails, i added my CUC seriously 3-5 days after i setup the tank. i never hit a diatom bloom tho which was weird, all my LR was beyond cured and my tank is super stable at about 3-4 months now. good progress buddy check out my 10gal build in my sig if u get a chance Link to comment
