PoopCola Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ok folks I will not be adding any new frags or stuff to this tank unfortunately I will be attending college in the fall so I will need to start saving all my money for college expenses It has been a gret ride so far and I look forward to seeing thins grow out Thanks to all who followed the thread I will still periodically update it, but just growth pics (Who knows maybe my reefing addiction will get the best of mme and I will buy some more stuff ) Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Now you'll just need a pico for your dorm room! I kept a one gallon FW tank in mine, although that was before I caught the SW bug. Link to comment

doug105 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey Poop!! Really nice set-up you got goin' here!! Love what you've been able to accomplish with this set-up. I have a couple of questions for you...... What is the temp of your room and your reef? I think you have 96 watts of T-5 over it, right? How do you keep your temps stable? How often and what volume are your water changes? Thanks and keep it up! Sorry if you've already covered this info. DougN Link to comment
PoopCola Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 The room temp stays between 70 and 85 degrees fahrenheit The 96 watts of T5 have given me no temp. prblems There is no chiller, just a heater. Temps have remained relatively stable. I do 10-40% a week (It depends on how ambitious I am that particular week) Thanks! and Good Luck! Link to comment

happyclam Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sweet tank. It's amazing how much the colors pop, and you pulled of the gray sand effect really well. Sorry if this has already been answered, but thats just a standard All Glass 10 gallon and you just removed the top plastic trim, right? Is there a reason why you didn't remove the bottom trim as well? Just curious because I removed the top & bottom trim from my 10 gallon today, looked really sleek, and then I read the horror stories about how almost every tank owner who did this had his tank explode. Much to say I am now totally freaked out that my 10's gonna explode. What is your opinion on this? Does the bottom rim provide some sort of essential support which has allowed it not explode the past year(ish)? Sorry for weird question. Good luck at college & with this awesome tank!

rjdac Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 PoopCola: I enjoyed following this thread, your tank is awsome. Hope to see the odd growth shot over time. happyclam: I've heard the same stories re tank blowout without the plas base. Appearently it provides main support for the uprights to the base. The pressure (even small amts) causes substrate to constantly compact, if there is 'give' to the sides (silicone is flexy) they don't return to original position and eventually a fracture point is created. I have seen a pseudo-rimless bottom: the owner simply framed in around the plastic base with the same material as the stand to give the illusion. Good luck. Link to comment
