nanoty Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Those TV tray stands are really strong. Made from hard wood I've got a custom cabinet being made. Should be in next week I have the same trays, lol. I really like the overflows. Link to comment
Joeygo Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just got my tank today So it's time to start a thread Visio 40B 1/2"glass, internal overflow Link to comment
nanoty Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Digging the stand, ultimate access. I can't do woodwork for ######. Link to comment
Joeygo Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Digging the stand, ultimate access. I can't do woodwork for ######. Thanks but I found a cabinetmaker to build it for me. The difference in price between him doing it or me was about $60 bucks. I just spent my time on a concrete top that will go on it. I still need to stain the doors (got them yesterday) resin coat the inside of the cabinet build a power strip Link to comment

Joeygo Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Nice none the less. I like it. Thanks. I've put a lot of thought into this tank. I'm just trying to make it come together and not be in a hurry. Here is a pic of the top. I gave it a chiseled type edge for a rustic feel. It still needs to dry more before I can seal it. What do you think? Link to comment
nanoty Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Pretty damn cool. Definately different than anything I've seen. Link to comment
Joeygo Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Pretty damn cool. Definately different than anything I've seen. top edge detail tank/cabinet/top I almost have my stand completed. I still need to secure it to the wall and install the power strips. Link to comment
xplicit Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 That light is nice and blue. What are you running under it? Link to comment
Joeygo Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 That light is nice and blue. What are you running under it? It's just a standard Current PC light w/dual actinic and dual daylight 96w each. Not what everyone is running but for 120 bucks it will work. Oh yea it has moonlights also Link to comment

Joeygo Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 very nice.Beautiful stand and top. Thanks for the compliment. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm going for a stone/rock look on the top. theoldman what about some updated pics of your tank in your thread? Link to comment
Joeygo Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Just an update. Wed. night I picked up 60lbs of live rock and 60lbs of live sand. This is what I did with it. Cloudy tank shot next morning corner shot today is almost 2 days and my readings are Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Ph 8.2 / 8.3 S.G. 1.024 I saw these today. Any Idea to what these hitchikers are? Maybe RTBA?? 5/20/09 tank looks good added 7 hermits on 5/16 to control some alge and a couple of snails. pic of RTBA Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Nice. What do you have for lights? You were probably way too quick on adding those anemones... Just sayin. Link to comment
Bobbozr2 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 He didn't add those nems. He said they're hitchhikers. Link to comment
Xavier613 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 He didn't add those nems. He said they're hitchhikers. actually he just said added 'Nems. Link to comment
Joeygo Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 actually he just said added 'Nems. Yes I did add them. Yes it was soon. The only reason I got away with it was because all of my rock was cycled 6 week before it got to my tank. I never saw any cycle. Link to comment
Sushi Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Looking sharp! Look how clean that sand is! Link to comment
