jae4571 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I really like that rock and formation gives a lot of possibilities! Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 thank you and that formation was just temporary to see what i could do. i will be redoing it and it will be different because i have to use the rock to hide a few things Link to comment
Carnifex Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 YAY!!!!!! my order got here a day earlier than fedex predicted Yeah, my company is usually pretty good at getting things in early! Link to comment

Pics What are your stocking plans? Still secret? Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 no pics till it is up and running because i still have a few things left to make and paint and as of right now its still a bare tank lol. stocking though is no secret 3 sexy shrimp 1 porcelain crab(one of the really cools ones that have been being listed on DD lately) 1 tiny goby either a trimma or eviota(unless i find another really small goby that catches my eye) corals will be just about anything i want since ill have 108w of T5HO over the tank and once nanocustoms makes a retrofit kit for my NEP itll be 180W of T5VHO glory lol. but itll be mostly zoas and LPS..... for now Link to comment
c_k_kuehne Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 no pics till it is up and running because i still have a few things left to make and paint and as of right now its still a bare tank lol. Not even one picture -- maybe a "Coffee Cup" or a "Shot Glass" Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 hahaha ill get a pic later tonight maybe i gotta silicone a few things into the tank first Link to comment

animalmaster6 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 You have to have a FTS by midnight Eastern Time tomorrow on the FTS thread or DQ! The first one we did not DQ people but now we will! Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 sand and water have FINALLY been put in the tank. but just now while writing this message i realised i forgot to take a pic with a shot glass or coffee cup in the tank so i guess im off to empty all of the water out lol. Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Haha dont worry I almost did the same.. Actually I think someone else had to empty their pico too because they forgot to take a picture. Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 well im gonna let the sand settle over night before i drain all but like 1in of water out then take the pic. i hope thats dry enough for everyone cause theres no way im pullin sand and all the water out thats too much of a pain lol Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just try and get most of the water out. Its all good. Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 yea ill stick one of my pico pumps in it and let it run till it starts sucking air then ill take the pic and put all the water back lol Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 That works. Ive mostly emptied mine already like 3 times.... Set up a 40B and the poor pico had to move. Luckily its easier draining such a small tank! Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 cool and yea i hear ya on that i finished setting up my 46g before i finished all the odds and ends on this tank. actually im still working on a few things lol. i still havent checked to see if my AC30 can still hold water after i fixed a crack in it when my dog knocked it down on the tile floor while i was letting the silicone cure after modding it. i still have to finish my pipework which i just finished glueing it all together which i really should do outside instead of the living room lol.

Amphitrite Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 "yep thats the only spot i have left in my room for a tank and it will be partially blocking the view of another one lol" I seriously laughed out loud when I read that! I have four tanks in my classroom (only one sw) and we even have a qt in the kitchen at home! It'll be fun to see how our hex's progress. I was going to use a standard 5g hex, but it was scratched to high heavens; hopefully I can pick up my glass for my custom hex tomorrow....and I'm still trying to find specific plumbing parts guess I'll have to try to find them on line! Thanks for you help on my lighting question! Can't wait to see more pics of your tank! Link to comment
