schgr.cube Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Regarding John.... That two timing piece of..... yeah I'm working with him also. Great guy. I'll be curious to see how all this works out. Very similar plans/ideas. Thanks for sharing. LOL funny how things work. But yeah, feel free to share any ideas with me as well, seems we have at least a similar plan. Also, where in MD are you from? I used to live in Columbia / Ellicott City area, and we are moving back to DC this July. Link to comment
JoeD Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Also, where in MD are you from? I used to live in Columbia / Ellicott City area, and we are moving back to DC this July. In the Mechanicsville/Hughesville area.... Check WAMAS out if you haven't already, for the DC locals. BTW nice tank and thread. Bouncing ideas off other people always seems to help. Link to comment
JoeD Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Finally a wet tank... Goodies from Lucid Propagations are due to arrive on Thursday... spoils of war from the 12" AOI cube contest.. Rock goes in later tonight. Link to comment
pyrocreep Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Very nice. I'm glad I found this again. I saw it a while ago, but didn't subscribe. What's all going to go in it? Link to comment
JoeD Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Very nice. I'm glad I found this again. I saw it a while ago, but didn't subscribe. What's all going to go in it? Thanks for asking.... still a work in progress. Stocking plans thus far are... Hi-fin goby and pistol pair.. (trying to figure out a way to prevent them from causing sandscape headaches) Palys/zoas/rics, some LPS, maybe a bit of SPS..... vague, But I'm pulling from existing tanks, and I'll have to see how it evolves. Urchins still a possibility, as are a pair of black clown gobies. Link to comment
JoeD Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Wiring... we hate it, but ATO and everything else on auto pilot... I think.. Front shot... Still not 'scaped yet, but getting house mates acquainted with each other. Link to comment
JoeD Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Top down view... Hard to see, but trachy in the back left, nuke greens center, pipe organ to the left of center, and to the right blastos in the rear, LOTR mid right, and King Midas front right are courtesy of my shopping spree with Lucid Propagations. Lottsa work to do...if everything stays happy, I hope to actually aquascape this weekeend. Link to comment

JoeD Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks all... It's in your bedroom? No, I put the mantis tank in our bedroom.... not my brightest idea given the nocturnal tapping on things... Finally ordered stuff from John at reefcleaners. It arrived today... Time for this tank to start moving forward. Rescaping this weekend Time to get this tank out of its transient state!!! Link to comment

JoeD Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 You've got a super nice selection of livestock in there. Why are the pics so dark though? Thank you, as for the pics, inept with a camera (getting better), and did not mess around with multiple settings/attempts, or post editing. Just wanted to get a short update posted. Link to comment
Wendy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Love the Sexys!!! Nice set-up as well! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 you need to clean the front glass lol otherwise it looks great! some concerns - why is that one maxi mini a bit brown in the center? -if youre keeping this open top how are you preventing your fish from jumping? Link to comment

The maxi/mini should purple up as I lower the light over the next few weeks. My eye gave more credit to the light than it was due. Regarding jumping... luck. Mostly bad, I'll be surprised if both YCGs make it till the end. One sexy already fallen prey to my daughters cat :} I wipe kitty hair off the rim on a regular basis. I would put a screen on top, but..... no new stuffs Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 yeah thats my biggest concern about owning a shallow tank myself - i LOVE them but theres no way to cover them >_< I understand your pains, hopefully your tank makes it though, it looks great as i said. Link to comment
Falcon_Punch Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 WAMAS,So you're in the DMV area Good looking tank! Link to comment
JoeD Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just a quick thought.... Personally stepping away from the use of Marineland heaters.... Too many problems recently.... Customer service and warranty has been great, but need a more reliable heater... Too much at stake.. Link to comment
