scott26 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Wow Nice build man. Love the DIY stand and sweet deal with the CL buy. Cool to find someone with the same tank at the same point in their build. I guess the race is on to see who gets water first lol. Your going to win my build just got pushed back a few months with a new move and some car work that needs to get done... damn. Link to comment
JKUNZ Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Looks sweet! Best of luck, and tagging along. Link to comment
reefer916 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The store closed down thats why I got such a good deal.If your in nj check out www.njreefers.org You can find all the deals on there. Must be long lost twins. I'm in the process of setting up a 29 high for my girlfriend because she wanted a sea horse tank. I just setup the 12 gallon three days ago for my wife's seahorse tank.. I haven't gotten around to taking pics. I'm horrible on doing build threads because I'm retarded when it comes to pics and between the tanks, kids, and work there's very little time Post some pics of your GF's seahorse tank.. I've been debating to get my wife a little bigger tank, but taking care of a 95 mixed reef, 24 gallon coral tank, and a 12 gallon Seahorse tank there isn't much more room. I may even reconfigure my 95 Wave to a large Seahorse setup and use my 24 and 12 gallon for corals, but that'll take a lot of work. I'd have to get rid of a majority of my corals and definitely all of my fish...hmmm What to do.. What to do... Looking forward to see your builds progress... Keep posting.. Link to comment

Not much progress on the 29 either I got off to a good start. I repainted the tank and stand. Then put in some sand and dry rock, threw on a HOB filter and realized there is no outlet on that wall !!?!?!? So thats on hold until I run a new outlet on that wall, but I guess thats the price you pay for buying a house build in 1922. Link to comment

That's cool that your living in a house built in 1922. There's a lot of history behind that house.. Keep up the posts... Link to comment
scott26 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So any new updates seems like you got yours pushed back as well. Link to comment
steve0xr Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 The tank is being filled right now............... Link to comment
steve0xr Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ok the pump was much more powerful than I expected even at a 10' head. It was a bit too much even for the overflow to keep up with so I just added a recirc line. I was planning on doing this anyway when I set up my fuge and frag tank but for now its just recirculating into the sump. Pics tomorrow............ Link to comment
steve0xr Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 I still have a lot of work to do but at least I can say I'm making progress............ and sorry for the blurry cell phone pics. Link to comment
