Coastie Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Funny,... I have the same addictions, though instead of black and yellow it's black and gold Link to comment
the_gats Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hey man, I just noticed how sick that light hanger is. Is that galvanized pipe or PVC? Thanks, It's actually 1/2 copper pipe painted with krylon fusion paint. Once the wife gets paid this week I will be ordering 50lb base rock and my MP10. So hopefully this build will start becoming alive now that I'm working again. Link to comment

the_gats Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Burgundy and Gold!!! .....through the good and bad... So pretty much you just mean through the BAD!!! Ordered 50lb of rock from John last night. Tomorrow I have to get oil change, tire, and inspection. If that is all I will be ordering my MP10 this weekend. Link to comment

the_gats Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Exactly Listening to the things that organization has done in the last 10+ years pains me and I am not even a fan. I do like the Caps though. My parents were never big hockey fans so I never had the pens up bringing like I do the steelers. And being a military brat allows you to pick your teams. Link to comment

My parents were never big hockey fans so I never had the pens up bringing like I do the steelers. And being a military brat allows you to pick your teams. I may be tired of seeing the Steelers win games but I honestly believe that Polomalu is one of the greatest athletes of all time. That signed helmet is SO awesome. Show me another player that goes onto the field/rink/court/whatever and goes bat#### crazy EVERY single play. He runs at lightspeed to get anywhere and even when his speed causes him to make mistakes he just recovers. Who else in the NFL plays like they're a rabid animal every single play and always has? ------------------------------------------------------------- As for the penguins...well I grew up a pens fan. Jagr is one of my favorite figures in sports but since NC got the canes I haven't looked back. Tank looks great next to that TV Link to comment
the_gats Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 I never get tired of the steelers winning, I just get tired of them taking years off my life because they refuse to not make it a last second game. I am hoping for Pitt v. Chicago SB because I am way more terrified of Green Bay than I am the Bears. Link to comment
the_gats Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Picked up 6 frags for $40 today. I got a tyree tricolor, bird of paradise, Cali tort, huge green cap, and pink and green bird nest. Will get pics up of them in their temp homes later. Go Steelers!!! Link to comment

Twinn Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Can't wait to see the pic's, bears are my team so this has become a bad day for me. Link to comment
automatik_33 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Nice additions and tank looks great! Also I think the Steelers got this. Link to comment
the_gats Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Alright not the best pictures but here we go. Green Cap. A lot more florescent in person. Green Birdsnest. Remember just temp home. Not going to secure them if I don't have to until I get the 40 set up From Left to Right. Cali Tort, Pink Birdsnest, Birds of Paradise, and down is Tricolor. Tricolor and Red Planet Some of these are pissed because I havent secured them so they get knocked down, but so far polyps have been out and they are looking pretty good. Link to comment
gutterguy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 SUPER BOWL BABY!!! The corals look great too! Link to comment
the_gats Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 SUPER BOWL BABY!!! The corals look great too! Here we go. Nothing better than 50000+ fans waving their terrible towels in Jerry Jones face. Link to comment
tundrashaul Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Those look great, love the bird of paradise. Link to comment
the_gats Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Got my rock from John today and messing around trying to scape. So here is my first attempt at scaping. Let me know what you think. Link to comment
tundrashaul Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Looks great. I was wondering how this thing was coming along. I think the scape looks great and has tons of places for corals, which is something I wish I had considered a little more! Link to comment

It was my first scape put together and Im pretty sure I like it, but wanted to see if anyone had any constructive criticism. Link to comment
the_gats Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Also I am hoping to have water in this thing on Friday since I get my first pay check in over a month and the account is struggling. Hopefully after rent is paid I can get my order in on the mp10. So I am gonna say I should be good to go with this thing in 2 weeks. I am tired of waiting. Link to comment
bioload Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yea thats one of the things I was going for.

Nice open look but is there some way you could get the two ends away from the glass? Gonna trap stuff there and be hard to clean. Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The scape and new corals look great!! I noticed you're in Manassas too, I'm from Dumfries. Did you get those frags from a LFS or? Link to comment

Thanks, yea I think I can bring them in closer together without cramping things up any. Luckily I got 2 tiger pistols and they go everywhere and keep things turned up pretty well. The scape and new corals look great!! I noticed you're in Manassas too, I'm from Dumfries. Did you get those frags from a LFS or? Nice another local. I got the frags from a guy in Woodbridge. He had a FS thread on WAMAS so I went and picked them up. Everything else I get from Blue Ribbon Koi. Link to comment
