animalmaster6 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Awesome Blenny! He's been on Diver Den longer than I thought he would be. Link to comment
seabass Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks everyone! I didn't know that they are chameleons. As soon as it swam away, it changed light blue. Sorry, I couldn't get a good pic while light blue (and cute). I did find this barnacle cluster at my LFS. It should make a nice home for Benny the Blenny. I'll probably cut some of the clusters off to make it smaller. I also picked up some Krylon Fusion (black gloss) for the PVC plumbing. Link to comment

I just mixed in figi mud with sand. That stuff is a pain to get it to separate and spread it out. Link to comment
seabass Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I just mixed in figi mud with sand. That stuff is a pain to get it to separate and spread it out.I'm thinking that I will mix it with some sand (like cookie dough ingredients) to form a less sticky mess. Then I will place the 'dough balls' throughout the bed. IDK, maybe it won't be that simple. Link to comment
myjohnson Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 kind of late but.... NICE DRILL JOB! I'm too scared to drill my 60p. Link to comment
seabass Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm too scared to drill my 60p.Thanks, I've never drilled a tank before. Unless it is tempered, I wouldn't worry too much. I was going to practice first, but figured that it would just add more work. I read a few write-ups first and went for it. I think the key was to go slow, don't put any more weight into drilling than the weight of the drill, and let the bit do the work (it slowly grinds through the glass). It probably took around 15 minutes a hole (drilling less than a minute, lifting the bit to let the water enter the grove, and drilling some more). Send me a PM if you'd like more details.
