Rehype Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 That sucks med.. i forgot this tank was 60 gallons. Well its time for you to win it on the other site Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 MedRed- just had a look at some of your new photos back around page 50-55. Absolutely stunning man. No question this would be TOTM by now if it was under 40 or whatever. In all honesty, when I was contacted, I thought CM was having me take this month because you couldn't get a writeup together in time. PM CM amd tell him you have 20 gallons less due to water displacement from live rock and coral Link to comment
MedRed Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 That sucks med.. i forgot this tank was 60 gallons. Well its time for you to win it on the other site Ha ha. If it's meant to be, it will happen. If not, I'll keep enjoying and sharing my tank anyway lol. CM says, Aquariums under 40 gallons are preferred." It doesn't mean it's an impossibility, but CM may not want to open the door for tanks too much bigger than the nano limit. AJ_Tsin's tank is the only one I know of that has broken the 40 gallon barrier. It all could just be conjecture and CM is waiting for more maturity from my tank. Who knows. I wasn't even entertaining the thought until you guys "hyped" it up. lol. I think my lack of knowing how TOTM works kept me from thinking I was winning anything.

It's incredible what you've done with mostly natural filtration. You definitely deserve your TOTM. Link to comment
Kazooie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I was a little skeptical about this being TOTM-type, but then I decided that it should get it. Link to comment
MedRed Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 I was a little skeptical about this being TOTM-type, but then I decided that it should get it. Ha... well, thank you. I just noticed that I really don't have a shot on the "other" site as well. There is a special nano TOTM and the regular TOTM tanks are all 100 gallons plus and usually closer to 200 gallons plus. my tank is a 'tween :-( Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Med, we love your tank. Size doesn't matter. Your attention to detail, thoughtful design and research into your animals alone is worthy of praise. Of course you top it off with that incredible scape. Art meets reef. I know we all hope for recognition from the forum but it isn't the reason we are on this forum, we certainly don't start a build with that in mind. Your tank is beautiful. Link to comment

MedRed Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 ARGHHH!!! A weeks worth of skimmate and I forgot to empty it before feeding frozen food. Skimmer overflowed and now all of that junk is back in the water! I HATE when I do that! +1 +1 Ok Mike! I will let you know by next week when my friend and I can come by.

I don't think they stick to 100+ all the time. I'd vote for you. Link to comment
MedRed Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Anybody know where I can get a replacement hinge for my glass top? I snapped one of them :-(. A clear hinge would be preferable.

Any LFS should be able to order you one. Just measure the length you need and have them order one for the standard tank size that corresponds to your tank width. Link to comment
Mitch619 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Medred go to my 20" NEP FS thread and tell people they need to buy that sh*t and get rid of their leds! lol Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 No worries. the current TOTM is definitely deserving. I think there has only been one TOTM over 40 gallons and it was 47 gallons. not true, there are 8 tanks with a 40+ dt that won totm. (40b is actually around 45 gallons) Link to comment

MedRed Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Well, I did a water change last night and forgot to put the lid back on... you know where this is going. I've NEVER forgotten to put the lid on my tank before going to bed. I'm so upset with myself. I let my little guy down :-(. He was my favorite fish in the tank. I have no desire to get a new one. He can't be replaced. His personality was unlike any fish I've ever had. :tears: :tears: This sucks soooooooooo bad! I just can't freaking believe this. Link to comment

MedRed Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thank you for your condolences. I'm so bummed. this is going to be a very crappyy weekend. :-( BSJ's aren't the easiest fish to keep and my little guy was certainly a success story. Irresponsibility on my part left him to suffer through the night until he dried up. I feel so bad. Link to comment
