RayWhisperer Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ok, I'm pretty over documenting any of my projects, so I don't have any of the build to share. TBH, I don't even know why I'm doing a thread on it. I guess I'm just kinda bored. To begin, I'd like to thank some fellow N-R members for what they have provided. You can't have a reef without a tank. So, thanks cdelicath. I bought the Deep Blue 12 with low iron glass. http://www.picoaquariums.com/index.php?pag...rt&Itemid=1 Had him make it with black seams. This was the beginning. Next,I'd like to thank Chris, Nick, and Evil all of Nanotuners/Nanocustoms fame. They all took a great deal of their own time to deal with me on a personal basis. I don't really like giving my money to just anyone. However,I never have second thoughts with these guys. I bought Evil's PAR 38 http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php...products_id=699 In both 12K and 20K because I couldn't decide which I wanted. So far I've settled on the 12K. Reluctantly, I'd like to thank StevieT of InTank fame. Why reluctantly, you may ask? Because I am in fear for my life. That guy is hard core scary. Anyhow, I got several things from this guy. http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Hydor-Pico-Ev...-HYD-P14801.htm Pico pump http://shop.mediabaskets.com/JBJ-Nano-Glo-...ght-JB10094.htm Nano Glo http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Hanna-Alkalin...r-HC-HI-755.htm Hanna Alk tester http://shop.mediabaskets.com/NanoMag-Magne...Cleaner-NM1.htm NanoMag http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Coral-Super-G...-20g-CA6015.htm InTank brand glue ( I think he threw that in to alliviate my fears. ) That's the rundown from fellow members. I'll post a pic or two to break up the giant block of text. Here's a slideshow of the only pics I have so far. You will notice the one rock. This IS the one rock to rule them all. Also, take note of the extra duckbill. This isn't standard on the tank. I drilled it and installed a pump in chamber 1. I used this pump. http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/HY-P14801.html The 200 series running 70 GPH. It's tiny. I wish I had taken a pic of it in my hand to show just how tiny it is. I got a duckbill from modularhose.com http://www.modularhose.com/Loc-Line-12-Sys.../Loc-Line-51807 I also needed this http://www.modularhose.com/Loc-Line-12-Sys.../Loc-Line-51805 To connect it to a1/2" barbed elbo I got from the local hardware store. To hang the light and keep with the cube theme, I used this. http://www.menards.com/main/lights-fans/in...13.htm?cid=6357 And to hide the wire, I used this. http://www.menards.com/main/lights-fans/in...13.htm?cid=6357 That's all I have pics for right now. More pics and some info on the stand to come. Link to comment

RayWhisperer Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 It is not sweet. It is evil, full of hate, and malice. It has only one desire. To rule all other rocks, and in the darkness, enslave them. Anyhow, thanks, NRF. Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 That is one hard looking rock. Fear the StevieT Link to comment
matt frizz Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 What are the livestock/coral plans for it? Looks great so far. Link to comment
jeremai Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 one-rock tanks are pretty much the best thing ever, imo. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Pshh, wait until I get the fellowship of the rocks off the ground. Never mind, doomed to failure by way of comparison. Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 What are the livestock/coral plans for it? Looks great so far.Started out thinking a Maxima ans softies/LPS. I've since dropped the clam idea in favor of a mixed reef bonzai. As for fish, I'm looking at 1, possibly a pair of Gressingeri goby. one-rock tanks are pretty much the best thing ever, imo.Yeah, me too. this thread rockYes it does. Pshh, wait until I get the fellowship of the rocks off the ground. Never mind, doomed to failure by way of comparison. loool! Link to comment

thesmallerthebetter Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 i worry that in time the rock will drive your corals mad, they will start walking on all fours and saying things like "precious".......not to mention the invisibility thing...might not be a good quality in a reef Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 The rock of reeftopia!It perferrs the name mount doom. i worry that in time the rock will drive your corals mad, they will start walking on all fours and saying things like "precious".......not to mention the invisibility thing...might not be a good quality in a reef I've already called it my precious.

RayWhisperer Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 He couldn't possibly hate all over it. I made that totally ##### slideshow with the cute music. I'm sure that has swayed his opinion in it's favor. Thanks, D. Good to know a well respected artist, such as yourself, can see my perfect vision of creativity. Link to comment
