Squared Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 so wait how is this a 90 gallon system? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ecotech's break and burn up too often for them to even be worth $100 IMHO. It will be either closed loop with one huge submersible pond pump hidden in the DIY scape with several returns or a few large koralias on timers. Have you ever thought of like, 6 staggered pillars?Might be neat. Hmmm. I like that idea. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 At least they have great CS. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 so wait how is this a 90 gallon system? I'm not moving the 40, I'm taking the 75 with me with 30 gal sump that will hold 15 gallons at normal capacity. Moving a tank is too stressful on top of a move. At least they have great CS. For $700, a pump shouldn't burn up in less than 2 years CS or not. My AC201 is 11 years old and has never stopped. It cost $20. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Powerhead? My AquaClear 30 PH has been an absolute workhorse. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yup, AC powerheads are good. I would already have a MP10-40 if it wasn't for their short life. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Do you ever get off NR? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Do you? I consistent post <half of what you do But I don't get on the computer per sé, I just browse on my phone during commercial breaks, when I'm procrastinating, etc. I check reddit for new stuff first though. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 My average is 13 posts per day. Yours is 17. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 But you also weren't as active until you started your build... After I had been a member for a while. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I am older than you NR-wise. And I was active just posting 2-3 posts a day. You came on and polluted NR with your Joel-ish comments Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 you're just as bad and you know it. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes I'm a little off-color. And tend to hijack threads. But that's beside the point! Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nice new sig. I was lurking for a moment prior to logging in. Otherwise, I would have never known. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks bub, I have other ideas I might do later. Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks bub, I have other ideas I might do later. Ideas? What's her last name? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 For reals though, I'd like to take another wack at making the letters look gold. Metallic effects are tricky in PS and my work never called for me to learn how to do it. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 ^ this ^ Your tank would be demonic. Have you ever thought of like, 6 staggered pillars? Might be neat. I like this ^ Link to comment
colormyheart Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Every time I'm sad, I look at Joel's avatar. I like the bare bottom tank idea. Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I posted a pic of my hermit crab for the contest, heads up Joel The Hermit! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I like this ^ I like it too. The only thing better could be if my tank was rimless star fire. Every time I'm sad, I look at Joel's avatar. I like the bare bottom tank idea. I like my avatar too I posted a pic of my hermit crab for the contest, heads up JoelThe Hermit! I love how he looks so sad, like he's made a huge mistake. Link to comment
gena Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Good job fragging your acro! I'm no expert, but it looks like you did a pretty good job with it Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks! it was pretty easy to do. The only problem was the RTN was diagonal so my frags ended up much smaller than I thought. Link to comment
gena Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Did you enlarge the sig too? I like it better Course...I'm not wearing my glasses right now so it could just be my eyes It definitely looks different to me though. I really, really like it a lot! So...should I be expecting some Molly/snow pics soon or did you not get hit with that storm? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nope, sig's the same. And the snow missed us by about an hour south. Link to comment
