pbjelly Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hot Damn! Raaaaaaaaaaaawr!!!!!!!!!!! That is one heck of a nice looking cat. (and the tank looks pretty sweet too.) I'm not sure your fish are going to get along with the new tank's other 'inhabitant'. Maybe you should check Live Aquaria to see if they are compatible. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 HA she can stay sitting upright! Nice HUGE compared to your other tank! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Well, what are your first impressions? Link to comment
FlCandy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Well, what are your first impressions? She is busy getting it set up! LOL I wouldn't be on for at least 4 hours right now if I was her! Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I have to go back to get the stand, it didn't fit in the car. First impressions? HUGE Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Grab a nice bottle of wine on the way home with the stand, it will help you put it together. Link to comment

iball1804 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Precisely. There's an exact ratio of sense:drink. Link to comment

metrokat Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Some delays in setting up the RSM and starting a thread. The cabinet looked like it would collapse if I sat on it much less put a 34 gallon tank with over 100 pounds of rock and sand in. The metal bolt locks were twisted and shaky, installed with a power drill and too fast. So I took the stand apart, used metal epoxy on the parts where metal met metal and gorilla glue where wood met wood. Even the little wood pegs got glued. Thanks to KG walking me through my purchase at Lowes, I feel very confident in the strength of the cabinet now. The rock arrived! And it's getting wet in buckets with heaters and circulation Found a dead mantis shrimp with the rocks! about 3 inches, smasher. The rest of the rocks are looking good. Spent the last few hours photographing each one and drawing a patters/footprint of it so I can start planning the scape. The substrate is delayed due to weather issues and will arrive Saturday, hopefully by then I will have a scape in mind. Still have to run a freshwater test on the tank which I will do tomorrow. Also the circuitry is getting upgraded tomorrow and that is why this tank sits outside the kitchen as originally planned. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Michael graves bucket with live rock. Only you would have a designer fish bucket. Link to comment

Till the rock wobbles then topples and the tank has a crack. I cannot take that risk. Michael graves bucket with live rock. Only you would have a designer fish bucket. Link to comment
