pschom Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Eh, more gallons doesn't necessarily equal more $$. Unless you factor in the extra water you have to make, the new amount of salt you will need, the live rock to take up the extra space, the corals that you will need to place on the new rocks, the fish that you will buy to swim in the new amount of salt water, the extra cool equipment you will need to make it just right..........$;@.'sk£{+{*}¥]!!!! Oh wait, that doesn't really make the point I was going for. Link to comment

Oh wait, that doesn't really make the point I was going for. Lol her only concern with more water volume is worst case flooding my neighbors under us. Top floor condo. Women always thinking the worst possible. And ohh yea extra toys... Better skimmer better Ato etc... Speaking of... Next fish is gonna be a Midas blenny! Link to comment

And got the tunze osmolator setup last night. Jeeze I don't know why I never got one of these before. So sweet, I'm using a 5gal bucket with ro/di water in it. Gotta figure out how long that lasts.

Cant ever let go of my STi... My built block/heads and 500whp is way too much fun, But i have considered picking up a used gtr from one of the guys at AMS they are only 15 min from my place and a cool bunch of dudes.

twan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Wow nice, trumps my 355whp evo8mr all day long! If only I didnt buy this house, have this kid, I would be in GTR land myself (but probably living in it, by myself!) Link to comment

Haha i feel you there, The subaru is paid off and ive had it since new, 7 years, after i blew the stock block i went all out on this block in hopes that it can handle the abuse better plus i had no bills at the time, now in a condo with my lady, Would love a gtr aswell but i think id be living in it if i came home with it, Although my gf claims she'll buy me one someday after supporting her while in dental school. Im not gonna worry about it till after we buy a townhouse Link to comment

pschom Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Had to chime in here. I know I'm not convincing anyone with my V6 accord coupe, but I used to race dsm's back in the day. Street not track. Had a 1g Talon that I wrecked and almost died. Also had two WS-6 LS6 that used to kill it in the 1/4 mile at the track. So yeah, maybe reefing does come from the same part of the brain. Whatever the case, we are all OCD at least a little. Link to comment

hannahs Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Tank is looking great! Can you tell me what type of equipment you have in the tank? I'm thinking of having a very similar tank made by picoaquariums, 30 X 18 X 18. What return pump do you have in the back? And it looks like you added a MP10, right? Link to comment
