:bowdown: those acans...so fluffy

;)

 

Oooo la la...very nice! The colors are just beautiful! I love the torch too! Very neon green and healthy. Wonderful tank! Great shots!

Thank you M2M!

 

I really love that torch because it's dark there and it's like it's floating.

Yes, there is rock there. I swear! lol. Want a frag of my Anti-Gravity Torch? $10K/head.

 

Very cool tank, i love the colors and the way you layed it out.

Thank you vlangel!

Thank you Felicia! More to come very soon :ninja:

 

Tank looks amazing!

You still have any of the corals I gave you?

Thank you Roger. For some amazing reason, the Hurlock RTN'd on me. I don't understand why I lost that one and not some other ones that were more sensitive. I still have the Katropora though. :)

You're pavonia is amazing, it makes me miss mine...

Thank you! It's really one of my favorite pieces.

 

My hurlocks kept getting abused getting stung my anemones and bubble corals, I was really hoping some lived for you, cause I needed a restart. :(

D'oh! Sorry about that.

 

Yes, more please! :)

Incredible tank. Ill have to go back and see how this started out.

 

What kind of glue do you use? I would never be able to glue anything on a vertical column like this with my crappy gel glue. I need something that hardens fast so I don't have to hold my coral in place forever.

Awesome tank! Congrats again. Btw you're the first to recognize the Octonauts, great show for fish geeks.

Thank you! Yes, I love watching that with my son. He really gets into it.

To glue anything to a rock, follow this simple formula:

coral >>> super glue gel>>>ball of epoxy>>>super glue gel>>>rock

 

You make kind of a sandwich. Just smoosh it into a crevice, and voila!

 

For superglue, I reccomend IC Gel. I've tried a lot of brands and I believe you get the most bang for your buck with this stuff as the tip doesn't get easily clogged.

 

For epoxy, I use DD Aquascape or the Tunze Putty. It's the same stuff, different brand. This is a two-part that you mix together prior to use, but it doesn't have any smell to it like other two-part epoxies. The only downfall is that you really only have one shot at it underwater. If you screw up with it, you'll need to start over again. Also, if you work it too hard under water, it will cloud up your water.

 

Happy Coral Mounting!

I've always enjoyed this tank because I loved it's look like it's a strand of DNA twisted. So happy for this. I know this tank inspires! And I thank you again for confirming my dino disaster. I just got my 40g wet tonight, new thread down below. Still making water. Congrats! And, THANK YOU for showing a four yr old tank. It's nice to see tanks that have been around and look so good and damn colorful.
