Hobbesaurus Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 This thing looks awesome! This mantis is gonna be one happy camper! One thing I saw, the wheels on the tank stand... I would get rid of those...Shifting stands are no good unless I missed your reasoning behind leaving he wheels in which case disregard Good luck man! I think this is shaping up AWESOME! Thanks for the vote of confidence As for the wheels, I'm leaving them on for now since the tank isn't in it's permanent location and I'm not all the way done doing my cable management (mentioned items I've still yet to install in above posts)... Once that's done and I'm ready to move it to the final resting place I'll give the removal of the wheels some thought. They've been really handy for maintenance so far and really don't bother me much aesthetically however if they've been known to cause problems I'll definitely consider getting rid of them Link to comment
William Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 do you thinki it would be possible to mod the stand to remove some of the shelves? ie to put an ato tank in the stand? Link to comment
Hobbesaurus Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 do you thinki it would be possible to mod the stand to remove some of the shelves? ie to put an ato tank in the stand? The thought has crossed my mind... I think if I was to do that I'd just go the route of getting some sort of custom long/flat reservoir made to fit in the drawers as is... Don't think my little Dremmel 200 can handle much more torture Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Looking good! That's going to be an amazing setup. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Quick update on your corals since Adam took pictures of things tonight. Sorry about the dirty glass and sand, this tank gets neglected pretty hard.. Bubble. This thing has really recovered since being preyed on / irritated by the hermits. Hammer. Blastos out of focus below. Want some of those neon green polyps/zoas? Not sure what they are but I'm cutting them up this week to trade around the club. Link to comment
Adam_T Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 To mod the chest to allow an ATO reservoir inside, all you would have to do is cut the bottom few drawers in half (length wise), and move up their back piece....reattach it....adjust the wheels/tracks....donezo. Hidden ATO. Link to comment
Giga Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 This is a cool build. All these mantis tanks really make me miss my mantis Link to comment
BadCrab Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Why don't you update this? I've been to your house. That tank is full of coral. The mantis shrimp is plotting doom for the most expensive piece. Link to comment
Hobbesaurus Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Ok, so I've been a terrible forum user... and I'm sorry... *let the beating commence* But in my repentance I'm posting some pictures of my finished tank... You'll see I've added a new torch coral with ~8-9 heads as well as Chris Brown himself Tank shot Torch Closeup of Torch Ric Recovering Frogspawn Purple/Gold Wall Hammer Neon Green/Purple Wall Hammer (Is no more unfortunately RIP ) And the star And Again And a video of the badass in action Link to comment
RollaJase Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Tank is looking great. The LPS look to be doing well. Link to comment
TaterTot24 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You tank looks awesome.... so does the Mantis! Excuse my ignorance, as I am just getting back into the hobby -- but what is the purpose of the Comline Filter? Is it just to supplement the PicO filter or what? Also, does it fit in the back compartment? Link to comment
