FlCandy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Oh I will! I plan to learn from your mistakes, no offense meant but you know that! Same as some did from me and I did from others before me. Circle always goes on. Link to comment
Felicia Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 You and your DIY skills amaze me!!!!!! And Lily is tooooo cute!!!! I wish I was setting up a pony/fuge tank. I LOVE this!!!!!! I haven't done much yet. Just designed and then someone else cut all that for me. The DIY stuff starts in a few minutes when I start gluing. Do it! You only have one tank right now. Plumb a display fuge in next to it Just get a smaller couch. Oh I will! I plan to learn from your mistakes, no offense meant but you know that! Same as some did from me and I did from others before me. Circle always goes on. Yep, that's how these projects work. I just home this AIO chamber works once I get water and the return pump in there. Scary... Link to comment

Sounds similar to your last two tanks Maybe you were missing the yellow, but lots of pink and green softies. Its surprising how many softies I actually have in my main tank that I can move frags of into this new tank. Here's the tentative stocking list before buying anything else: 4 Gorgonians Superman mushroom Teal mushrooms Blue and purple mushrooms (frag tank) Green stripe mushroom Fuzzy mushroom Pastel Rainbow Yuma GSP Xenia Gold Cloves Toadstool Zoas Blue ochtodes Caulerpa Red Grape Zia is going to send me macros and pink kenya tree and a guy in my local club offered me a piece of his beautiful blue sponge. Also, here's what I'd like in terms of fish: 2 H. Erectus Seahorses Green Clown Goby Yellow or Citrinis Clown Goby Hector’s Goby 2 Yellowheaded Jawfish Mated pair of Blue Neon Gobies All your DIY works why wouldn't this one? Because this is my first attempt at playing with water flow and plumbing? We'll see how it goes. I know I can build it and make it look nice. I just hope the water flows like I want and stuff.

Felicia Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Gluing acrylic! First two baffles in place and curing. 3 baffles! Fourth and final baffle in place. Just letting it cure now Link to comment
Felicia Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Nice calculator Yep, I've had it since 8th grade. Its been with me a long time I figured I should use it to double check that all my measurements were adding up and then it was serving as weight in the box. The box is my oh so high tech way of making sure I've got 90 degree angles. Link to comment

Felicia Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 The chamber set-up fits nicely! Now I just have to polish the tank and then I can silicone it all. Well I have to wait for the silicone to arrive from BRS first. My BRS package is supposed to get here next Tuesday. http://s289.photobucket.com/user/alatarie/media/IMG_3323.jpg.html'> Overflow and hold for the return http://s289.photobucket.com/user/alatarie/media/IMG_3320.jpg.html'> Link to comment

It's so profesh looking and has a precision fit. Good job on your measurements. Thank you! It really wasn't difficult at all so far. You could do it just as well! I'm just interested to see how siliconing all of this goes. I want to make it look really clean and neat on the tank side. The chamber side isn't as big of a deal. Link to comment

There's alot vids on youtube on it. Link to comment
