Orangutran Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I actually saw the overflow like this on a tank here and didn't want to lose too much space with an overflow box, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the compliments on the scape, I'm pretty happy, now I want all those rocks to be covered with amazing colours. This is actually my first tank that will have coral and a sump. About 10 years ago I had a FOWLR tank, nothing special, just a couple of clowns and an anemone. But I did love it none the less. I'm more patient now ( not really ), so I'm willing to take it slow and do it right. Haha. I guess once in awhile, you can shut off the main pipe and let the water drain into the emergency one to skim the surface? There is something therapeutic with exposed LR too, so a nice balance of colour and LR is cool! Yeah, we are all impatient when it's the first tank, like being a virgin! lol We take it slow when experienced! Quote Link to comment

Yep, easy enough if need be. There is something therapeutic with exposed LR too, so a nice balance of colour and LR is cool! Yup, there is beauty in everything if you look for it. Yeah, we are all impatient when it's the first tank, like being a virgin! lol We take it slow when experienced! That or we drink more beer. Quote Link to comment
Orangutran Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Any good SA beers? lol 1 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Any good SA beers? lol The whole craft scene is starting to take off here which is great, finally we're starting to produce some good beers. Don't get me wrong, I'll drink the big brewery beers if need be, but gradually they are becoming worse and more mass produced. These guys have some good stuff - http://devilspeakbrewing.co.za/ and http://www.darlingbrew.co.za/ Every time I make it over to the North America I make sure I have a Rogue Dead Guy Ale, it's my favourite beer. 1 Quote Link to comment

Read this link: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/10/15/234914933/pucker-up-america-beers-are-going-sour Thanks for the link. It sounds truly bizarre, I'm not a cider fan so I have a feeling this might not be my thing. Quote Link to comment
nova423 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It does not really taste like cider, its really hard to describe. It is an acquired taste though, you either love it or hate it. Closest thing I can think of is its kind of lambic. Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'll give it a go if I can find some down here for sure. Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 I caught my other baby checking out the tank, trying to figure out why it was being neglected for the last while. 10 Quote Link to comment
