Polarcollision Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Oooooooooooo....... Purdy.. Love your scape.. Good looking tank too. Following Where did your rock come from? Thanks! I got it from Saltwater City in Redmond, WA. All the little notches lock together well, so I'm hoping to get a couple towers and a bridge or two assembled. Found out the hard way that it does not drill well... :-) Quote Link to comment
GHill762 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Oh.. So it's not from an online vendor.. It looks like really nice rock. I know you said it's not really a "scape" yet but it looks pretty damn good IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment

I know you said it's not really a "scape" yet but it looks pretty damn good IMO. I think it's pukani rock if you wanted to purchase online. I tried to get tonga branching rock from BRS, but it ended up being waaaay too big for the tank. Bummer. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cameron6796 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Looks good i like the sand how it's all wavy, why is it so dark in one side though Quote Link to comment
MooseBranch Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nice! This tank will look awesome knowing how your Nuvo 8 was Quote Link to comment

Polarcollision Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you had a great holiday and are sitting back with full bellies and a nice buzz. Looks good i like the sand how it's all wavy, why is it so dark in one side though I was hoping to sell the Razor and get a second Hydra to light that side. IDK now that it's not selling... Maybe I'll just raise and center the single hydra and light my living room as well. LOL! Nice! This tank will look awesome knowing how your Nuvo 8 was :-) Might take as long too! This is gonna be nice! The thing I like the most about the long footprint is more room for fish to swim. I'm kinda leaning toward stocking with swaying corals like the torch. So soothing to watch.

Cameron6796 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Depends on your rock work to if its more central maybe the edges being lit doesn't matter and you will have to avoid Corals on edges 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 wonderful piece of furniture to compliment your tank and even better that it has some functionality. Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 wonderful piece of furniture to compliment your tank and even better that it has some functionality. After living on a sailboat, I think I'm obsessed with the idea that everything I own has to serve at least two functions! LOL I've just discovered a new (to me at least) member of the clean up crew. It eats the green film that can cover soft corals. Pretty sweet! It's kinda scary looking. Here's the best pic I could find on google. Anybody happen to know what it is? Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Well, well. It's a marine milipede! Don't know. Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yikes its soo... Unique I'd put money on it showing up in nightmares tonight... Well, well. It's a marine milipede! Don't know. Ha! marine millipede is a good description! :-) I lucked out with finding a post way back in 2006 with links to this page about dorvilleidae. some look similar... maybe. Ewww! Then there's this one and this one. Quote Link to comment

jbb Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 On that kick ass stand , Can you please measure the interior dimensions of the side with the door . Thanks Also the name of it would be nice too . Thanks Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Sig update soon! Glad to have you along! Can you put this tank in your signature? Following! It's 11" D x 16.75" W x 26.25" T. There's a 1" lip on the front and the door is .75" thick, so you'd have to take it off hinges to get full use. I think they discontinued. Getting a 24???! On that kick ass stand ,Can you please measure the interior dimensions of the side with the door .ThanksAlso the name of it would be nice too . Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment
akaeding Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 How do you like the wp25? 1 Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 How do you like the wp25? Flow is too much. Had to get a volt reducer to prevent sand from blowing around. After that mod, I love the random flow and wave action! I thought about getting the mp10, but for the savings this is definitely my choice. I hear the wp10 is out so I might downgrade and drop the volt reducer at some point. Quote Link to comment
gena Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Awesome setup! I like the new signature a lot . That worm looks like a bobbit worm. Is it really fast? Like, REALLY fast??? If so, I'm pretty certain that's what it is. I don't think all bobbit worms are bad. Yours sounds like it might be helpful . 1 Quote Link to comment
