Chadf Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Only 20?.... geez slacker I can tell you're not a 4 yr old asian lol Lol, it's not it the only thing I work on. We are busy year round building rail car loading racks, we built one of these 5,000 feet long last year. That was like a three month 60 hour a week job. Railcar or truck platforms? That sucks about the coal mine fire.Exactly. Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The first qualification I did at my job was working in the tank farm and loading railcars. Link to comment

Chadf Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 tang? Black axil chromis and maybe a lyretail anthias. Not positive on the anthias though, may do a Midas blenny instead but I'd rather get the anthias. Link to comment

Damn, that looks like alot of fun manual labor, not surprising it took that long. I'd imagine its mostly bolt-up right. Link to comment
Chadf Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 They're built in around 30' sections. All the hand rails bolt on, the stair sections bolt on, the chair sections are one piece that bolts on. We do all the fabbing and welding in the shop where I work, then it gets shipped out and bolted together. Link to comment

Yeah I kinda figured it was done in sections atleast on something that big, seems like it'd be pretty rough tryin to haul something of that size down the road That is pretty sweet tho, do you do a little of it all or specialize in one aspect of it.... bolting/welding or design? Looking at your attention to detail I wouldn't be surprised if its design time or a mix of it all. Link to comment

Any fish can jump, I have read MANY stories about clowns jumping even. FWIW my anthias always hung around the middle area of the tank only leaving during feeding time and when the male was courting females. If you want just one anthias I say go for it, if it jumps then no more anthias lol Link to comment
Scorched Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I did a screen for the top of my tank for when I'm not around. I take it off for viewing and taking pictures since it looks better that way. Keeps the Midas inside when Im gone though. Otherwise if you aren't doing sps maybe you could do a dwarf angel.

BattleAthletics Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Btw I've broken a loading ramp once lol I was on a trackmobile engine and the ground man forgot to check if the ramp was up. Bent the shit out of it. Aluminum is hard to weld on, your a Badass if you weld aluminum. Do you have a personal machine where you can make extra income? I'm assuming the next build you do will have a metal stand? Link to comment
Steelen Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Chad for personal stands! Haha. Looks amazing the work you do. Alu is damn hard to weld. Link to comment

Don't worry, plenty of people forget to raise the bridges I've never had the need for a personal machine, if I ever need to weld or make something I just do it at work. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Heyyyyy you copied scorched before I could copy scorched... The month of May won't come soon enough! Following Link to comment
patback Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I always loved the acares midget chromis. If I wasn't attached to my fish I'd get rid of them and just have a shoal of 4 or 5 in my 12l, nothing else. Link to comment
Scorched Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Heyyyyy you copied scorched before I could copy scorched... The month of May won't come soon enough! Following Why do you have to wait until May? Are you moving or getting some extra funds together? Link to comment
