Hexadron Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Okay, I never thought I should search for this, but eBay+Dollhouse Garden = Majestic. Not sure how many items are 'reef safe' materials mind you, but dayum. Thinking of you Kat! Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Etsy is where I got most of my stuff. And those little things will make their way into the storyline at some point. Link to comment

Cameron6796 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Omg get the bird bath and fill it with white silicone and texture it. It can be like sponge bob, where they have running water... Underwater. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Ooooh Oooo Oooo, and make a makeshift umbrella, and put a mushroom on top! Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Right about now I'm wishing this was the white Cubey instead of black. Would have made this tree pop. Link to comment

Veng Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So looking at that picture it got me thinking, how do you plan to keep the GSP from eating the wagon and your flower pots? Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 So looking at that picture it got me thinking, how do you plan to keep the GSP from eating the wagon and your flower pots? I put the wagon on the GSP just last night, to give the GSP a chance to cover the bald spot in the front, previously the wagon was where the 3 pots are now. I'm going to move the wagon around so that the GSP doesn't grab it. Same with the pots. I'm not sure the GSP suddenly sprouts new flesh in the middle of the colony, I always thought it spread from the sides? I was wondering if a little sandy spot might be good for contrast, the wagon could sit on that. The sand would provide a little relief from the GSP. What do you think? Link to comment
Veng Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It normally grows from the edges, correct. If you covered a spot in the center, you might kill a small spot, and then you've got an edge for it to grow from. I have had it grow from the center when it was on a rock and it grows/launches "spouts" or "shoots" to go find something else to grow on. If it's a flat surface, it seems to just want to encrust, but I've never set anything on top of it like that. Just something to watch. As for sand, it seems to much prefer to go anywhere other than where the sand is, but it can slowly cross sand. I'm not sure how you'd get the sand to stay in a pile without some edging or something, but it could totally look cool if you could figure out the logistics. Link to comment

The picture above was my original thought/idea for the picket fence with a little area of sand. Trouble is that the picket fence is made of wood and floats. I have to glue it/anchor it down somehow.

metrokat Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Finally was able to get the flow rating for the stock pump in this tank. 55 gph Stock pump 60 gph Fountain pump that is currently in display as a powerhead 74 gph Smart ATO pump 47 gph Spare small fountain pump on hand 79 gph Tunze Mini (don't have, available online) Going to try the Smart ATO pump in here for the return, and the stock pump for the powerhead. I can use the small spare fountain pump as a second powerhead, it is rather tiny. Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Okay, it's not working out too well. The 60 gph pump won't fit the tubing of the Smart ATO. Link to comment

glennr1978 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Staghorn branches have been spray painted with krylon fusion Guess I'll be re-doing the tree this weekend. This the first time I've ever seen someone WANT to have brown coral, lol. Seriously, this has to be the most creative build I have ever seen. Very cool! Link to comment
MikeTR Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Take a lighter to it and melt it lol you dip it in boiling water and it will slide right on Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I hope you're ready for a metric ass-ton of blue clove polyps. The box is on it's way, I drove it up to the airport USPS office this evening! I split it up into 4 or 5 bags; it's a lot of little pieces and frags. Also, there are at least four or five of my favorite mushrooms, one implosion paly, and a small rock of radioactive dragon eye zoas. Who knows what else snuck in there. Hopefully it all survives! I can imagine all of it finding a good home in your uber creative new tank. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 you dip it in boiling water and it will slide right on Should thought of that I've done that before Link to comment
