brad908 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 did you see where mr aqua now makes the low iron version of their 50g... i had a wtf moment a few months after i bought mine. The 53 gallon? Nice stand, man!Thanks, let's hope it doesn't break! If it stands for a week fully loaded, it should be good for at least a year, right? Tank is currently full of sand and about 75% full with water. Link to comment

Also on that note ada makes frosted back aquariums, didn't realize that until recently. Link to comment

I remember they used to, and they used to have some tanks with overflows, but haven't seen them on their site in a while. Link to comment

I just checked out aquariumswest and it seems they dont have either listed now, bummer they did have the 120f listed, thatd been a crazy tank I have never seen one set up though. Link to comment
JR! Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Think this thing will have water running by the time I get home from work? Cus it better be. Link to comment
brad908 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Think this thing will have water running by the time I get home from work? Cus it better be. Nah. I have to make more water when I get home. Give me till like 7 pacific time for the display to be filled. John at Reef Cleaners and I agreed to cancel the rock shipment since he doesn't get refunded for shipping costs, and we aren't trying to make this another failure. Link to comment

spazizz Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have two tanks surrounding my TV just like this. I received a canon 40mm 2.8 pancake lens today, pretty awesome cheap tiny lens. Not even sure if it is an inch long. Just some quick snap shots, can't wait to really test it out. Current state of the living room Link to comment
brad908 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Is there a pump you guys recommend for the mame? Seems wasteful to turn this one down so much. Probably about 4 feet from pump to mame Link to comment
brad908 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I talk myself into pretty cool things late at night. My apex somehow died since the last time I used it http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/95A82D4F-EC85-43C9-9ED3-66DE037FA85F_zpsq1w01njf.png.html'> Link to comment
