Sk8n Reefer Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 sooo...when do we see this new tank of yours?It's alive ? actually been getting some work gone on it. Rocks in and moving along- it's not scaped yet. Been trading in colonies and moving some of the rock from the Nuvo over? there's a few shrooms that made it over and a small piece of my purple rimmed green cap that broke off the colony and a really small red encrusting Monti. Plenty of rock left in the Nuvo too Here's a quick pic from this weekend Wanted the wires to be hidden as much as possible so we hung a box, cut some holes in it and placed all the power strips inside. I'll be placing foam tubing around the outer cords to minimize their view also. The green little container is temporary to hold the ballast until next weekend when I can mount it Figured I should do something about this ? Hung the box and Lisa started accessorizing with........what else Tiki's ??? The framed piece is one type she makes - so is the small one in the 1st pic but it's hard to see Stoked to get the wiring hidden - just bundle up the outside ones, cover in foam tubing, label all the outlets and wiring should be good to go? Then it would be nice to have a door ? probably time this tank gets it's own thread Link to comment

Elizabeth94 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 You know, I am pretty jealous you get deer on your property. Most of the time I go hunting I always see deer crap but never the actual deer. So I just take the crap home instead. Ugh.. Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just got to my hotel in Tyson's Corner DC- time to go find some Sushi. Took a bunch of picture of the Nuvo last night and forgot to bring them?. My wife is on double tank duty ? it should be fairly easy for her just feed the tanks. I did water changes all weekend and changed out my GFO/Carbon in the reactor Link to comment

RollaJase Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Cute little brittle star. I just can't get over the diversity of life that we find in our tanks . Really digging the new tank set up also, the floating 'power box' that you made is really cool. Link to comment
