pgrVII Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Pushing it a kitchen in 3 days... :/ Ugh haha. I'm getting ready to clear out under the steps to make room for the water storage. I think I'm going to keep the 65g drum filled with rodi and a 300 heater,and one or two 5 gallon buckets with lids to keep made salt water on hand. Then bump water changes to 5 gallons a week. I think I'm gonna do primarily sps corals and some more zoas Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Random question - throwing WAY back to the stand construction. Your runners that support the legs, did you use tenons or just screw the runners in place? Link to comment
Lawnman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thank ya mam I've got it running it to a barrel out back and use it to water the garden, but out here water is so cheap it's not an issue,we pay 3.50 for every 1000 gallons after the first two, and here atleast if you call and tell them what your using it for,and that your irrigating with the waste they don't make you pay the sewer fee, as it's not going down the drain Our sewer rates get cut April thru Sept because people water lawns.

Your runners that support the legs, did you use tenons or just screw the runners in place? The legs directly contact the top, and go to the floor, but everything is glued and Kreged together, I wrote up a cluster#### of a PM, hit me back and Ill elaborate on what I didnt explain well Our sewer rates get cut April thru Sept because people water lawns. I never though of that, I had a good 30 min conversation with the water folks explaining my situation, even sent out a guy to check it all out, turns out he just wanted to see the setup... pretty boring at the water department I take it Took a few pictures today when I saw how clear the tank looked, after being down on the tank for the last few months, it was nice to come home to a clean, clear and happy tank. This SOB is getting big Finally captured the lucky charm lepto right, my favorite piece in the tank BOOM You can see the 2nd nem in the back And the FTS Link to comment
plainrt Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I thought you sent out that chalice already? I'll send you address again. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Damn - that was a GREAT response So your runners are just set in between the legs, pocket-hole screwed and glued. The legs are the same? Crazy. What makes the pocket hole screw and glue that much stronger than simply using wood screws to put everything together? Link to comment

What makes the pocket hole screw and glue that much stronger than simply using wood screws to put everything together?Hey man, sorry I dropped off there, life got going It's not stronger than screwing through one into the other, but it's hidden and you don't have screw heads to deal with Well I took the plunge, up to 9 fish now. Three new dart fish, one of which has already jumped into a bucket of top off water when I had the screen top off :/ I thought you sent out that chalice already? I'll send you address again. Your tank isn't lacking for color AT ALL! Link to comment

And when I add new fish,which is kinda moot cause I won't add anymore at this point. How do you like the dart fish? Don't stress bro it'll all be just fine. Link to comment

I hope to not need it, but I'll go ahead and look into that med. You've got room for a few more man... come on... the dart fish are awesome other than already having one jump when the screen top was moved aside, they really fill the open water space. Everything else is moving around in relation to the rocks, so far they are spending ~20% of there time looking around the rocks, and the rest up in the top of the water colum What up, G? Not much man, just got done with a few months worth of honey do list for the wife, so looking to get another project going here soon. How have things been going on your end Link to comment

Two clowns, a wrasse, and what? Thinking an anthias and possibly a dwarf angel OR a tang Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 So how many fish can I fit in a 45? Two clowns, a wrasse, and what? Thinking an anthias and possibly a dwarf angel OR a tang Until you out strip your bio filter or they start killing eachother. Not trying to sound like a dick, but it's really an up in the air thing. I'm over skimming to a rediculous degree, and have no sand to catch all the leftovers, so I'm pushing the envolope. Buts it's really a case by case thing, start slow and let things stabalize, then start adding every few months. Just think ahead and make sure your adding your bullies last Current fish: Mccoskers flasher wrasse ~1 year cardinal ~1 year two clowns 9 months and 6 months tail spot blenny 6 months dotty back 3 months Three bar gobies, dart fish, 2 days in DT Link to comment
pgrVII Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ugh no more fish for me lol. Honestly I'd be happy at this point with just the clowns even. I like my other fish don't get me wrong but the only fish I could say I really want are fancy African gumdrop coral crouchers. They are awesome. Glad the new additions are working out. The name of that stuff is herbtana by the way. Also on the fish front.... In the next few weeks I am hopefully gonna be putting a good sized order for coral in around 11 frags of sps and zoas so there may not be room in the tank lol. Link to comment

Man, I had hydroids come in on a ricordea I got from them. There were TONS. I ended up supergluing over them and haven't seen any since, but holy moly. Link to comment
plainrt Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You ever test drive fiesta? Took mine for Sunday drive yesterday. Damn near rolled it but that's minor details lol Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 You ever test drive fiesta? Took mine for Sunday drive yesterday. Damn near rolled it but that's minor details lol I havent, me and a buddy at work are going to soon, had plans to but shit got hectic Im afraid. That looks like a blast, you really tore it up man. My Grandma Margaret Porter Mavity is up playing fiddle for the angles. She was born in São Paulo, Brazil on July 5, 1923. She was one of the strongest women I have ever know, not a strength that competes with others, but a strength that supports, and empowers those she loved. Her faith was a thing to behold, a faith that would convince the most ardent skeptic of the love she felt so powerfully. I can usually come up with something eloquent to say, but I cant say how much it tears my heart apart to know shes gone. She is in a better place, but I cant help but cry like a baby for the fact that my grandma is gone. Link to comment
