tibbsy07 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I dig the tank jbb! Did you drill the tank yourself? I'm also confused as to what you meant by the line at the seam for your ATO system? Quote Link to comment

jbb Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Yeah Yeah Yeah Ive been way too busy to even keep up with a tank right now. Our Houston tech quit on us, so ive been making weekly trips down there (3 days at a time) to cover while also trying to keep up with my own schedule. I have one fish , 2 rock nems, 2 porcelain crabs, 2 starfish. Thats about it. 4 Quote Link to comment

I was out of town this weekend, will be gone next week, but maybe next weekend it'll get some life. Hopefully things ease up on you soon and you get some time to your self. Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Helloooooo !!! Back from the dead. Im finally getting time to work on this. @Type-H20 found a killer deal on 12x12 stands on Amazon for only $50, so i jumped on it. Unfortunately they seem to be $50 for a reason. The hardware that comes with them isn't enough to even complete the build, and even if they provided the proper amount its all cheap crap. SO I drilled for pocket screws, and added some wood glue, and I am much happier with it. I also have a custom overflow coming from @Oceanbox Designs , can't wait for that to arrive. Here is a pic of the stand, trying to decide between paint, or a matte clear coat. I would like to apologize to @UNS for taking so long to get this going. They were gracious enough to give this away, I dont want them to think it went to waste. 6 Quote Link to comment

Look at the bright side, it saved you from having to breath in all that sawdust if cutting the panels yourself (That's how I see mine, anyway) Quote Link to comment

Thinking of going the caribbean biotope route. Would love to do SPS but i can't seem to get levels stable enough to keep them alive. Maybe one of these days i will get there, but for now i just want a tank that i can enjoy and not constantly worry about. 2 Quote Link to comment

I did a caribbean biotope a while back definitely one of my favorite builds. Look forward to seeing yours come together. 2 Quote Link to comment
