brad908 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Wish I could find a rimless 36x16x12, think that would scale to the room better. Might reach out to SCA for another custom tank if the 48x18x14 looks out of place. Planning peninsula style and it will act as a room divider between the front door and rest of the living room. 3 Quote Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Started shaping the mangroves again to get them to start grow side to side more. Right now they’re 25-26” side to side. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I've seemed to have lost mine when I moved house :/ Quote Link to comment

Just gotta make sure it’s not too tight or the mangroves will scar as they grow into the wire. _________________________ New tank update - we had the house inspection today so I measured out how my 48x18x14 would look as a livingroom divider and think I need to go with a 36x18x12 tank. Have two quote requests out and hope to have a company start on a tank ASAP. 2 Quote Link to comment

I did email them but haven’t received anything back. ____________ I just ordered a UNS 75s, it is about 30”x18”x12”, pretty close to what I was hoping for. Found it in stock on one website, so figured I would put in the order now 3 Quote Link to comment

The UNS is going to be freshwater mangrove tank. I’m just going to put this 60F in the middle of the UNS tank and cut out the seams of the 60F. Leave the glass bottom of the 60F in the UNS. Then lay a fresh layer of Fiji Pink sand and plant vallisneria torta (basically a sea grass). Saltwater tank will either be the 48x18x14, or I have a Landen 60p Quote Link to comment

Freshwater tank will just be super basic, variety of tetras and maybe some gold longfin danios. Also some sort of combo of fire red cherry shrimp, yellow goldenback shrimp and/or Sunkist orange shrimp. Not sure on the 60p saltwater tank besides the Clownfish I’ve had for a few years now. ______________ Tank update - sent the t5/led Nanobox hybrid and Nanobox duo to Dave today for some updating. I wanted to do a nice quartz countertop for the UNS tank but think I might go a much cheaper route after seeing some porcelain pieces today. We are replacing the countertops in the new house, so will try and get as close to those as possible. Quote Link to comment

Finally got my refund back last night from the original 75s I ordered. ___________ New floors went into the house yesterday, and today I will be building the stand. Moving into the house on Saturday.
