Hopefully it looks Ok in the tank or it's going to be awkward. 13 hours ago, jaynkeel said: Following as well. Remember the first build can only imagine what this one has in store.. Thanks for the follow. I'm looking forward to this one. 12 hours ago, Nic said: Following. I've been a member on this board for quite some time. There are a few names and tanks that have stuck out over time and your first shallow tank inspired both of my shallow builds. I'm still working toward the minimalist simplicity you made appear effortless. Apparently simple is not my natural state. Haha Thanks, shallow tanks are the way. 1 Quote Link to comment

I hope so anyway, getting this tank built has been an adventure to say the least. 3 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully there are no issues with take 3. The builder (and I) have just had some crazy bad luck with the glass, it's 12mm as well, so it's not some skinny panes. Oh well. Onwards we march. I started cycling my main rock in the sump so long. 17 hours ago, jbb_00 said: Apparently something crazy from what i read . 5 Quote Link to comment

4x5 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 June 12, 2017 Update; Do I win a prize for the longest pre tank build thread ever or what? It's borderline embarrassing. Fingers crossed the tank should be done today or tomorrow, the final touches are currently being added. In other news my beloved Trachyphyllia somehow got blown into my Acans, let's just say it's Acans 1 : Trachy 0 - it should survive but it was smashed on the one side. The rock is pretty much cycle now though, so that's good news. More soon! (I hope). 1 Quote Link to comment
