Dave ESPI Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 That tank sucks...... you need more rock. It needs more light. more corals. More, More , More ! ps: you still suck. :woot: J/K nice update bud. Link to comment
NepTuNe-UsD Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Hey I noticed that you and I have the same lighting fixture. I bought it off ebay- 2 x 55w PCs. Question: Does your fixture have a glass or acrylic sheet covering the lights or is it just bare? I had to add a glass sheet on top of my tank and it sucks. Also, do you set the lights directly on top of the tank or do you add a spacer to lift if off the top a little? Nice tank by the way... Link to comment
cmoreash Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 IT's got an acryllic cover to keep the lights dry. I keep it directly above the tank. I'm gonna add a halide soon though, and make a canopy Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 no need to make a new hood u can buy the legs from them for $10 and right now, i have a single 400w radium in it. Link to comment
cmoreash Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 Ah, but a new hood will give me something to do (I'm gonna go crazy if I don't get to build anything) Heh, and canopies can be nice looking Link to comment

Chromis Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Very nice cmoreash ! ! ! ! I know you told me before but I have forgotten. Where did you get that rock from? Link to comment
glazer Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 You got nice brains and yes, er *cough* sexy zoos! hehe Nice tank cmore... the aquascaping is sweet. Make sure you post a pic when you get your canopy built, gotta check it out Link to comment
cmoreash Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 Chromis, I got 45 pounds of live rock from fishsupply , and i've also bought around 12 pounds from Aquarium Arts. Mind you, most of that rock is in my 5.5g. Glazer, yea, my brains are doing great, but as you probably saw on RC, my zoos are melting away, and i have no idea what's wrong :*( more info I am HOPING to get started on the canopy next week sometime, I HOPE to have enough money for my halide by then, I want to get that first, then design my hood. I am thinking partially open in the back, having a few fans, and 2 opening hinged doors in the front. I'm not sure what kind of wood i want to use, but I am probably gonna paint it black, and the inside white. What kind of paint should I be using, and what won't melt on the inside of the the canopy? If i do paint, do I need to seal it with something too? Thanks a lot. Link to comment
glazer Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 cmore, Hard for me to recommend materials to use for finishing as I use industial/professional grade coatings and ya just can't pick that stuff up at Home Depot,hehe As far as wood goes...use what you can afford, personally for the aquarium enviroment my first choice is always mahogany. If you are just going to paint it I myself would use a good grade of plywood. You can trim out any exposed edges with solid wood or edge banding. Prolly best if you went with a quality oil-based paint and DEFINITELY prime it first... use mfg.'s recommended primer. Good sanding between coats is key as well... I would go a minimum of three coats inside and out. Something you might consider as well is using a black laminate, white for the inside. There is tons of colors and textures available and it holds up really well. I have done a few this way and then siliconed the inner joints of the hood to keep any moisture out. Did a hood this way over five years ago and it still looks brand new. Link to comment
reiple Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 very good looking feather polyps. yup they are pinkish and not white (something about the camera or light perhaps?). tank is great overall. it's young tank too right? Link to comment
cmoreash Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 Yea I set it up over the summer . Glazer, do you mean the sheets you stick in? That would reflect better than mirror metal sheet? Thanks Link to comment
