Oh, how awful. So sorry to read about your tank cracking, it was looking so great too.

 

Best regards

NO, not another cracked tank!!!

 

I hope everyone on Nano-Reef feels your pain.

 

I think this contest should be voided completely.

 

Far to many contestants have lost their tank & livestock.

 

Down with Nano-Cubes

 

Down with JBJ

 

Sledgehammer party at my office tomorrow, smash the 6!!!

I'm going to have to put your boycott jbj link back in my sig.

Your entry was outstanding... the winner so far, imo. I am so glad I did not buy one of these.

 

Sorry you lost those corals. ..at least this will be another nail in jbj coffin. Hopefully no one else will suffer the crappy product they produce. jbj is doing so much more harm than good for this hobby.

brianemone: Thanks for that comment. Yep I am trying to acheive my vision!

ashburn: Hmmm, tad too long? LOL

Here is my first addition to my tank. My LFS had huge beautiful piece and I noticed two sections where it looked like it broke off. So I asked owner, if I can buy the pieces that broke off if they had it and he gave it to me for $20. I guess I am lucky!!!!

Thanks!

 

oogie,

 

How did you glue those frags on the stone? I am assuming that you left the stone in the water?

 

And, what is the glue?

 

Thanks.
