Bobalouy Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Finally got this beast quiet! One more trip to good ol home depot. And then I will be done. Now one more problem, my wife is about to go into labor any day now. Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 damn that tank is clean. Hope you scaping goes with it.Its kinda hard to find corals that go with a lighter background. God I sound like a chick sorry to hear about your car,a quick trip to the scrap yard should sort it out Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 the tank looks pretty sweet! congrats on the soon to be new baby! Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks guys, the inspiration came for a japanese tank I saw a while ago So the aquascaping will look something like that. Link to comment
IPv6Freely Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hey, I noticed all of a sudden your tank had black edges... did you paint them? Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Haha good eye, I was waiting for someone to notice. I wanted black silicone but couldn't find one. So the other night I put some black vinyl sticker material on the corners. Update - GETTING MY SAND AND LR TOMORROW!!!! Link to comment
IPv6Freely Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I also wanted black silicone. The LFS here told me AGA discontinued black silicone on non-custom tanks... seems stupid to me. if anything they should discontinue clear silicone **EDIT** Oh hey dude, youre the guy with the sexy 1g pico Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I emailed AGA, and they gave me an item number. But my LFS also insisted they didn't make them. And wouldn't order one. At the time I was in a rush to get this tank setup. But now its almost a year later I should have waited and found one. Link to comment

Ah well, my next tank will be custom anyway (to be built by aquariumobsessed, located in my home town) when i move back to canada Link to comment
IPv6Freely Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 yay Canada!!! Tim yay Canada, indeed! Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Finally its done...well just about. Added 20lbs. of Figi LR and 30lbs of Aragamax sugar sized sand. Also picked up a CPR SR2 Skimmer. The sand is still settling and my eyes are still adjusting to the 14k MH. Still need to learn how to photograph this thing Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 OMG BEAUTIFUL!!!! Finally.. lol Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 After all the dust settled... The rock from my nanocube will go on the left, to create more of a slant. Link to comment
DudE31 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 wow that tank looks so sweet Link to comment
rna Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Bobalouy, you plan to put any nozzles or loc-line on the returns or are you going to leave it the way they are? how is flow with just the bulkheads? Link to comment
VITARTE Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 How about a current picture of the back of the tank. I'm still trying to figure out how you hooked up the lower drain to the existing plumbing on the back. Great looking set up. Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 rna - I was going to get some nozzles when I got my rock, but the LFS was all out. The flow is ok without them, but it is digging holes in the sand in the front corners of the tank. vitarte - I never took a final pic, but I did make a diagram to show someone on a local forum. Basically just a second external durso, I had to put the 45's in to go around the top drain. Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Finally figured out the white balance on my camera. One hitchhiker maybe a pest anemone, also found 2 more mushroom looking blobs. Link to comment
