^+1^

Come on dom,not fair mate:)
Excited for you buddy!
hehehe I guess you'll have to wait and see Perry and Mike :D I'm super excited though and this one should turn out to be a killer build :rollface: the fish aren't going to know what to do with themselves haha

Most of the rock I bought is the real reef rock and it's going to start getting treated as of Monday :) A good wash and a soaking in RO for a few days :) no live this time! We ain't having no algae!

Oh the drama builds, it's ok, I love surprises, and I am sure using real reef rock to start, that you are stoked! I love projects, and setting up new systems :) Well, I guess I will stand by and bite my fingernails in anticipation, lol... Cheers and congrats Mate !!!

Yep, I'm going to quietly build the drama on this one :p no reveals until it's wet and running! lol I'll take pics along the way though so when I do no one misses out :lmao:
It's pretty groovy looking stuff and I think I'm going to enjoy having mature looking rock from the start, it seems really porous too which is really nice :) I've got what I think is a solid plan of action laid out, with the help of our lovely friend Andrew so hopefully that means things will go smoothly having a second opinion :) lol
 
Not sure if this can be answered without violating the UA, but for those of us in the New World.....what is Fanta Pants?

Obviously some form of Aussie joke, but since you guys have a warped and twisted sense of humor like I do, I'm curious.....

Fanta Pants!?!
Curiosity officially piqued...
Hahahaha sometimes I forget you guys are on the other side of the world and may not know what some slangs are :lol:
I'm not sure on the exact origins of the term but it's to do with the carpet matching the curtains and this wonderful fizzy orange beverage, I'll let your imagination fill in the gaps ;) :lolspin:

Haha very precise explanation there dom! love it. May i suggest the substitution of the fanta can for something like a sunset monti :p which also happens to be thriving in your tank
 
LOL....

We have Fanta here on this side of the world as well, and my brother is hardcore Ginger like yourself.....but I've never heard the reference to Fanta Pants.

My brother also rocks the full angry red beard like you've got as well...I just call him Osama O'Leary, the Irish Al-Qaida terrorist.

Thanks for the explanation.....like I thought, you guys are a bit off in the head like me.

hahaha I think the looks I get would get a whole lot weirder if I started using sunset monti pants :lolspin:

It must be an Aussie thing, we're a bit special down here :wildone: It must be all the being upside down and the blood going to our heads :spin1:

Osama O'Leary is brilliant!! I love that hahaha

Definitely ;)
 
In some other news, I currently have all my new rock in a box soaking in RO with a pump. I'll be doing a 100% RO change tomorrow evening and yesterday morning they all got blasted with the hose on full to wash them off, fair bit of crud and dust came out lol


Nearly all of it is Real Reef Rock but there were two nice flatish pieces of CaribSea so I grabbed those two as well :) It's exactly 20kg of rock but I don't necessarily plan on using all of it!


I spent this morning cleaning out and organising the study ready for the tank! I spend most my life there as it's my work station and gaming station lol so the tank is going to be in the perfect place! And for some reason my phone camera has made it look like I live in a Dr. Seuss house haha the wall is actually straight I promise!
 
Hey Dom!

good to read, but am i the only one seeing no pictures? :hmm5::confused:

RC staff recently decided to remove image viewing privileges from all Austrian based members Flo, apparently they felt it was a waste of forum bandwidth......:twitch:

Camera's don't make one wall bend sideways while the rest stay vertical Dom - i reckon there's a black hole forming on the other side of that wall........ ;)

There does seem to be a strange warping in the fabric of time and space, maybe you're right :uhoh3:

The problem with you Austrians is you're all missing an "al" right after the Austr :lol:

They must have lol I'm not sure why they wouldn't have shown for you though
 
Jaja just keep hitting the little Austrian :D
I blame it all on the computer!!
Not my fault it didn't show me the pictures

And Dom:
There is nothing missing in Austrian :D
Just fine ^^
