[pwhitby]

[pwhitby]

[Gwalker]

Great!!! Sounds like a good time for a free frag and beer party over at Pauls house!!!!

BYOFB- (bring your own frag bags)

 

[captbunzo]

Woot! I'm in!!!

 

[pwhitby]

I have every confidence in my attack damsels

 

[poke75]

DizzyDezzi has already taken the damsels to help cycle her tank.

bwayne has taken all the live rock he needed.

I saw the pictures!!!!

Rumor has it some stuff is going down tonight!

 

[pwhitby]

well....I finally returned home and made a start on moving stuff over:

Heres where I am currently at.

and for perspective, heres my old hood on my new tank:

Still have a lot to do, such as catch and move the fish over, fill in the gaps with rock and do some re-aquascaping.

Also need to work on the lights and get them set up better.

The 100g sump, 50g filter housing and the 75g refugium are all up and running.

its getting there

Looking good!!! I wish my tank was that big!!!

 

[Gwalker]

Well how about a shot from the left end to get the full 8' depth look....

 

[pwhitby]

Some people are judt never happy......

How about tomorrow Gary?

Better still, come by and see...

 

[captbunzo]

Very cool. And on a bright note for myself, I got a new panel siliconed in the end of my 55G tank tonight. Should hopefully be filling it back up next weekend.

(sorry for hijacking - you may now resume your regularly scheduled thread)

Paul, the tank looks awesome... Seems you have an air stone in there ?? I am guessing it's a temp setup until your skimmer is on line ?? Do you know about how much rock you have in there ??

 

[pwhitby]

that was the bubbles created from the temporary return from the sump, it wasnt an airstone.

I estimate about 400-500lbs.

 

[jett06]

went by there to go see it that thing is ginormous and beautiful

 

[alien9168]

Paul your tank is amazing!

Its hard to believe---based on how good it looks already-- but i know it will be even better! :thumbsup:

 

[pwhitby]

Its getting better and better....

I do however want to rework the LHS, its too steep...but that can wait till after I have stripped the old tank out completely.

I have 30lb rocks with dozens to hundreds of mushrooms on.
I have one watermelon rock with at least 250 mushrooms....finding a holding space for all of those is tough.

anyhow....its getting there and the people who have come by seem to like it.
