If the setup allows place the skimmer on the left hand side so you can crack the window and run the air intake outside. It can be a life saver for PH.

Although it's obvious to say the tank doesnt fit in this room, I love that the tank is the boss of this space...like it's saying 'don't nobody eat, sleep, watch tv in this room...if you're here then you're looking at me, dammit. Now feast your eyeballs on these clamshells."

Seriously, I heard it...

I sure hope it does speak that way to me.

Thanks dca. I had to have them. I might have to order more females as I noticed I have 2 males out of the ten I received.

I don't know where the air intake hose is on the skimmer. I have to look.

Still waiting to see the box. (hahahaha) I figured you would have take a picture of the inside being empty or something.

Those are some nice little fishes.

And lastly, the porch paint that I used at the slightest scuff would come up so I laid down a vinyl tarquette flooring. It said I needed a little over five boxes for the area I needed to cover. Now I see why.

Too bad i saw this so late. I too used a paint like that on the floor of my fish room, and after getting wet a few times it just chips up all over the place. I would have steered you toward the floor epoxy. They use it on garage floors, the stuff is bullet proof. Id like to redo my floor but id imagine i would have to get all the old paint up first.

Awesome build btw - subscribed.

The box will come in later after I finish the room. When I move it in it will be the last move unless I upgrade.

Thanks John. Someone suggested the garage floor epoxy but I love the look of the vinyl on the floor. Thanks for the heads up and the compliment.

I had to remove the AEFW damsel as it killed 3 of the red dot cardinals. Other than that everyone is doing fine.

Hope the anthias keep eating for you, they are beautiful.

Great progress and definitely +1 on the peninsula style.

Are you serious or sarcastic since this room is dedicated for the tank? Just curious and no intentions of being upset. Does everyone else feel the same way?

what is the record for number of post on a build thread with a dry tank?

 

[worm5406]

I think it is 1059

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Not. It's 1061.

Good luck with the anthias. I have 2 of the same ones and I have been very successful with them. They eat anything I feed them and eat well.

I think Dustin has you beat!
