I should also mention that unlike my last system, I will be incorporating a shallow sand bed. The sand I sourced is very nice stuff from the Philippines. I was in Bohol last December where I experienced the finest sand beaches I have ever seen. So having a little of the Philippines in my tank conjures up great memories! Also pleases the Pinay girlfriend.

So that is pretty much all I have for now.


Stay tuned...............

you haven't experience the sand from "Boracay" Philippines? It is the finest of them all... try checking it out next time your in the country... nice planning! Will definitely tagged along... God bless!

Unfortunately I have not but my GF has and she concurs. We were there around December which is peak season for Boracay. We could not get a flight there. I will post some pics later.

Who's Porsche is that? Did you buy it or is it really for sale?

I did not buy it and it is no longer for sale. Funny story about it. I was at the LeMans race at Laguna Seca last Oct and I saw this thing roll into the Porsche corral. Everybody descended on this car immediately. It had no problem distracting people from drooling at the RS', GT2's and GT3's. It was like paparazzi with all the flashes going off. I immediately recognized it as the same car when I saw it for sale this summer. I pulled up my LeMans photo album and compared pics. Same car... In the end I just felt the sticker was way too high for what lies underneath that body kit. I also was not that impressed with Cayman's power when I drove my buddies. It handles like a dream but just lacks in power compared to many cars on the market today including the e46 M3 or even 335 for that matter.
 
Techart kit on the Cayman?

And some love for the car fanatics. It was a down payment on this or the tank. The sacrifices I make for this damn hobby!! Are Porsche's affected by AEFW?

Woa, you went to the LeMans race? So did I! My group (NSX club) actually got to take a lap around Laguna. We thought it would be slow paced but the lead cop kept signaling us to go faster. Man, it was awesome!

335xi with the dinan stage II package would be my choice... sorry don't mean to be off topic but since you were talking cars I thought I would add my .02 cents.. Oh and nice tank btw :D
 
I agree 100% about the caymen lacking under the hood. Sweet looking whip, but so many times folks get caught up in looks. Sure it "looks" cool (and I know they handle great), but they aren't that powerful when compared to other options.

I personally really like the new M3's :) But they aren't cheap.....

Tank's looking great so far!! Very cool :smokin:

Haha just gotta be careful not to drop the engine out the bottom of the car going through that corkscrew!

It was a Cayman S if I remember correctly. Either way still underpowered.

Nope...those are probably just oil coolers or radiator. Even if it was a turbo,need to put it into context....turbo lag can kill a car's overall performance on certain tracks. Also worthy to note that the M3 was voted best handling behind the R8 in a decent group of cars in the latest Motor Trend. Porsche was like 5th (surprisingly).
 
wow they fooled me.

im personally not into 70,000 cars. atleast now that i only have $100 in the bank lol.

my 527hp vw gti is way more than i can handle. ive beeten many m3s, porsches, supras...

but i cant really use it as a daily driver though, race gas isnt cheap :( and pump gas ill run maybe 440hp
 
There has been progress in the past week despite my inactivity in posts. Below is a camera phone photo teaser. Fairly pleased with the aquascaping considering I just threw the rock in the tank as fast as possible to get things going. It is amazing what a difference having this much space to work with makes! The options are endless.

Those are Zero Edge Lamp Trees behind the fixture. Waiting on a custom single head to attach the fixture too. This should be a lot sturdier than having the two 10" heads you see here.
