Sweet, road trip to Lincoln in the near future.
I hope to have things back together sometime in the next few months. As soon as I get to that point I would definitely be up for a tank tour to have you guys come check it out in person.
Im not using my moving light rail anymore, if you wanted to try it out you are more than welcome to have it. Its about 8+ feet of rail and electric trolly. I have no more use for it.
Thanks for the offer. Once I get the 300g moved into the fish room I'll have a better idea of how things will layout in there.
That's a LOT of pictures, Alan! pretty interesting the transformations our tanks go through in a couple of years, both from equipment and livestock points.
I'll be curious what the AAs do for you. Is that the only supplement you ordered? I will be getting some as well, and also a bottle of Pohl's to try out, but I have decided to switch to vodka dosing in an attempt to save money on GFO, and I don't want to change so much at once. Keep us updated in the meantime.
Yeah, it's nice to go back and revisit the build progress and realize how small of frags I started with. So many equipment changes, but I guess that's the hobby right?
I ordered two bottles of the Salifert Amino Acids. I'm not sure how it compares to the zeo or other brands, but hopefully it's similar. At least to the point where I'd see something if it was AAs. I am dosing those at the recommended levels once per week from the bottle. I am now feeding the following 3x per day:
- Reef Chili
- Coral Frenzy
- Ardent Cyclop Eeze
- Ocean Nutrition Formula 1 pellets & flake
- Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 pellets & flake
- Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef flake
- Selcon
- A squirt of more amino acids
- Hikari frozen mysis shrimp
- Ocean Nutrition frozen clam cube
- Ocean Nutrition frozen algae mix
All mixed together w/ RO water and frozen in small serving containers
wow...this is a great looking system. one question, how did you do the front of the wall?
does the tank stick out 1/2" from the framing to be flush with the drywall? or is there a 1/2" ledge on the trim?
Thanks. The tank rests at the very front edge of the stand, so it has a 1/2" ledge with the drywall. I guess the biggest woodworking challenge is notching it out to fit around the plastic trim on the tank and sit flush against everything to look nice.
Very nice Alan! Great photo and video work also. It's easy to get trigger happy with those DSLRs huh?
Looking forward to the hot tub build thread :lmao:

You know it. Good thing it wasn't in speed shooting mode or we'd be on page 40 by now
