Anderson Family Reef - 1200 Gallon System

[worm5406]

So the skimmer was half mast today while I was doing my quick visual once over on the tank so I looked in the sump and found a half of a soggy taquito floating against the barrier...
Anyone know if taquitos are bad for an SPS reef tank?

With or without guacamole?

I use the weld on solvent to attach the sheets of acrylic together...:beer:

Do you have to flame polish the edges of acrylic before you weld it together or can you just make sure the edges are smooth enough? I am new to this and I have heard conflicting advice on this. Do you ever sell acrylic projects to others in your area? Would you suppose their is enough of a market for this stuff,[IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME].
Thanks.

The fish looked hungry so your son handled it. After all he was just helping you out.

Sounds like your clean up crew is to small

And I thank him!! :wave:

Good point buddy! May have to get one of those giant hermit carbs to handle the unexpected!!

I'm sure the tangs in the sump grazed the guacamole off of the top first! Hehehe!!:beer:

I always scrape or route my edges before I glue them together. For the best edge you want the smoothest squared off edge as possible. (Flame polishing rounds the edge in my experience). Sometimes I sell acrylic projects when I have the time. There are many players in this market but still some room for others I suppose.

Kind regards,
Dave

All I can say wow hopefully someday I can have a tank that huge and stocked

I live just north of the border between Milwaukee and Chicago so im not really in your market.
Id be hoping to get my bank account going in the opposite direction by funding my project with my projects.

When did,[only just begun] in our minds, become[too much already] in someone else's?

Right on!! Not sure I like shipping that much... It took a ton of time to do it right with the winter considerations. Check back in the summer! :wave:
