Dan do you have any angels in your tank?

Hey Ramzy...nope, no nippers for me. Although there are some beautiful fish, I haven't got the nerve, no matter how much the dark side calls. But I've got to admit the pull is strong :worried: Are you thinking of a replacement for the cherub?

I drew up some plans and gave them to YR in Roseville. I drew a corner overflow (60x30x24/60x36x24) as well as an overflow centered on the short side with the same dimensions.

Your stand looks very well made. Is there anything you can add about the craftsmanship of the stand?

I have the capabilities to construct aquarium furniture. I just don't think it would come out that nice.

Were you in there yesterday?

It seams that I might be forced to use Lee Mar based on the dimensions of the tank. Not like that is a problem or anything. There are just some specifics that I must have. I have been told Visio will not build long tank with eurobracing.

I will defiantly have to take the stand construction into consideration. I have always complained of access under my tank. Thanks for the info.

Mark,

I visit YR at least once a week. Brandon said he would introduce me if you were ever in the store. I just moved here from Yuba City, and I got started in the hobby with a lot help from Rob M. at (UP). Your name did come up in converstion while I was at YR, and Brandon did mention you were just in the store.

Hi Dan, yeah im thinking about another angel for my tank once I get the 6 line and blue tang out. I agree they're very colorful and dark side pull is definitely strong :lol: Do you think a regal would be okay in a 67g? I would love a small red sea regal. :fish1:

Resist the Dark Side Ramzy :lol: Nah, just kidding...someday I **might** adopt a pair. I'd say with a 67g you're pushing it with a large angel, but I'm certainly not qualified to render an opinion. Maybe Kenny, Mark, Brian or any other nipper guy can chime in.

EARTHQUAKE :eek2:

Just lost about 1 - 2 gallons. Some spilled on my on my Universal Power Supply and tripped the GFI. Lost a bunch out of the swimming pool.

[scaryperson27]

Hope the tank is okay! Do you have a backup generator in case of emergency?

The more I research these cool angels the more I want some :lolspin: If I do get one ill stick to the dwarf species. I feel sad for a big fish in a small tank, its the main reason why "Dory" is going to another tank. Hopefully Kat gets her tank set up already, its taking her forever LOL....I hope she doesn't read this i dont wanna get in trouble LOL :wildone:

Wierd earthquake, there was no jolt just a swaying/rolling motion. No damage to the tank. Didn't realize that there was an earthquake thought that I was getting light headed then my wife shouted "Earthquake".

NexDog: I can only imagine. We get our share in Cali but I'm pretty sure you get more.

Ramzy, I do not have a generator but I do have an inverter that I can plug into my car should something happen.

Heard about this and was thinking of all you Cali guys, glad everything is OK! :thumbsup:

On another note I heard the earthquake was so strong that a stripper fell off of Jesse James lap! :eek2: No worries though, she promptly jumped back on once it stopped.

At least it was only water. We had a wind storm last night that ripped my shed door off and it to a few piece. The door was steal too :eek1:.

Bummer!

So on both your points: Sticking on a dwarf species and fearing your GF (or wife)...I agree :lol:

Thanks Austin. I think that there is a short pole joke in there somewhere :lolspin:

Damn Brian. Are wind storms a frequent occurance? We get high winds sometimes but not often.

 

[DanW]

Bummer!

Yeah, my Vortechs & Tunzes are hooked up to my UPS. Luckily I was home to dry it off and reset it. Was kinda worried as I pushed the reset button but all is well.

Sorry to hear Dan. One Question, why do you have so many devices hooked up to your UPC? Wouldn that create more draw which would run the battery down quicker?
