[Euler Kernighan]

Like Dahenley says decent aquascape can hide a multitude of sins.

:lmao:

This is a fun build to follow regardless of what method you chose to go down, and there is no right or wrong way.

Thanks Matt! thanks to all you guys for help me!!!

Hi Bad! yep my friend! I just got over here in a business trip and took this opportunity to buy some equipments - and yeah, you can do the same by aerolineas argentinas, lan, tam, panama airlines, aa... just save money for equipments, luggages (you'll need - believe me ), hotel and rental services! and I must tell you: "Yes we can!" :thumbsup:

[Euler Kernighan]

I dont think that skimmer will be large enough, perhaps consider adding another!

Hey JM, gimme a shot, what do you suggest? I was wondering to run in parallel an alpha cone 300 so I can compare the two concepts too.
:headwalls:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

It was a pleasure meeting you Euler! Good luck with the build.

It's my pleasure guys! Thanks you all from World Wide Corals for help me in this build and if it is possible to say that a store located in another country is your local fish store, I can say that WWC is my lfs! :bounce3: :bounce2: :bounce3:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

That is a badass skimmer! Want to trade for my seaclone 150, LOL!!! The tank setup is looking awesome so far.

NJ,

Seaclone 150 is a good skimmer! you can do a lot of mods on it, right?

Btw, I watched your videos on youtube, what about that skimmate, uh?? are you sure about the trade?!?!?!?!?!?


:thumbsup:

Hi guys,

Just came back to BR on last Saturday (may-29th) and after a stressful week I got some time to update this thread.

I have to say that I have no big news on build, but I'd like to share with you guys this great experience as I dedicated a part of this trip to 'execute' my 'procurement plan'

You know what? I bought all equipments I need for this tank, so let's start with the luggages, yes! I can't check all the boxes but I checked seven luggages weighing 70 pounds / 32kg each!!! :debi:

blackberry photo...

Going to airport... bad traffic? rush hour? NO, that's 'regular' traffic down here in Sao Paulo/BR...

looking for my boarding room...

ok, ok, everything is ok! just found my seat:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

and after 8 1/2 hours... we touched down - thanks God!:

can you sleep in a flight??? sure? :furious: there was a guy that snored all the time... dammit! :headwallblue:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

...
so after take a long shower, eat something and sleep, I headed to World Wide Corals :spin1: :bounce3: :bounce1:

I have to thank Louis, Victor and Chris - Thank you for making me so welcome in your home! :thumbsup:


my bad... my camera is a peace of s.hit! If you'd like to see real corals, get into World Wide Corals:

that's the first time I saw a WHITE tang... rare!

guys, believe me I have a 'poor' point and shot camera, if you really like to see great corals and colors spend some time in WWC!

 

[Euler Kernighan]

ooh like the tank... he's cool

thanks Salty, stay tunned more to come!

 

[d3hree]

looks like a fun trip Euler, nice one.

 

[Euler Kernighan]

back on track!!!

back on track!!!

Hi Guys,

last month was very very stressful to me - you known, every single end of quarter means financial reports, do the billing, recognize them, you know... the fuc.ing same old ****! :debi:

but let me tell you guys the news, here is thing, after my last trip where I took the opportunity to buy all my equipments, I realized that would be necessary change my project - the footprint of skimmers and its height, the height of the pumps and oceans motions plus ball valves, all the piping and its position underneath the tank, in short, the project must be revised and modified. :headwallblue:

on my new posts I'll upload some drafts, please, feel free to criticize them.


ps: as I'm returning, I'll upload some pics from my trip, to give an idea of continuity, ok? :frog:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

that's what I'm talking about...


skimmer inside the car?!?! rs***

bed room on hotel:

 

[Euler Kernighan]

...everything on last post I bought from WWC in Orlando/FL. After that I got in L.A/CA and bought more stuff on SoCal Tropical Fish Outlet... dammit!

whata mess!!!!!

 

[Euler Kernighan]

I dont think that skimmer will be large enough, perhaps consider adding another!

I just got another, what do you guys think about two skimmers running in parallel?

pros/cons???

 

[Euler Kernighan]

Sweet equipment! WWC is awsome!

:thumbsup: yeah! WWC rocks! Victor help me on this. I'd like to buy some frags and fishes, but it is hard to bring them to BR. :worried2:


stay tunned!
