Sweet tank! Where did you get the hoses you used? Are they more flexable then Spaflex? Why three different type hoses?

Yes they are way more flexible then spaflex and they are stronger, not that the hose would break but they have a nice thick coil throughout.

I got the Kanaflex first to try it out. I l liked it and when i called back the were out but had the tigerflex, same thing different color. The Tygon hose i got to link the pumps to the sump, Its silicon hose, no vibration transfer.

Interesting idea about the silicone hose. I was just going to use flexible PVC..but I think since my tank is in a fish room, maybe it doesn't matter that much. I am trying to cut down on sound as much as possible though.

Just hitching a ride, and following the progress. In the mean time I will go back to my 55gal reef.

That is a beautiful stand and hood!!

It really helps with the sound. If you want a quiet tank i highly recommend it.

Here is another angle...

I upgraded my photobucket account, i was exceeding the free usage. So now my pics are bigger.. ill learn to resize them this week.

Alright i went to OceanPro and got my live rock.. cant beat cherry picking for $2.09 a pound. I took most of the large pieces.. lol i opened almost every box they had (30 or so) and cherry picked the ones that i wanted.

Nice guys... here is what i got...

6 boxes just over 400 lbs of rock. I may have extra... Better to have to much then not enough, its not exactly close to me.

nice big pieces

Now i need to cure it..

thats my bathtub full of rock..
and to get some air i turn on my jets...

 

[jnarowe]

OK, now that is seriously funny! I wonder when the coraline will start growing inside the tub plumbing?

 

[Genin]

[Bax]

MAN!!! I can see my Honey's face rigth now when she find the LR curing in the tub!!!!!

I always say, better a fish tank than new curtains lol:thumbsup:

Who needs curtains?

Natural light is good for the reef!

 

[jnarowe]

I'll never forget when my wife shacked up with me and realized I had no curtains. I explained that I knew exactly where my nudity zones were and when loaded, they didn't count.

 

[jay24k]

Just wait till you bend over in the bathtub and a bristleworm pops up your butt! LOL

 

[JuanGil75]

Man I saw those pics and all I could think was "You Might be a Redneck if "

Nice work

 

[jnarowe]

Well, maybe if there was a mining pan and a kettle brewing.
