It's that time... next new tank

[Old Yeller Tang]

Hopefully mine will look half as nice as yours.

Yours is already twice as nice as mine since you'll have a sandbed! Plus, you have very nice corals as well.

When your tank is all done, I'll have to meet up with you and Scottie this time around.

Nah, I've lost a lot of corals already because my current tank is still at the old house. I don't get to take care of it like when I was at home. That's why I'm anxious to get everything over. Tank is over halfway full with just water. I'm getting there....

You do need to make a trip out here once I'm all set up.

You are absolutely right about taking forever to fill it. I only have 1/5 of the tank filled so far since 5 o'clock last night. Waiting stinks!!!

Ah, my friend you need one of these:

hooked up to one of these:

700 gpd....

 

[slobound]

NOW THAT IS WHAT I NEED!!! Holy smokes... 700 gallons per day. That's a lot of water! I could've filled my tank 5 times by now.

 

[Old Yeller Tang]

Chuck has all the neat gadgets!

So is the tank filled now?

 

[moonpod]

Roland, lemme tell ya, I thought about how long it would take to fill my new tank....I began looking for relatively drastic solutions. This thing is not as expensive as you might think. I got it from airwaterice for much less than I've seen 'em for ANYWHERE. It's pretty darn convenient ya know? I don't bother storing water anymore....

The tank is filled pretty much filled to where it needs it to be. I'm moving over water from my old tank as well so I don't have to fill the tank full. I'll be taking off for the weekend so I'll try to move everything on Monday. More pics to come after the weekend.

Chuck, I just looked over at airwaterice and you're right, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. With your new tank size, I think it was GREAT investement... I seriously don't know how you would fill that monster with a 110GAL/day RO unit! I would sit there and cry...

 

[tacocat]

That's quite the upgrade.

 

[greencardgraphics]

are you gonna be selling your old setup?

 

[slobound]

I will be selling my old setup... but a friend already has dibs on it. If it falls through... I'll let you know!

 

[slobound]

That's quite the upgrade.

Hugo, this thing takes up the whole dining room area wall. I'm excited to see this thing lit! I've just put down same sand and some dried fiji rock. It's coming together....

 

[tacocat]

Hugo? Hector. Garrick what am I going to do with you?

Do you have a plan to evacuate all the extra heat and humidity? It seems that once you break the 150g mark, the windows start to sweat.

I'd be excited to. This really opens the door to the type of fish and corals you can keep also.

 

[slobound]

Hahahahaha..... sorry Hector! Luckily I have sliding glass door right next to the tank that leads to an atrium. I'm going to have fans blowing that direction.

Yeah, I excited to add new stuff to the tank. I haven't been able to do that for a while now and I'm seaching around now for new corals. Hahahahaha

 

[slobound]

OK... here's the crummy pic that I just took of my tank filled with livestock. I'll get better pics later but I'm just too tired to grab the nice camera. It took me a lot longer to get everything going. Finally it's up and running. Next part is to face off the stand and canopy. I'm allowed to take a couple days of rest first I hope???

 

[Wilafur]

so whats the ghostly figure towards the rear center right of the tank? haha.

 

[Old Yeller Tang]

Hey! Where did the white pvc fittings go!lol

Looking really good! That was pretty quick actually but I doubt you'll take a few days off for rest! Your gonna want this thing done asap!

 

[slobound]

OK... just tried to take a better picture of the tank. These 20K's are just killing me with phototaking. I need to learn how to use this camera. Hopefully this picture is a little more clear.
