launchnukes' 300DD starphire build 400g+ total system

[jt48]

The outside of the bottom trim is 72x36

Found the answer on page 2 lol. So I quess the dimensions of the glass is less then 72x36

According to marineland tech support the dimensions of the bottom trim is 72, 3/8 inches by 36, 1/16 inches.

They were kind enough to add that any custom stand voids the warranty.:mad2:

thanks everyone.

@jt48. i know, it's garbage

 

[launchnukes]

deja vu?

i figured what's the fun in having just one female?

please excuse the bad phone pics

the new arrival. a little smaller than the first one, which is perfect

both in frame. the new arrival in the box and the larger one bottom right.

How your fish doing today ?

...another tagalong. It's nice to see someone doing it "right" from the beginning. Quarrantine... aesthetics... etc.

Great build!!! tagging along. hope i dont steal to many ideas.) Im building a 300dd system also atm.

 

[indyjaco]

Amazing system. This is a goal for me in a couple years.

hows the blue spot doing? Still in the burrow you made for it? I just got one yesterday at steal in my opinion. Wasnt an impulse buy as i have been looking for the right specimen and price. Earlier this week i changed out my 3/8in bird block mesh frame to the 1/4in just in case. Im going to try to make a pvc burrow as well simply for the fact that i can see it more easily and it does not wreak havoc on my sand bed.

thanks everyone. some of you have asked about the bsj....sadly he vanished a few weeks ago. He was always chilling in his burrow, I dropped my temp, he ate like crazy, no one bothered him, etc etc but still he vanished. i've heard too many stories...i wont try one again.

sorry for the lack of updates. i'll take some new pics and post a major update. but in the mean time.....i went to the lfs looking for a pair of platinum clowns and absolutly fell in love with a pair of black ice clowns. so without further adieu....my new pair of black ice clowns.

 

[prop-frags]

Love the black ice clowns! Thanks for sharing the pics!

 

[cubsare1]

very nice looking clowns!

 

[launchnukes]

real update coming. in the mean time....a little teaser pic.

Can you give me the name of your wood worker? I'm in Grant and doing a 300 gallon peninsula and need someone to do the finish work on it.

Looks great LN, love all the space the corals have to grow. It'll look more and more amazing as time goes, really nice man.

 

[launchnukes]

the tank has been doing good. I'm getting good growth but my colors aren't where i want them yet. Im pretty sure it's my fault, i've been slaking on water changes and maintenance. I'm going to try to give the tank some more of my time and see if that wont make a difference.

anyway, a few tank shots...
