lolgranny's 300g /180g display build thread! Finally!

Just gorgeous! I hope to do this one day when I move out of my moms haha. I am hoping to buy a house with an unfinished basement. Build me a nice large tank and the rest of the living room around the tank.

Thats EXACTLY what i wanted!! Sadly i didnt have the $ for a few i was looking at with unfinished basements. lol

Plan ahead my friend, take it slow, and do everything you want to. Trust me, in the end it will pay off.
 
It looks AWESOME! Nice job :)

Thanks A & D :)
Ill have to have you swing out and take a look at it. Hows everything on your part of town going?

Full on kewl!!

:lolspin: Thanks bud!

Nice build bro.Good luck with your new tank

Hey Dan! Appreciate the compliment, yours one one of my many inspirations. Yours is BEA....utiful! I lost most of the frags i got from you in the tank crash so ill have to hit you up this winter for a pack again!
 
Looking Good......Glad to see the big tank up and running. By the way I still have that Calcium reactor and battery back up and a lot of other misc. stuff going to be posting it for sale soon ..let me know if you want before i post.
 
Hey dude. Nice to see you're back with a bigger tank. I was a big fan of your 40 breeder; in fact I think it was one of the best 40breeders out there ever.

I see you've stuck with the good old radiums and actinics. You're not impressed with LEDs lol. Neither am I. :hmm2:

I have no doubt at you will have an awesome tank by this time next year.

Look forward to seeing this progress. :thumbsup:
 
That Build turned out nice! Question for you...that rack for your lighting...where did you pick that up from? I am looking to hang some MH and VHO that stuff looked slick!

Thanks bud, The lighting rack i made. I picked up the aluminum from a company and assembled it myself. Thing is so nice!! I shot you a PM back on your question!
 
The tanks been up about 7 months now and im ALMOST back on track where my 40g was... Its been a long road that i didnt want to take again. Ive been trying to stay off this forum and others because i get the itch and it depresses me lol.

Ive had some cyano bacteria blooms on my rock because i took the sand out and went back to bare bottom again(i cant seem to get away from it) Ive also had some other type of bacteria ive never seen. Its almost like a slimy thick booger thats been hanging on a couple pieces of rock i got from the LFS that were from a 3yr old tank(NEVER TRUST THAT...i failed) However with multiple water changes ( doing 45g a week), siphoning out what i can, and blowing off the rock its looking better.

All the corals are doing phenomenal i honestly need to post a for sale thread on here because i have some AMAZING rainbow monti, setosa, superman, forest fire digi, and some hawkins echinata i could move. The rainbow montis look crazy, ive never had the coloration out of them that i do now. Everything in the display is blowing up and some pieces i had after the crash have come back (superman milli, rommels WM, atl shades of fall, pearlberry, reefer madness rainbow nastua and a bunch of others) VERY happy about that.

Ill try and get some pics up soon guys, ive been slacking. It is time to come out of hibernation! LOL
 
Thanks for the written update; just need the pictorial update when you have the time. Since your post above makes it sound like the colours are awesome, you have to share some photos dude LOL :D
 
Well i went to take some shots with the good camera and it was dead... so Iphone it is!

Here are a few updates:

As you can see i still have some Cyano on the rocks and some algae on the frag rack, which i need to take out and mount the new babies when i get around to it... oh work :(
