Looking for an old thread

[GhostCon1]

I can't remember the user name of the poster, but it was about a 1300-1500gal aquarium, in wall build with fish room behind it. I remember the tank was 15 feet long, had a clam die early on and he said it made his ORP spike, I believe he made some of the rock and had lots of little rock islands instead of one giant wall of rock. Originally he had a stingray in there too.

Oh, also he took the tank offline and turned it into a reptile or amphibian habitat after 2-3 years.

Anyone remember this thread or user? I've been looking for a while.

There was a guy with a large tank in Colorado who later turned it into a huge terrarium. Is that the one you're thinking of?

Possibly, do you have a link to his thread here or remember his username? Thanks.

 

[dave.m]

Nope, never heard of him.

Wait, what?

I remember the pictures. It was an enormous tank, about 1000 gallons at least. But I've given you all I can remember, that it was in Colorado. It was several years ago. I don't remember the thread name or user-id.

And that's only if we are talking about the same thread, which we might not be.

this one? Pretty sure he turned it into a paludarium/viavrium?

Ah, I'm on the same page now.

YES! Thank you so much.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Good job, reefstricken!

The difference between a terrarium and vivarium is too small for me to grasp, and if it doesn't have corals in it doesn't hold my atten... Oh look! Dendronephthyas!

, well played.

I've spent plenty of time on the dendro and plantedtank sites, I nearly got to setting up a thumbnail tank but there's ultimately no comparison and i'm not really into bugs that can get out into our environment. I did see energys build on one of the sites and remember the totm, happy to help.

Cheers,

(now back to building my reef)
