New Tank/Stand

[ade]

That is a great looking frag rack J. Did you build it or Matt?

 

[jocoxVT]

Matt did, my talents dont go beyond using excel.

I think that I will have to see if Matt wants to trade a frag rack for some $$$$. Any chance you would be albe to make it to the meet on the 21st April at my place?

 

[jocoxVT]

I will actually be up in Blacksburg for that weekend but already had plans its the VT Spring football game and I am meeting up with a lot of old friends from school

yeah, i like that frag rack also. looks better with the sheet of acrylic than a small diameter pvc tube.

do you like that the rack sits off the glass about an inch? i was thinking about making something similar, but the sheet of acrylic would be flush against the glass so it wasn't sticking out into the tank as much...

 

[jocoxVT]

Yeah I actually do like that it sticks out a little. It is so small anyway that even with sitting out you still dont really notice it.

 

[ade]

I would think that you would want it away from the glass so that the frags don't grow on the glass.

 

[jocoxVT]

Good point Ade.

On a side not so I just dont start another random thread looks like some of us from the Charlotte club down here may be making a trip up that way shortly hit a few tanks to look at as well as stop by Chris' store.

yeah, it needs room away from the glass so stuff can grow, but also to get it out into the light. depending on your reflectors, it might be tough to put them wherever you want and still get enough light.

actually ade, i made that one for you (so you'd have a place to stick all the frags i'm bringing you) but JC ended up needing it. so today i made another one for you....

 

[ade]

Thank you very much Matt.
JC any chance you guys might want to drive as far out as my place? If not then I would be in for a good crawl.

 

[jocoxVT]

Since we are only going to do it as a day trip I dont know yet where all we will be hitting up (due to time), or even how many people are going to be coming along but a couple of us are looking at the beginning of May or time around then. I will update everyone as we figure out more.

Yeah thanks for letting me steal your frag rack Ade I have quickly run out of room eventhough when i set up this tank I vowed that wouldnt happen, obviously I am bad at saying no to putting corals in my tank!

Jonathan, :thumbsup: for the updated tank pictures. Michael R

 

[ade]

No worries JC. You have filled it up and might need another soon.
I also have a problem of buying corals that I have no room for. Plus I get to see pics of your tank. Looks great BTW.
