PTSD treatment tank

Semper fi Travelinlight I never would have though how much a tank would do for me mentally. Now just if I can get it to help fix me physically we would be good.

No kidding bro, plus you can justify large purchases to the wife in the name of therapy! Love the tank, can't wait to see it all grown up. From one 11bangbang to another best of luck to you and yours.

No wife anymore she got fed up with me and took off. So no needing to justify my spending. Lucky me :dance:
 
Hey great build! Tagging along for your progress.

PTSD was also a big driving factor behind me building my tank.

04-09 USMC, 3 tours in Iraq (Fallujah invasion in 04, Al Qa'im 05-06 and Ramadi 06-07).

We sucked the same dirt in Fallujah. I was on the North East corner of the city.
 
Yep one of our strykers almost when off a overpass that they blew out. Now that was a pucker factor. On a side now how are you feeling recovering fast?
 
I really need to find the charger to my camera. My phone is just not cutting it on taking pictures of everything in my tank.

I am recovering fine. Just hate that the recovery has been extended on the fact that the first surgery failed and they were so nonchalant about it. But my tank keeps me focused. Thanks for asking.
 
I am starting to make a board for my APEX to mount to. I plan on drilling a few holes in it to run the wires through so they are on the back to make a nice clean look to it. Right now I have it just out in my living room trying to figure it out and how to program it. I will mount the DC controllers to the board also so they are nice and neat.

You guys with all your neat wiring and perfectly parallel plumbing ..... makes me sick ....... with envy :) This is what mine always looks like :lol:

That looks like organized chaos to me. I am sure you know what every wire goes to and where its ran too.
 
The really scary question is what's that hidden under the towel? :eek2:

:lol: Never looked at it that way. Sorry to say no dismembered head, just my ATS that bathes the entire basement in a weird pink light without the hi-tech light blocking device.

I would use the dismembered head excuse also. You probably have some g14 classified marine stuff going on under the towel.
 
Well I don't have any pictures of heads under towels but here are some really bad cell phone pictures. Yes I know I am fighting cyno and a little hair algae but I think I am starting to win the battle.

This just got here today from LA so its not looking the best but it is very healthy gig. I had a QT tank set up for him but as sticky as he was and attached as good I will give him a shot in my display tank. If not then into the QT with a cipro treatment.

Very nice! I'd love to have a carpet again, but with a very large Mag as my tank centerpiece I just don't have the space. Good luck with it!
 
Yes, that is a beauty! I've never had one yet. Maybe that will go on my wish list. Good luck with it and thanks for the pix!
 
I am about ready to make a small spear to go spear fishing for my black and white clown. She is becoming a terror of the tank. I have watched her kill off three other small clowns that I have gotten for her to see if that would calm her down but no luck. She has now go onto attacking other fish. I have watched her go after my blond naso tang and pushed it into the upper corer of the tank. Just this morning I watcher he attack my yasha and almost kill it.
 
It has taken me over a week to catch her and I just did at 12:30am. She is in my sump for now until I figure out I plan on doing with her. I guess I just needed a bigger net. I turned the light on after being dark for a couple of hours. I then used a sick to push her out of them nem she lives in and netted her out in the open. Looking at her she has some major cuts and scratches on her from me chasing her and her crashing into the rocks trying to get away from me. I lost count of home many times I tried using my small homemade spear. I know some people will not like that I was going that way to get a fish out. But I was at wits end with her. Now maybe everything can live in peace for now.
