Finally decided to start up the build thread! So here we go!!!!!
For as long as I can remember I've loved aquariums.
My first was a small fish bowl with a betta that I would torture endlessly with a pocket mirror.
Soon after I saved up enough $ for a fresh water 10g with an Oscar,
a Pacu and a baby red eared slider.
Miraculously they all grew together in harmony for 4+ years with an upgrade
to a 50g but eventually the turtle got way to big
and had to be given away to the LFS and soon after
both the Pacu and Oscar died.
I was 12 at the time and decided to take a break.
Not long after the bug came back and a slew of freshwater set ups have come and gone.
Most recently (3yrs ago) a 150g with parrot fish a few other assorted guys.
Just a side note I come to find out years later my dad used to feed the
Oscar and Pacu food from the table most nights.
Im talking pieces of cold cuts and salami"¦.lol
Well life happens and I moved into an apt w/ my GF (now fiancé ).
No more room for a tank or so I thought"¦lol
After some negotiating, debating, reasoning, promising, whining, bribing,
and finally proposing"¦.lol my gf gave in and agreed to let me do a set up in
the apt.
Got the landlords blessing and I was ready to roll!
This has been and continues to be a very slow build"¦
between starting a new business and planning a wedding my time is very
limited for fun stuff so bear with me guys.
The only place that the tank can go is up against a common bearing
wall so its plenty strong. Only downside is its kinda tight and there's a
window right next to it, but I will keep it as blacked out as possible. (will post a pic when I get home)
This is my first attempt at a reef tank so I did a bunch of reading on RC and jumped in!
After months of searching the net I found a used Glass cages w/ black silicone tank back in June.
It's a 48"Lx24"Dx20"H approx. 100g
(exactly the dimensions I've been looking for) starfire front & rimless tank!
The tank came with (2) 1.5" horizontal overflow box made by glass-holes.com.
It came pre drilled w (2) 3/4" return holes at the outer most edges and (2) 1.5" BH dead center
Please comment or jump in if you see something wrong or have an opinion on stuff etc"¦..
