Alan,

No joke, right? I have been online looking at SPS all week! Oh boy! We might need to hold a frag swap just for me!!! Lol!!!

Off to Home Depot in avwhile to buy everything needed for today's monster project!

And so it begins.... (As the Phantom of the Opera interlude starts to play! Lol)

Update!!!

Tonight was awesome!

Check out the monster Skimmer in its first 5 minutes of action!

After about an hour of Skimming.. This is a beast!!!!

Bonsai Baby!!!

I am in love with the rock work! I love the openness and the shelves created for SPS madness!

Watcha think??

On Tuesday I should be getting my RKL with goodies, and at that point hopefully install the 1/10 chiller, Vortech Back up, Reactors (looking for Calcium Reactor), and of course wire management will complete once all is installed.

Also think I will try and get a custom reservoir made for DI, and start looking at hang on fuges.

Looks great. I like the rock work and the openness too. The rocks look like a serious balancing act.

 

[LivingStrong08]

Balanced and stable.

Nice job with the rockwork Timmy. I bet you can't stop playing with everything!

 

[LivingStrong08]

Andrew, actually.. One thing that I learned is to try and keep my hands out of the tank as much as possible... I haven't (and won't) touched anything in the tank aside from cleaning the glass with the Mag.

The rocks are extremley secure and the skimmer is a new process to me, however I REALLY commened the design and ease of the SWC skimmer. I can see how they have a tough time keeping the new design in stock! Kinda like the Wii for aquariums.

Im growing my chaeto in the back of the rock structure in the main display, its working perfectly after a couple of months...

I could help with the reservoir. I'm not pro, but I've done 4 fuge/sumps so far.

 

[LivingStrong08]

Thanks, I really dig the rockwork.

I plan on getting the Aqua fuge hang on, and hang off the sump. I think this will be the best option for me and allow the openess look for me. Also I have read great things about the fuge's and it seems like best option. With this in mind, it really opens up my options for a DI resevoir. I found a little 4-5 gallon, that I can use in the meantime, but I do plan on getting some measurements and start looking at costs for an acrylic.

 

[LivingStrong08]

Hey dcsicello, do you have any pics of your work??

 

[usefulidiot213]

Thx man! Starting to get my diatom bloom.

Lucky Dog! My diatoms NEVER bloom, they always just cover everything in brown. Seriously though, nice aquascaping!

 

[LivingStrong08]

Hahaha, yup it is a nice bloom! I am sure nobocy wants to see pics of a spectacular diatom bloom. lol.

 

[dcdicello]

Hey dcsicello, do you have any pics of your work??

these aren't the best .. I'll get more this week some time

 

[LivingStrong08]

I think I found avCOR hang on! Wahoo!! Thx for pics tho!

 

[Bigred]

Looking good! Keep the pics coming.

 

[LivingStrong08]

Just waiting for something fun to happen, so I can post a pic. Hopefully my ReefKeeper arrives today so everything can get automated.
