This thread is worthless without pics
heres the madness
heres the aquascaping. Mostly all of this rock came with the tank. Of course about 50% of my rock went in the tank as well...
2; 250w 14k bulbs will blind the heck out of you. They also had some flouresent lighting in the front, but it was uncovered and he said if you touch it slightly, it would fry you...and picturing Lindsay getting fried wile trying to feed the fish just didnt seem like a good situation. So I removed them. Also, the hood wasnt hinged, so I threw some hinges on there tonight. -ohh I also transfered the little 3" fan that I had in the cube into the hood as well, I figured a little air movement is better than no air movement.
The sump of course isnt in yet. Im going to hook up with Jeff and get that straighted out, hopefully have it full of water on Wensday or Thursday. Then it should really clear up. The Tunze is going to take LOTS to adjust to get just right. That thing moves some SERIOUS water, and its turned 100% down. Brett was over this evening and mentioned adding a few SQWD's so that might be an option.
A carpet anenome came with the tank, and my clown instantly took to it. My tomato is still wondering around looking for his lather. I thought it was pretty crazy though how fast the perc. took to the anenome . I mean, it was instant. Hes defending it pretty hard, and laying in it...so I think its his.
I have a nice area in the back of the rock under the PH for frags. Im kidna excited about that area. The zoos are slowly opening tonight.
Im excited to get the sump/fuge working. Hopefully by the end of the week.
Again, thank's CJ and Vianca Its a great addition to our home that will hopefully last a LONG time

Looking good!
thanks!
anyone know how to set a simple timer?
the ones with the dial on it? I know this is the digital age, but I dont have a digital timer just yet....
the instructions just dont make much sense. "turn the dial to the desired time" but how does it know what time it is, and how does it know when to turn it off? -or am I thinking to far into it?

Frank there are red and bluish green pins that we placed in a ziplock bag for you. Those go to the timers. I don't know how to use them myself but if you want I can ask Chudy to help you out. I'm glad that you are enjoying the tank! It's looking good.
We need to talk about those MH. Wanna trade for a 4 bulb VHO/ 2 bulb T5HO set up? Also, we need to work on the stand BEFORE the sump goes in. It needs to be waterproof and hold water if it leaks or spills. I like to prepare for an emergency before it arrives. We will talk when you come over to fix the sump.
i am in the process of sealing it up right now accually. Im trying to get it done before Lindsay comes home so it sits all night and cures. Im going to do the fiberglass resin that you were telling me about earlier. Im going to go to makeman and get a peice of wood to go across the back of the stand and that should act as a catch for the resin. Hopefully I get it sealed with caulk tonight and then fiberglass resin this week, while the fuge is drying/curing. Then set the sump in this weekend.
As for the halide trade, I might be interested in that.

Hey Jeff....thanks again for the help! I appreciate it!
Lindsays suprise that she kept calling about... she got me a blue tang and shrimp. She got the wrong shrimp...but thats alright. I kinda wanted to wait to get anymore livestock until we at least got the skimmer up, but ohhh well...... im happy. Was a suprise to me!

On the flip side...We (jeff and I) are going to rebuild the sump. Its going to get completly tore apart and then rebuilt. I think we are going to put a little bigger return in the fuge area for more flow there. I just gotta order some weld-on and once that gets here the fun will begin.
Im also going to waterproof the inside of the stand with fiberglass resin as I mentioned in the other post. I figure I might as well do it all, and do it right...right now while its still being built. I dont have the skimmer running yet, but it will get there. Water changes will be the key for the next few weeks. The tang survived through the night, seems to be fine.
