Hah, but awesome tank man. You should make something out of that helmet... which is almost as awesome as the tank.

Keep it up. Subscription please.

Rock Structures

Rock Structures

Been working on the rock structures. These are the "tiggsy method" with zip ties, egg crate, and Great Foam.

OT: Not about the tank or your set-up but what did I spy in your garage?

Playing a little dress-up with the wife when the kids arn't around? Hahaha

Sweet looking tank by the way too

Always end up having to post this one. My wife got this for me in San Diego when I finished some flight training out there in 1999. She's awesome. This is my daughter and I Halloween 2003. I fitted this thing with a full up microphone system. Kids love it, the dog hates it.

:lol: HA !!

Wow. That's some outfit.

Good luck on the build. I have the profilux II and 4 unit dosing pump. You probably won't need to dose Mg constantly, so you could probably figure something else to use with those 2 pumps. For my setup, I have Ca on 1 channel, Alk on another, and then a water in and water out for a daily water change (actually, 4 times per day). Total change is about a gallon per day.

nice codpiece

 

[Grahamathon]

FTMFW hahaha that is fantastic.

Although that Fett helmet is really catching my eye. If you got that costume I would forever be a lesser person than you.

I'm diggin the white stand. Very clean looking.
What is that black water container in the corner of the garage? Water change? or Water softener?

 

[navyav8tr]

The "black missile" is actually there to make the system capacity larger. I am thinking of doing a deep sand bed in it though, verdict still out on that one.

Thanks for the advice on the doser. I didn't figure I'd have to dose Mg all the time so I was wondering what I might do with it. Though about dosing myself Johnny Walker Blue from 5 PM until till 10 PM M-F and on Sat 4 PM till Midnight.

As far as the cod piece, it's a little tight.

 

[ox5477]

Johnny walker blue huh? Man knows some good scotch... little to expensive for my tastes though... Black is warm enough for me
:spin1:

How deep a sandbed would put in "The Missle" if you did end up doing that?

 

[navyav8tr]

Actually my preference as far as drinks go is Kickin' Chicken,.......Wild Turkey Warmed in the Microwave.

I would go with a DSB of about 3 - 4 feet.

 

[ox5477]

That would definatly be a deep DSB haha

You must have a steel drum stomach to be drinking that battery acid... haha... some hardcore stuff... myself, need beverages chilled... cant imagine it warmed in the microwave

 

[morrisgigantus]

That Storm Trooper costume is AWESOME!!

BTW Good looking tank

 

[Diablo]

Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?

 

[navyav8tr]

Slowly getting there. Got the rock finished and in the tank. Working out the plumbing now. I am going under the house in the crawl space so it is a little teadious.

 

[Ed Reef]

Love pentagon shape tank - not easy to scape but you did an excellence job

 

[rsmall175]

look like a diamond

 

[navyav8tr]

Slowly getting there. I have been spending alot of time on the plumbing, everything is plumbed to the garage. Got the lighting in and canopy doors on to get "the feel" of what it will look like.

I am really liking the Aqua Illumination LED fixture. Very controllable and modular. I'll got some better shot of it later on.
