I ment that more like "Welcome to our "corner" of RC. So Joey, do you have any ideas on why your sps didn"t color up?

I have no clue. I bought them as a frag pack from liveaquaria.com. They were all the same color you see now. The growing tips are beautiful shades of blue and aqua, but then the coral turns to the blah coloration as it grows and stays that way.

Hello All,

I have just finished skimming through this thread and would like to throw my hat in the ring.

These are old photos and the tank looks completely different now. I’m in the process of changing my basement sump’s configuration for the umpteenth time and will get updated pics when done.

Great Thread!

 

[Michael]

hi-eddie thanks for coming on and posting some pictures, your tank is a beautifully made thing, i love the wood and it looks really good, looking forward to more when you can, welcome to the thread

 

[Esquare]

Thanks for the kind words Michael.

that is all you will get around here j/k that stand/canopy is sweet... did i hear that you have a basement sumP... if so you will be the envy of the corner thread...

 

[Esquare]

Yeah, I came up with several designs for an under tank sump but then realized I had a warm air return in the corner the tank was going in. I have everything crammed in under the stairs in the basement.

I started with a multi tank setup on a galvanized lumber rack then switched to a single acrylic sump with multiple chambers. I didn’t do a very good job cementing the seams and it recently started to leak so I put in a temporary sump and am now designing/installing another multi tank setup. Whenever I see well enough, I just have to mess with it till it’s broke.

I only hope it will come out as clean looking as some I’ve seen here.

 

[Esquare]

Oh, thanks for the compliment on the stand, it was a real bugger to make.

 

[Hookup]

Well done on the stand... seriously it's a beautiful piece of furniture! Looking forward to your updated photos... and welcome to the club...

Can you share some photos and comment on your lighting?

 

[Michael]

yep good point about the lighting, have you seen misled (jesse) lighting in his canopy, looks similar to your canopy,

 

[kelso1980]

Wow Esquare, that stand is really something else! I have a bedroom set that is birds-eye maple it reminds me a lot of that. Same color stain and similar finish. I love it

Hey all - here is a corner related issue that might be of interest - it involves getting flow in a corner tank:

[Michael]

some good comments in there, and a couple of corner owners we havent seen before as well, not sure about the 6045 myself, im a 6025 man but hopefully someone else will chip in about the 6045

 

[Esquare]

Wow, thanks for the kind words folks. I made the stand and canopy to match the Pedestal Desk I made for my office/study.

Here are a couple of pics of the lighting, nothing fancy just an Aquactinics T5 fixture with the Neptune Lunar Sim.

I have some more pics in my gallery if anyone is interested.

 

[Michael]

some great pictures in your gallery eddie

 

[Esquare]

Thanks Michael.

I don't know what I love the most about this hobby, the fish, the corals or the DIY....probably the DIY.
