Scooter... are you sure that stand will survive the wait?? hehe... dont want to come down there to see everything on the ground... and the stand all folded up...

 

[scooters reef]

LOL I don't know. Actually, the wall for the new tank is done, and I'm almost done with the stand as well. I should be able to get the tank in place and start the plumbing this weekend

I want it running by X-Mas !

Dang I got to page 7 and gave up BECAUSE I HAVE to say that i must have won the ugliest person award! Also My LFS uses kid pools to hold ALL of its stuff! Its GREAT! he has PVC and Wires Everywere, Well anyway back to the subject... My tank isnt getto At all. The parents wont allow it :-(

 

[MessyRoadKil]

BTw Frick has the mad scientist setup going on. That is awesome. I can imagine you down there at 3:30 in the morning standing in a puddle of water twisting bare wires together while smoking a cigarette and listening to pipe organ music. A frightening vision...... THAT IS FREAKEN FUNNY!

 

[reefdood]

Oh I got one. Yesterday I was tired of seeing my tank always with particles badly floating around along with microbubbles. So I took an old sock, a real sock, and cut it down and attached it to my drainpipe in my sump. Not I have no microbubbles, the water is much clearer, and it was free.

Do I qualify now? :lol:

Anyone know the micron rating of an Adidas ankle cut foot sock? :lol:

 

[MessyRoadKil]

LOL. Thats like what i did with my tank today. Odd I forgot about that. I put a sock over my Syphon tube and syponed all the Dirt "crap" out then added the water back to the tank... Getto but efective

 

[Adonis Mt]

My tank isnt that ghetto but my house sure is.. It's 350sq foot and fitting all this related fish stuff here has been a logistical nightmare.

 

[Saltz Creep]

350sq ft? My garage is bigger than your house.

 

[Bamm Bamm]

My bedroom is bigger than your whole house as well=)

 

[Scooter64]

Here is my ghetto sliding light canopy. I've got a steel I beam directly over my tank so I put it to good use to slide my lights out of the way.

cannibalized a $5 skateboard for the wheels to make it go!

 

[Johnsteph10]
