[pascal32]

I would help if only you didn't live so far away

typical

I'm trying to talk myself out of picking up some liverock for the 72 LPS tank now that there is room downstairs...

How did you make out with the light over the current tank going out?

 

[oneradtek202]

yea it ended up just being my bulb if anything, maybe even just something weird idk. i forget which bulb was the one i took out lol

 

[oneradtek202]

so after a bunch of messing around , i finally have the holes drilled, canopy up, everything is ready to go except for shimming and leveling the stand. my floor is so uneven its not even funny. lets see if i can make it level lol heres a quick pic

quit stalling

 

[oneradtek202]

HAH, well i have tomorrow off, so more work tomorrow on it.

 

[magdelan]

Looks Bad A$$

 

[Randrew215]

That looks fantastic. Are you going to ATO that?

 

[mr86mister]

Looks fantastic Brandon. Now you can get your hands on some new frags and get those bad boy SPS growing. Better beat Mark before he gets his new setup built.

 

[oneradtek202]

That looks fantastic. Are you going to ATO that?

Yea definitely, i have used ATO now for over 2 years, wouldnt have it any other way

Mike, yea im def gonna do some SPS growing, but im going to have a motto this time, "Less is More".....have any room at ABC for huge faded plate of orange cap for free? lol

 

[pascal32]

If I'm home this weekend I can swing over and help finish the level. I have enough stock here to cut shims, that gap is massive! I'll use the same left over laminate flooring I used on mine.

 

[oneradtek202]

k cool pascal, youve been MORE than helpful with this whole thing. Im hoping to get this thing level tomorrow. The more i thought about the unevenness, the more i thought maybe the fact that i cranked those back support beams might have had something to do with it. im going bring them back down to just tight enough and shim, THEN crank them to make the fine tuning adjustments i think

 

[Capt_Cully]

Looks really great man!

I've changed my mind...looks like a salad bar.

Get some water in that tub!

 

[oneradtek202]

Just bought my new reflectors! yeah baby check these puppies out!

Lumenarc III minis

 

[victorcan]

love the suspended canopy... definitely a touch of class there..can wait to see the end result ohhh 5 years from now

 

[dreaminmel]

Brandon, those reflectors are excellent! I actually got both of mine from PGS. Huuuge difference in light vs. the old spider style.

Tank looks great! Well..... as great as an empty tank can look!
Fill it up!
If you start the cycle today, it'll be ready just in time for the frag-swap!
