Thanks Marcus.... Kevin said it won't take long so we will see especially since it's gig to have to be a non-stop process due to fishies and coral hotta stay healthy

Just talked to person. In Memphis going at 530a to get 100lbs of rock

 

[05grandprix]

The things we do for the hobby to get stuff cheaper. Hope it's worth the drive to get rocks Most people get rid of rocks BUT reef junkies want more and pay to get some rocks

 

[05grandprix]

The rock looked great especially for price it's clean and cured and 100 lbs for 75.00.

 

[dzones]

That is a GREAT price. what kind of rock was it?

 

[05grandprix]

Lol David idk will let Kevin tell me because I'm not no rocktologist. To me it looks really good Bruce said some of it was Fiji and one other name

I am planning on tearing down my 120 next weekend and moveing it to another room.Makeing room for the other tank.

 

[dzones]

"tis the season to be jolly...and setup our bigger tanks" fa la la la la..la la la la

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I will be glad when I am done,so hows is your rebuild going.

 

[dzones]

so far so good.
I cleaned out and levelled the tank. TESTED FOR LEAKS OVERNIGHT (lol).
ran to B&R and got some plumbing goodies. Now I am cutting and placing all the pipes.
I decided to go with the megaflow 4 sump and a 29g refugium beside. I have about 7 inches to spare so worked out well. I will shoot some pics later when I get it plumbed up.

 

[jtrip]

hows everything going ? was nice to meet u today man

 

[techdiver]

Man, I wish I was upgrading. Guess I'll just move some coral around in the nano and pretend it is a little bigger.

 

[05grandprix]

The new tank is doing good so far had some leaks they are temp fixed til thurs. Wanna say a big thanks to Kevin for the great job of aqua scapeing the rock. And thanks to Justin for the delivery of stuff.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Hey Brent,post some pics when you can.

 

[05grandprix]

I will post pictures as soon as it clears up. I will go ahead and state the the stand and canopy are not my favorite but it came with the set-up and after I graduate nursing school and purchase a home the oak stand and canopy will be purchased and used so for time being this is working. My grandmother loves kevins job he done, but thinks the tank is to big and likes the 65g better. Btw Kevin she said she hopes the wife is feeling better and that the kids were magnificent and well behaved and was a pleasure.
