My Canopy

[MikeDeL]

Look what Pete did! He did a great job, and didnt even have the tank there to fit it to.

I have mounted 1 T-5 retro kit under it. Now all I need are 2 more retros, a couple fans, and some stain.

[blueboy]

that's a great design, allows good access. i think i'll build my next one like that.

[Jenn]

Very nice job!!

[::pete::]

Looks like a good fit Mike .... thanks!!

[NaCl_H2O]

Very nice ... looks just like the one I saw at PETE'S HOUSE :D

[MikeDeL]

You mean you saw my canopy before I did...... NOT FAIR. LOL

[MikeDeL]

Im always the last to see everything. Even my own stuff...

[NaCl_H2O]

You mean you saw my canopy before I did...... NOT FAIR. LOL

No, I meant Pete's canopy - same design but a little longer!

[MikeDeL]

OOOOh well then atleast I get to see it before atleast one other person.LOL

By the way are y'all impressed with the growth of my Jug Fish and Bucket Corals? :skeezy:

[MikeDeL]

Josh, I can sell you a frag, but Im warning you.....it wont be cheap. These bucket corals are extremely rare. I am the only one who has one

Reasons why I know "I am the only one".

1.) I know of knowone else who has these.
2.) Picking stuff from the Caribbean Reefs is illegal.
3.) I can barely find information on this bucket. I
had to research through several Caribbean books to
find this bucket.

How about $120 for a half inch frag, and that is only because you are an outstanding member of the MAAST community. LMAO

[Tim Marvin]

LMAO too funny!

[blueboy]

is that a venezuelan sunburst bucket?

[SaltyJim]

Too funny. The timing is just right :)

[MikeDeL]

is that a venezuelan sunburst bucket?

Actually it is a Louisiana Firecracker Bucket......that sounds like a cool name huh.

Ok Im off to Ebay. :-D

[Nano_Steve]

-steve

[MikeDeL]

45 breeder

[brewercm]

All this time I thought a 45 was a nano, at least from some of these tanks these folks are getting into. :lol:

[MikeDeL]

I think they define a nano as any tank you can carry up 3 flights of stairs on your own, so Im still in the nano range.

[GaryP]

I think my 125 qualifies as a nano nowadays.

I'm in trouble with my wife becuz I told her my 125 was my dream tank when I got it. I'd never want anything bigger. Well... of course that was before I started hanging out with you guys and got a look at a few 215 and 240's.

[AlienAnchovies]

I sent pete a pm about building me a canopy but alas here i sit canopyless ,btw he did a nice job it looks really sturdy

[MikeDeL]

I made it look even better.... I stained it this weekend. :D The canopy is made of differant wood then the stand so it didnt quite take the stain the same, but with a tank in between the 2 it should look just fine. I guess if you are noticing the stand more then the tank I need to do more work on the tank. :lol

[::pete::]

Hey Mike ... Im noticing the tank!! Whats with the buckets? :lol

The canopy looks good!!

[MikeDeL]

Pete have you not been following the thread? Its my Louisiana Fire Cracker Bucket Coral. :pics
Actually, thats how I do my water changes. :w00t
Im alittle closer to getting this tank set up now. I just need 2 more T-5 retros, a pump fans and fan grills.

[NaCl_H2O]

Nice canopy!

BTW - I have a "Deep Blue" version of that same coral - very rare, I am the only one that has it! I have also learned that they are VERY heardy, and can survive for weeks, even months in my Garage. I'll sell you a frag for $2500!

[MikeDeL]

I dont think I have enough light over mine...... see how it is all white. >_<

[NaCl_H2O]

I dont think I have enough light over mine...... see how it is all white. >_<

Looks bleached to me, better check it for any "Bucket Coral Crabs"?
