Nov 30 Tank Shots

[RayAllen]

Just felt like taking and posting pics. As you can see the anemone has moved and is quite happy. Either its grown or is just really comfortable. The Cinnamon clown is hosting like a champ and has darkend in color since a week ago. Also the new Crocea clam is looking good. :)

My Calc is at 420-440 ppm
My Alc is at 11 DLK or 196~ppm

Looks great. That anemone has gotten huge!

[Mr Cob]

HUGE!!!

Awesome Ray!

[RayAllen]

Thanks guys. The anemone really likes to spread out. I had know idea it would get this big so fast, but the clown and I love it.

Man your tank is looking nice! I can believe you just got it together.

Thanks

When I did the redo, I did not disturb the sump and fuge except for a little plumbing change and also kept about 75% of the total water volume, which made for a tiny cycle but not much of anything. My water parems are spot on.

Well after yesterdays Rock slide the tank no longer looks this way, lol! The rock scape looks cool and is similar but diffrent. Will have to post a pic once I know the anemone is going to be ok. Seems to be doing fine this morning.

[jrsatx20]

[RayAllen]

Very close to being the same but a little diffrent.

Im also going to make another modification to the frame around the tank so that I have front access. Should have done it to begin with because trying to clean and aquascape from behind the tank is not easy. Currently it is the white frame seen in the above pics, but im going to widen the frame surrounding and put hinges on the top peice. The bottom and side peices will be fixed to the wall but the top will be indepenent. This way it will still look like a picture frame but have function.

A example

just have to be careful not to get any dust from the wood or drywall in the aquarium or sump when I do this. Right now the hole in the wall is just perfect for the tank. Im going to make the hole about 4-5" taller so that I have plenty of arm access.

[jrsatx20]

thanks i like it a lot. i have and empty wall just itching to have a tank put in. what makes it better there is a closet behind that empty wall... so now all i have to do is play tug of war with the kids with a broom stick and let it go right through the wall.

[RayAllen]

I still may put a 200+ in my main entry wall next year. Its perfect because on the other side is the garage. This is actually the reason I picked out this paticular floor model of home when my wife and I was deciding which to build. She actually let me choose this home for that reason. How cool of a wife do I have, she lets me pick a floor layout based on where I can put a aquarium in a wall.

[Mr Cob]

Very cool wife indeed! I like the hinge idea Ray for the current tank, very nifty.

[CoryDude]

Love the cube. Is that a 60? Also, please let us know how the hinges work out.

I've got an in-wall set-up as well, for a 90 gallon, and have been looking at doing a similar hinge design on my top trim also.

[RayAllen]

Its a 39g cubish tank. 24x18x20 approx.

As soon as I get to the new frame with hinge project I will post new pics. Probably wont get it done untill later this month, but I might get to it sooner.

[RayAllen]

The tank has been going for 6 months but has been through various changes through out that time.

[RayAllen]

another I miss! Man ive had some nice aqauriums! As you guys know I have had a few over the years.... ;)

[rrasco]

I still regret missing out on your 180, that was a good deal. FWIW, I still have a few of your cichlids from the 90.

[RayAllen]

sweet, im sure they are doing well.

[CoryDude]

Ah man, I miss this tank!
