Aggman I want to see your tank

[glennr1978]

ok ok relax. i decided to stain the stand myself this saturday and boy was that a dumb move. i have never stained anything before. i suppose it came out okay, but i am not completely satisfied with it. but...it is done. i will live with it till my next upgrade. i also got the overflow put in and the back painted black. water will go in this afternoon about 5pm. i promise to have a pic or two up.

Tick tock...

[aggman]

haha. i was wanting to see how long this could go on. three pages, geez.

i already have pics, but i am not happy with my pile of rocks. so i think i am gonna rearrange tomorrow.

let me get them loaded to photobucket and i will post in a few.

You need new rocks? I have LOTS of rocks...

[aggman]

no. actually i have too much rock now. i bought all the totoka rock i could find with the idea that i was going to be building a much larger system. but i have settled with a 30g display. so i wanted to use as much rock as i could, but it seems like too much right now. i will play with it a bit tomorrow and see what i come up with. here are some pics of what i got for now...





also, i haven't decided on how to setup my 40br that i am going to use as a sump in the pantry behing the tank. so for the time being all my gizmos are visible in the tank. i only plan on keeping my 'dry' goods and ballasts inside the stand.

That's some nice rock. It's definitely full.

[aggman]

yeah its a huge mound but full of crevices and holes that the mandarin can cruise through. still, i am going to be removing about 4 pieces to make it look more open and less bulky. i also have to make room for my clams. they are going to be in the front corner where the trumpets and duncans are.

very nice any details on equip and tank, man I feel bad Im getting out of the nano "game" I just got the 14 Im about to tear down and put away, and my pico glad to see your tank finally

[aggman]

for flow i will be using an mp20.

lighting will be a retro once i get the hood made to match the custom stand ace built. i plan on doing 5x24w. double blue+ / actinic combo with 1 procolor in the middle.

i am still trying to decide on the skimmer. right now i have a tunze 9010, but that is probably overkill, so i am selling it and looking for something more appropriate. probably the deltec ts1250. i really like that model and i can find it relatively cheap on reefcentral.

really that is it. i don't plan on going all crazy with mods and add-ons that aren't necessary. trying to keep it as simple as possible. i will be dosing two-part with an aqualifter, but that isn't too special.
