DIY Aquarium Start to Finish

[luv951]

BL - Thats OK, I guess, but nowhere near as cool a JGs DIY start to finish...er.... embarassing abandonment

When's the equipment sell off? Didn't he buy like $2k worth of Tunze stuff for this monstrosity?

Been busy for a while. Friends in from out of the country. Spent most of my CA reactor and Controller money on the iphone. Also I have been going Salmon fishin every chance i get in Pulaski NY. In a month or so I will start posting again. Enjoying what is left of the warm weather in the NE.

It's been nearly 3. Any updates? It should be cold enough to warrant all 6 heaters by now.

holy friggen moses I have wasted about 2 hours reading through all 27 pages of this thread and got nothing but humor from it. I think if he puts water in the tank the beast might come to life and run-a-muck all over manhatten. The shower curtain was the icing on the cake. I wouldn't even put this tank in a garage surrounded by nasa grade tin foil...kinda like it already is. I can't even offer constructive criticism for that. I don't know, having a tank that feeds itself, and maintains itself so you can look at fish for about two minutes a week while it adds about $200 to your electricity bill seems pretty pointless. Why not just get one of those moving photos of fish that lights up and put it on your wall. I don't think that "ocean" will need much matainence, and if you want to plug it into gfi outlet, you'll only need one... or seventeen if I follow the math used to determine the correct amount of outlets on this tank. You better put some gosh darn water in tank and get this freakshow on the road!

There is already some lights that are lit up on your trip indicator board, did things already trip the gfci's before water was even in the aquarium? This tank has to win an award for cliff hanger of the decade. You should have just built a robot that would have built the tank for you, maintained it, and cursed at people of RC who doubt your design. Oh and for the hell of it, you should add a fog machine behind the shower curtain. I'm sure this or those (still can't figure out which one is the display tank) tank(s) will look better once half of this thing is hidden behind a wall...or in a bunker.
