I still need to drill your tank for the closed loop, and help your with the sump baffles, but that won't take long. Let me know what you think.

maganda. gusto ko yung kulay. kailan ko to makukuha? ramiro

[acro-wrasse]

I didn't know balsa wood could look so good:D

[crpeck]

Is that burl .... what kind of wood? It's beautiful!

[joeycadre]

how big is that tank?

[Rendos]

The wood is Birch plywood. The stain just really brings out the grain. The tank is a 50 gallon. 30"X18"X21".

[drowzee]

well i got my tank and stand from richard and before i started a new one me and my buddy installed some GFCI for my existing tank and for the new one.

[joeycadre]

nice

[cateyes]

hey Roy, that's looking good!

it's amazing what a little water and some lights will do for a glass box! oh yeah, something pretty to set it on helps also.. :)

keep the pics coming for us... lisa

[milkshake]

How's that light working for you? You probably had to work with those legs a little, at least that's what I had to do.

[drowzee]

that thing is bright. i will replace the halide with xm probably but it is working. tank has water and rocks. just need corals and get my fish. will try to post pics. tomorrow.

[crpeck]

George ...... wherever do you get your disturbing avatars?

I think I prefer the creepy dog. Do we need to get you some sensitivity training?


:confused:

[Gordonious]

Doesn't that plumbing put a lot of weight on the bulk heads pulling on the glass? Talking about drilling in another thread earlier I got a little worried about my design, but it had much less pluming and weight that what is shown in those pics.

[milkshake]

Are you "disturbed" Cathy?

[crpeck]

Yeah .... I guess I must be. :spin1: :spin1:

I will be for sure if I look at that avatar too often.

Can't you find a cute little marsupial like those other guys?

[drowzee]

i thought about that so i am bracing the piping and the UV behind. it is supported by a 2x2 right now to lighten up the load.

[milkshake]

Cathy-this is the best one I could find of a marsupial.

[crpeck]

There you go!

Perfect marsupial avatar!

What is it?

Thanks!

[gflat65]

Nice, George;D.

[milkshake]

Ramiro-did you say a 20K XM is going into the fixture?

[drowzee]

thanks for looking.

[Rendos]

Looks awesome. Love the leopards. I am jealous...your bipartitus looks more colorful than mine. The meleagris is nice too. It's nice to work at a great store that gets cool stuff like that, isn't it...

thanks ben. how is your tank doing?

[ndfootball5489]

My tank is doing very good no where near as nice as yours, but i got it set up and it is amazing. IMO i wish i had a digital camera so i could take pics and show it off, but don't. As soon as i get pictures i will post for all to see.
