My little project 150 gallon acrylic

[steveschuerger]

So I can fit 11 tangs in my tank if you add the display tank volume and the sump together.


Now to find the tangs!!

Land lock states suck

Just an excuse to go visit elsewhere

We have rock. Repeat we have rock. Monday or Tuesday I'll probably start building the aquascape

Send left overs to me

Not sure there will be any but we shall see

A bit of a start to the scape.

 

[felda001]

I think we're on our way to an interesting scape. Once I finalize it I'll pin everything together in 3-5 pieces with structural rods and mortar.

 

[felda001]

It's not finalized but I think this is probably the plan. I'll be adding the rock from the smaller tank and I think I'll pick up 10-20 lbs of snacklerock from @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens and cure the new rock with that for about 1-2 months before the tank goes live

Everyone following along the first picture is for you. Not a lot of progress this week. So pictures of the current tank will have to tide you over. I've discovered my hermit crabs have a taste for acans. But otherwise things are going pretty well.

 

[felda001]

I pinned most of it together and mortared it into several pieces. Adding in the pieces from the current tank and some snacklerock from @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens which will go in the refugium I think the aquascape is set. Plenty of spots for different types of corals. Nice open space for a small torch garden and the cyphestra skeleton will be a xenia rock.

Let the bleach cooking commence. And since it's been over 100 since May cooking is probably the correct term

92 consecutive days over 100! We broke the previous record of 74 days over 100 I think is what I heard on the radio today.

When it finally cools off we're going to be wearing snow jackets at 80

We changed out some old signs at work and they were 1/4" thick acrylic so I took them home. I'm going to use the pieces to try my hand at making my own overflow box and maybe a couple of other things
