New Tank Build (Finally!) (2 Viewers)

[klondike4001]

I ended up having to have the doors made for me, between getting ready to move and making 2 small cabinets to match the stand (for auto topoff, chiller, and calcium reactor). Once I get moved I'll be sure to post lots of pictures of the finished product.

As for today, disaster after the interceptor treatment, I was told the Cortez reg leg hermits would survive, but sadly, no where near the truth...

On a better note:
ORA Naked Perc

Sohal Tang

ORA Aussie Delicate

A. Humulis

A. Tenuis

*New Addition* ORA Pearl Berry

Did you get the Sohal from BAA? I almost got the same one if you did.

 

[klondike4001]

No, the Sohal was another liveaquaria.com order. I also ordered a Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, but a fedex plane broke down and the box sat on a runway in Memphis for 24 hours, so little to say, I'm thrilled that at least one thing survived.

Oooohh.....pearlberry.......did you mailorder that or find it locally?

 

[klondike4001]

Q at T&T ordered it for me.

 

[tas5tas]

Wow....a sohal in a 4ft tank.....I hope you have an uprade planed for the future. Those things get huge and are very aggressive.

 

[klondike4001]

In about 2 years I will be upgrading, to an inwall probably 300ish.

 

[tas5tas]

That's good to know......I've wanted a sohal forever, but I'm only setting up a 125g so it's out of the question. Maybe when we build another house I can plan out a fish room for an in wall tank. That won't be for a while though since our house is only 2 1/2 years old.

Small Update:

 

[tdmiata]

Nice, first two pictures, what are they?

 

[klondike4001]

They are christmas tree worms.

 

[tas5tas]

What lights are you using now??

 

[klondike4001]

2X 250W Reeflux 12k's

 

[tas5tas]

They look really blue!!! Are they dimmed?? They look nice. I run my 12k Reeflux dimmed, but I'll be switching to Radiums when I replace my bulbs.

 

[klondike4001]

Actually more of a purple than a blue, I'm not a fan at all, I'm going to be switching back to reeflux 10k's shortly. They aren't dimmed.

ya looks pretty solid. you might want to consider another set of leg supports but, on the inside. you have to consider wear and tear. you might get a slow leak thus weakening the wood supports. There is a chance someone might accadently bump into your tank. I would give it more vertical bracing. wood is cheep. canada is the second biggest country on the planet
