A whole new dimension!!!

Here's a few boring pics to look at....lol.



Here's about 1/3 of the rock I added today. That's a lid from the largest Rubbermaid tote I have. To give you an idea of size, the lid is about 3' long.


LOL Ceiling fan right above the camera, you can see the pull chain. Okay, this is all the rock I added today. There's still LOTS of room. I'm sure I'll re-aquascape several times before I get it all in.




Ran out of water, so I put a pump in to circulate water, and called it a night.

Can't wait for the tank is clear pics, looking good so far Sid, good job. Nice Rock, cant' wait to see it under the lights

Tanks,
Robert

Tank has cleared up a lot!! Last night, it was still a lil murky, but I took some pics anyway. Then I just took a couple more pics. Here they are. Forgive the reflections...lol. Without lights on the tank, I can't take pics at night, with room lights out. Soooo, we get reflections.
Last night


Just a few minutes ago


Here, you can see a reflection of Angie's Nano.


Today, I will drill anti siphon holes in the outputs of the SeaSwirls. Last night, I tested the sump/fuge capacity, by unplugging the return pump. Before doing this, I bent the Locline Y up a bit, to get it closer to the surface. By the time everything drained, I still had room for about 8 1/5 gallons in the sump/fuge. While doing this, I'll also do away with the locline Ys and replace with a single locline flare on each SeaSwirl.

Might also get around to adding more live rock today.

Last night, I tested the water. The only thing that registered was a very slight reading of nitrates. That was before I put the skimmer online.

Now we're cooking, I'm almost scared to see it full with the lights on, I'll most certainly be extremely jealous, I can't wait to get a bigger tank, mine is no where near complete and already I want bigger. Looks awesome man. Keep up the good work and the pictures, to quote my great and wise sage (Charlie knows who I'm talking about) we love pictures.

Tanks,
Robert

Charlie,

You can't kill him till he gets the tank finished, and with the size of that tank it's gonna be awhile

Tanks,
Robert

[charlie]

Ain't gonna knock him off, just take his beer.

[Parrothead]

It's always gotta be about the beer, You can have my cold beer after it gets warm and you pry my dead fingers off it.

Tanks,
Robert

[charlie]

Hey, yeah, it's all about the beer. You haven't seen ol' Sid drink beer have you???

[Parrothead]

Nope, sure haven't, what flavor does he like, might have to help ya get it

Tanks,
Robert

[charlie]

He's a Kokanee Gold type of fella, kinda like me. It helps when you drink the same kind, it is easier to find in my cooler.

[Parrothead]

Never heard of it sorry, I'm a fosters/Heinkein/St. Pauly's girl kinda guy. Is it anything like those?

[charlie]

I never had any of those, so I don't know.


Think we will ever let sid have his thread back???

[Parrothead]

With you and I in here, it's doubtful Brother, very doubtful, and he doesn't even know you plan on kidnapping his beer, maybe we should move this meaning conversation to my thread, or Maybe Sid would like it, you know him better than I do

[charlie]

Let's just leave it here, it'll be a surprise when he wakes up.

Time for dinner, I am starving.

[Parrothead]
