    Hipshooter14 75g+ build thread

    Hey everyone I have started my first big tank after a friend and a biocube got me hooked in this never ending hobby. I have used the forums and the net for help and think i got a good start on it all but always open to suggestions or more knowledge from those who know more than I do. I am gonna try to make a build thread to get info and thoughts from members and dont be shy let me know if i got something wrong. Gonna try and put some pics up so yall can judge my set up. Thanks everyone

    You need to resgister with a hosting site like Photobucket, or TinyPic in order to share your pics on most forums.
    Upload pics from your computer to the hosting site, and then you copy and paste the code here.

    I don't know man...looks like you know what you're doing to me!

    Your fish room has a bit of a mad scientist flair to it, and I like it. One word of caution though, saw the butts...hope you aren't smoking down there. There's all kinds of toxins that will get into your water and screw things up over the long term. It might make skimming kind of funky too.

    I'm a reformed smoker...I know, I know. We're the worst.

    Looks good though!

    How about an equipment list? Water volume turn around, etc...
    You planning on a QT process? Looks good though.

    Re: Hipshooter14 75g+ build thread

    mad scientist almost I just like to build crap and how "I" want it and i only have had a couple smokes while working down in the basement but the plan is to build a movable bar infront of the tank and thats gonna be awhile before that happens. Ive got a 10 gallon drilled to put above as a wavemaker and thats why my stand is eight feet long cause i wanna add a 40 on top later and then have two tens down below one for a qt tank and another for clown fry if they ever mate and both will be fed from a valve coming of the sump/fuge and so on. I was a electrican before and have ideas for the future to make a panel with lighted dip swithches for every piece of equiptment i got but first it needs to cycle than fish and coral than the real tinkering will happen after my wallet can catch up.

    For about $30 you can't go wrong with these:

    Amazon.com: American DJ PC-100A 8 Channel Power Strip with Lighted Toggles: Musical Instruments

    They sell them at Guitar Center for the same price. ;)

    Re: Hipshooter14 75g+ build thread

    thanks for the link to the lighted toggles but my plans are much greater than a power strip with lighted switches because i know i can do it much better and look alot nicer if thats how you spell nicer. Anyways I am waiting for the tank to cycle and mature a bit before i start dong alot to it but i got ideas and half of them will happen I promise ill try to keep you all posted with pics now and than
