i think that bucket is going to be there for years before i go through it all lol

gotta bring it home i guess lol

Too put a cost to it is hard, cause most of the livestock came from my tank at home, just kinda fragged and put in there

the tank cost me $80 so i figure there is around 200 total maybe?

Well desided to put a little nano tank in my cubicle at work, this has been quite the little project that has visitors comming by my cubicle everyday asking me questons and just to sit there and gaze at it

I started out with a little JBJ nanocube 6dx that i bought second hand off a fellow reefer here in Edmonton (on canreef)

added around 5lbs of rock and some sand, sat like that for about a week, the water i trucked in from the tank at Dad's house so i used nice established water

now i have added some softies, ( Zoo's, Open Brain, Xenia, GSP and a couple shrooms)

its looking really good and thought i would share some pics of it

Oringinal link? where?

Linky no worky

THx Guys, the Tank isnt even a year old yet lol

the tank 6' x 2' x 2' 180gal

75gal sump

there are 3 175w MH and 540w of Antinics plus the little moon lights lol

so far so good, just couldn't let him fade away in the store, he is eating everything that we feed, so only time will tell

Pic 2 is a toadstool leather, and thank you all for the comments!

Dad and myself have put a lot of time into his tank, but as with any tank, i dont think it will ever be finished lol

and to think, that picture of the clam, it a macro lol, that clam is less then half an inch in size lol

here are some new shots of Dad's tank, hope you like

Personally, i dont trust any hitchhiking crap, they always seen to get my fish

whenever i find one, it gets banished to the sump

Josh, Let me know when your going to do this order, i am going to need some Rock for the new tank

I have order LR from them last year and was quite happy with it! i might be doing an order here in the next couple months, need 120lbs for the new tank

20gal thats Drilled and overflows, will be running a 10gal sump

What about somthing like this?

The only problem with the Vendor forum is people take things personal, you cant read emoition and thats the main issue

If there was a way to lock a topi after the review was posted then things would not get out of hand IMO

Personally i just hate seeing all the slander that goes on here on this board, either ppl need to chill out a little or just PM the issues, there is no reason to air dirty laundry out in the open like it has been in the past with a select few old members

Lookin at maybe doin a Shellie tank, any thoughts on these guys?

Difficult to find nice stock or pretty easy?

anyone here bread them at all?

any Special requirments?

ect....

well i would have some snails and hermits in there at least for now, then look at a cleaner shrimp

Josh, We will take

Small rock covered with about 50-60 zoos (all brown skirts, mix of orange and green centres) - $20

Small rock covered in Red skirt/green mouth zoos (about 25 polyps, also has caulerpa embedded in it) - $20

"Edmonton Eskimo" zoos, bright green skirts/orange centres & mouths (15 polyps) - $30

can you bring them to the meet?

also do you have any pics of the others?

we might look at all your Zoos if you want to do a package deal :beer:

I dont know about that, really the only SW livestock i lost has been a snack for someone else in the tank lol

*** Please do not try disassembling any computers with a built in monitor until you learn how to properly ground a CRT. Seriously... very dangerous.

This is beond dangerous. We're talking laying in a puddle of urine 10 feet away with a huge burn on your arm, if you're lucky you might wake up again.

When the above happened to me I had the proper equipment to do this and had been trained on CRTs and high discharge stuff like battery backups as well. I don't know if I actually touched it or not, I can't remember. This was far from the first monitor I ever took apart either.

If anyone wants to try this I will ground out your CRT for you if you bring it to me free of charge. Provided I can find my tools, I have no idea where I put them.

Also keep in mind that a CRT can hold a charge for years at a time.

This is somthing i fully agree with, I have seen this fisrt had as well, not to me, but to a co-worker, put almost through a wall, it was bad and very scary

I would take Midgetwater up on his offer if you where to attemp this

I have a couple old Blueberry Imacs, sounds like it could be a cool little project

Here some macros of Dad's Tank

Anyone know what this white stuff is? it just started growing on the rock

and please excuse the hair alge you see here as well, cant find a way to get rid of it

I would personaly like to see a Front end site to AA, resent post, Local alberta news ect....

A members Gallery ect...

If you guys want i can build a site with full CMS and everything

NVM just saw that they are now Split in to 2 different catagories
