Dirt4dinner's build up

[dsfdbutterfly]

Yeah, so u say. I think u need a new title after seeing that! Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!

The build really does look awesome. I wish mine sat against a wall that I could just plumb it right in instead of hauling water back and forth. Course the guns I'm sporting now may make up for it . Can't wait to see that thing full of life and u posting all ur success.

Oh how I remember when ours was still new, nice and shiny. Now get that baby wet. It kinda looks like it's hungry for some macro's and such! I love the feeling of having a new tank for a change. As much as I loved the 180G, (bought it used), sometimes it just feels good to get brand new one. When the 180g took a dive, we bought 2 matching 45g tanks Pentagon shaped tanks to sit in the corner's on each side of our beds. One is my Seahorse Tank, and the other one is the remainder of the 180g and very few coral we have left. Sarting over kinda sucks, but these will do until we can swing a big big one! I still haven't found the right look for that tank quite yet. Anyway, your new 'toy' is on it's way to the ocean! Enjoy!! .....Angel :angel2:

Well, this might be the last post for awhile but I thought I would share the inside of my stand. I just got my American DJ light control box installed today. It is a 4 switch box that will be used to turn off my powerheads at feeding time. I have another box that I might set up for other stuff down the road, but only need one for now. I am debating wether to install the other 2 powerheads I have, but when/if I do they will also be plugged into this DJ box. I also hung a powerstrip on the inside of the stand, and have another identical strip if I end up needed more outlets. If you look past the skimmer you can see the UV sterilizer...large black PVC looking deal (you can only see about 2" of it in the background). Any questions...shoot! -DIRT

Ok,
I got a little aggressive on stocking livestock, and some of you will repremand me for it, and that's fine! I probably deserve it. But I found a person who was selling off their tank and wanted someone to take the livestock. I got this stuff for an amazing deal, and am willing to do the necessary water changes to keep everyone happy.

Without further ado;

Here are my new fishies! Hi-Fin Firefish Goby, Barred Goby, Scooter Blenny, Lawnmower Blenny, Flame Scallop, Coral Banded Shrimp, Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber, Fighting Conch, and a handful of bumblebee snails, and Asteria Snails. Everyone was anxious to eat this morning, and see to be having fun setting up their territories in their new home. Enjoy the photos...probably a few posts worth...I have lots!

you gotta love tuperware man !! Im impressed buddy. When are you gonna start another setup ??

[Whoyah]

Lookin good. I would recommend adding some pods for the scooter blenny to eat. Very cool fish but they will starve in a tank weak on pods. Trust me I know.

[Dirt4dinner]

Thanks for the advice! I will pick up a bottle of Tigger Pods tomorrow. I also feed my tank weekly with Reef Stew, so they should be good to go. But there aren't going to be many native pods at this point. All 4 fish happily ate breakfast this morning, which consisted of Cyclopese, frozen mysis, frozen brine, and phytofeast to make it liquid. They where LOVIN' it! Which is a good sign. I just did a water test too, and nothing has changed at all, except my alk is finally up over 6, and my calcium dropped from 480 to 410 with the alk change. I will keep everyone posted on the new family members!

Bobby, no more new tanks! I have the 6 gallon nano too.
