Here it is!!! I know the pics are crap but if I buy a better camera it will cut into my "reefer money" (no pun intended).


Ok This is one I'll have to talk to dakar about before I can get the pics up.

Looks like you figgered out how to get the pics added.... Tank looks good from what I can see... glass or acrylic?

Time to get that puppy wet!

[jojo22]

Glass!! Freshwater tomorrow, sand and salt in two or three weeks. Slow but cash don't grow on trees. I will be makeing 99.9% of the rock myself getting lighting (MH PC mix) in Jan. and hopefully be adding corals by July.
I talked with Greg and I am limiting the corals to only what I can purchase from members here so its kind of a CR only tank if you get what I mean.



I want to ask you about the attachment. When I added them it said internal server error, contact admin. I uploaded four pics and it only shows two. Maby something you can look at.

Glass tank and stand for $160, man did you get a steal!

About the attachments there are no errors reported in the database or log files (I get paged if there are) so I would have to guess that the pics were not finished being uploaded from your computer before you submitted the thread to post. None the less I'll research and try to duplicate the error.
Let me know if you have any more problems, you should be able to send up 5 attachments at a time up to 10 per post.

wow man, what a steal !! guess i will need to do some fragging for the "CR only" tank !! i got a few things that i think you will like already fragged and growing so give me a shout when you aer ready !!

[jojo22]

Yeah I think it will make a very interesting tank. It will be like june or july before it is ready for corals. I am going to use the garf recipe for rock so it is going to take forever to cycle enough to support any coral but I like the idea of saveing the natural reefs ( IF and it's a BIG if, I can get the rocks to look OK).

Don't know if you saw this thread or not, but here's soem real inspriration for making your own rock.

I really enjoy it when I can find the time to actually do it, and every now and again I screw up and come up with some good looking pieces.

Oh and here's the link to the thread!

DIY agrocete rocks

Time for the first question of what I am sure will be many. My overflow it EXTREAMLY noise at the back of the tank and where it exits into the sump. What can I do to help this???

[jojo22]

I just found my first major mistake, NO CHECK VALVE ON MY RETURN, this has been fived and now to find the slowdrip in the overflow plumbing.
