    Default All about the Build My 95g

    Well I couldn't figure a better place to put this (if the mods want to move it great and thanks). I figure I'll take some pics as I go so everyone can see. Some of these are new items that I got in the tank.

    My wife picked up some pink shelled turbo snails, a torch coral, and a couple of black turbos to help clean the tank. She also got a blue and black goby for the big tank. I'm moving the Aquapod next to the big one to transfer everything more smoothly.

    P.S. in the pics of the live rock. When I opened the bag with the torch coral it had two very small brittle stars hitch hiking. That was the only one I could get a snapshot of. The other one disappeared into a hole before I could get the camera.

    Okay here are the last couple of pics for now and a while. I have to get the plumbing for the fuge and the u tube for the overflow before that is up and running. Everything else is going great. Shouldn't be too long.

    I am pretty impressed with the fuge parts that I bought. That's what's set in the 20g long. It's good and sturdy and should work well.

    Well the bottom of the tank cracked. AAAGGGHHH! Everything is in the sump tank for now and I'm getting quotes for a new piece of glass. I'm gonna put them back into the aquapod since it's up and running until I get something going.

    It actually was the tank itself. The 95g tank that cracked. It cracked from a corner on the front to about a foot from the corner on the back. It's okay. I called around ant got some quotes on glass initially. For a tempered piece of glass it was going to be $175.00 plus tax. Kinda expensive. So I went to a LFS and bought a 55g with the built in overflow. Just have to get everything set up soon. Have to paint the back tomorrow and then will go from there. Everythings looking good so far.
