DiverDaves New 90

[DiverDave]

Here are the first few picts of the 90 in progress. The rock has been in trashcans for weeks now. With the temp increase I was 'forced!!!' to start the set-up and get a chiller. (Or at least that what I told the girl friend). Here is the basic rock work. The grey stuff is DEVCON 11800 underwater epoxy. It takes 24 hours to fully cure and has the consistancy of canned marshmallow goo but I've glued rock to the back of glass unsupported with this stuff. I've attached a couple picts of the 20 gal that I'm moving up from. Thanks to everyone who has been supplying me with my reef addiction.

Here is a pict of the sump (thanks motoservdog), the skimmer (ETS 600), and the CA reactor (PROCALCIUM). In the far corner of the pict you can also see the 1/10 hp chiller (Pacific Coast). I hope to get all the plumbing and fixtures up tonight, lights tomorrow, and transfer the 20 over on Sunday. Once it's all up, I'll have a BBQ here for anyone who would like to come and see. When I lived on the East Coast as a member of the Chesapeake Marine Aquarium Soc. we would have tank shows on the weekends. I'd like to see something like that happen here (if not already in progress).

Thanks again for the support, have to get to work now.

So, basically, you don't really move the rocks around to clean the glass or under the rocks or anything then, eh? (I still pretty much have them 'balanced'). Or, able to frag outside of the tank?

[DiverDave]

Heck no. I don't move the rocks for anything. They are far enough away from the glass that I can clean without moving, and as for the sand, I have enough critters to keep that clean as well.

Looking suweet Dave!

[DiverDave]

In KOREA for a few weeks. Can't wait to see what's happened in the interim. Coral harvest inevitable. (In a James T. Kirk style) Must.....frag....corals......now Mr Spock! By the way, did anyone else know that Sulu was ***?

[tkang69]

Hey man, when you frag, let me know what you have. I'm sure you've got some stuff I'd like to get ahold of :) By the way, that frag of GSP you gave me is growing almost out of control :)

[DaChrisDude]

By the way, did anyone else know that Sulu was ***?

That's just disgusting.
