Well I finally got the tank done ready to be filled. Just hope it don't
rain tonight so I can fill the darn thing. But here are some pictures.
So tell me what y'all think especially Oliver.. hehe

nice job!

[corb66]

I bet oliver wants it back now! LOL

[ConUSsd]

Damn Good Job! Exactly what I wanted to do w/ the tank. It looks awesome! Can't wait to see it stocked and aquascaped.
;)

Hey Corb, actually yeah I wouldn't mind having it back but no where to put it. I never wanted to let it go to begin with. :( But I'm glad Cruzer picked it up. It's good to see the tanks progression.

But I'm now in the market for a 120g. I have a 5ft niche in my room so I'm thinking a 120 (4x2x2), anyone have one to sell? ;)

[corb66]

good luck in your search. We will have a 70G (48x15X24) that will be up for sale in a month or so...We got a new tank and stand and will be picking it up this weekend!

[tarmstrong]

What's your lighting set up? Looks great! Can't wait to see the final product stocked.

[elgordoinavw]

looks good,

Corb66, I may be interested in the 70 gal, can you send me some pics?

Cruzer, interested in selling the 90?

[MrKrispy]

wow thems some funky skis

[[Cruzer]]

Oliver, glad you like it. was hard to get it all done but was worth
it. Now my problem is filling the darn thing. Was only able to get
70 gallons of water last night (2 trips). Just hope this storm passes
though quickly.

The lights are T5's running on IC 660 and IC 430 ballasts. 6/80W bulbs
total.

nope thats it for now no water to fill it yet. If tomorrow is like
what the forecast said, no rain. Then imma be filling the tank.


where's the update on the super nano?

I don't have any new pics of it yet. It here beside me and looking
great. Plus what you posted looks great as is. But just in case
anyone wants to see here a link to their site : www.eco-sphere.com
they explain the whole eco system.


and what's up w/ the lights?... where's the MH?
You know me.. I'm a T5 freak.. less electricity, less heat and still
have almost the same brightness. Just no shimmering effect.

Tank filled with water and LR.. Left side is the tank is how it looks like now.. but LR on the right I redid since this pic. And who said T5's aren't bright.. no flash when picture was taken.

pretty cheap. Thats where I got the lights from for the 90.

Sweet tank!
Have you ever added up your livestock to find out how much your tank is worth? You can frag like a MILLION carpets for sure and sell them on ebay for $1 each! lol.
I could never get away with that kind of tank with My wife. That right there is a Divorce under glass my friend. ;)
