Late night thread!!

[nanoreefer22]

o0o0o I had leaks in my plumbing tooo. Didn't use thread seal of tighten the damn thing as much as i could have and it sprung a leak. I lost valuable saltwater...no more than a 1/4 gallon through a little drip but it still sucked to have to replumb

 

[jhale]

did you keep your neighbors up again hammering the floor

 

[herman]

My neighbor lover his drink even more than me. He cant hear ****!!! Lucky me

 

[nanoreefer22]

While we have the capable guys on the board - is glasscages a good maker of tanks or would I be better off getting an oceanic? I am planing on a 72x30x36high....

Whats the plan for lighting that tank?

 

[herman]

3 lumenarcs have not decided on ballasts or bulbs- hard decision

DO NOT GET AN OCEANIC TANK!

I've read horror stories recently of them busting.

Glass cages makes very strong but decent looking tanks, I got one and I'm happy with it.

It depends what you want to spend, in the long run if you have the money their are some kick a$$ tank makers out there that can make some incredible looking tanks. miracles in glass is one of them.

I'm gonna have to come check it out one day. I wanna see these lumenarcs in action.

whoa, 36" high is going to be impossible to aquascape and clean, unless your really tall. how long are your arms ? your going to get wet everytime you have to flip a snail over

stop yelling at my grandma :icon16:

You could build one of my snail building flipper overs....or i could build one for you for a quarter. Your choice. I'll sell you my designs (skewers scotch taped together) for a dollar. Just let me know what you'd rather do.

 

[herman]

I dont want to get a shitty tank but I dont want to spend too much on the tank itself. Glasscages is acceptable for me in price. Good to hear that they are good also. I do want to spoend on all the other equipment. I just got the skimmer deltec turbo1060/s. Crazy looking thing. I have seen the thing perform. I did a lot of research on that. I needed something powerful that was not 6 feet high. I want everything under the stand...

I would go with Oceanic, actually i did. I am very happy with my Oceanic tank they have a good rep.

I wouldnt make the tank 36" high, i was gonna do that myself till ppl told me that it would be a PITA as you will not be able to reach all the way in the tank when you need to. better off limiting it to 30" high, i didn and i dont regret it. it is also hard to get strong enough lighting that deep.

LMAO!!!! tell her to stop touching my PVC pipes when I'm tryna plumb my tank!!! She tried throwing my saw out lol...:joke:

Arm extenders anyone??

 

[spykes]

hmm well, i dont know what to tell yah, overflows were kinda chewed in, you gotta let them know specifically what you want, or else you'll get something that wont look want you hoped for. Other then that i seen jhale's tank looks good, steve's tank ok tank.

BBQ & beer baby!!!!!!! I should have it all within September hopefully..... Got a great view of the city here too. And cause the fire chief lives two doors down we can have bonfires here too.
A buddy of mine has the lumenarcs - huge - but awesome performance. He put in the 14k and the lighting is just incredible....

 

[alrha]

I did not set up the permeate yet

what is the point of this? just to save water? the wasted water really does not contribute much to my water bill. it is like 10 seconds of my sprinklers being on.

I have monkeyarms but you do bring a good point with the lighting... I dont want to end up with 1000 watt halides. That would kill me

hey albert,

I don't want to jinx you, but I've read some threads on RC lately of oceanics busting apart, I hope that NEVER happens to you. It happened to one person twice, ouch.

The one thing I like about glass cages is they will do anything you want, as many holes where ever. The guy is a bit of a challenge to deal with. I was nice to him and he built me a great tank. he's like the soup nazi on seinfeld, if you piss him off somehow it's "no tank for you" kind of funny but he does not care.
