The new 210 gallon!

Yeah, it's not but just more of a PITA because it can be a little tough sometimes geting the wire to stick. Once you do a few of them you will be fine. It is tedious but is kind of cool just the same. The heatsinks that Rapid seals are pretty damn beefy. You can always just get a small fan (cpu style) and run it to help pull heat off.

Your going to need a tank up grade soooon, there is no room for anymore corals.

I felt like I had run out of room.. then I saw this tank! And realized.. I just need to be more creative!!

Scott your tank looks way better than that one IMO..

The XML s have already shipped. But because I'm not running them at there max (these bad boys can take 3000ma!!) and I'm only going to run them at a max of 1.3a or so, I should be fine. I will probably mount a desk fan in the canopy to blow across the heat sinks.

Thanks brother!! But he did manage to fit a TON of coral in there! How's your tank looking and hows the baby coming? When are you going to come see those frags I got from you?

Looks like there is a potential move in my future! Got an offer on my house that I accepted and is just pending bank approval. If so, I'll be moving the current set up and myself to a temporary location and building a place. My goal dimensions for the new tank and new house???


Hmmm, all I know is it will be 4ft front to back.

When the time comes for the moves, count me in

As long as I'm not working and you've got beer I'll be glad to help as well!

BTW, Scott, I meant to ask you what species of snails/crabs are those that you have in your tank? I need a bunch of little guys and those seem perfect.

I would also help I was not able to make it to the meet and get to see your tank in person but would not mind helping you at all and see it then

[Scott Allen]

Ya'll are godsend I will definitely need it!! And Wes, as soon as I get confirmation of the sale, I am going to have you start on a new sump for the tank. If I have to move I can at least get a proper sump in the process! Something that can hold a little more water volume! The move is a close one for now at least. I will be moving across the parking lot to my girlfriends place.

So, last night, my ridiculous over the top side of myself went shopping online and... I got a price on a 130" x 49.5" x 31" with low iron glass on the front and one side panel with external coast to coast overflows... only a cool $6500.. not delivered

Guess I have a lot of saving to do in the next year or so while I shop for a property! (or maybe get more reasonable about the dimensions... but what fun is that?)

[bluwtr]

Sure, be glad to. Just let me know what you may have in mind and I'll put a drawing together and see what you think.

I saw a tank like once,,, at Marine Life,,, they had their seal display in it.

Well.. My diy led project is currently at a stand still. I got to figure out exactly what's wrong and get a new multimeter. I'm stuck... I think I burned up the driver, not sure though.

But I did get some new adds!!!

Powder Blue Tang



Bangai Cardinal


Banded Pipefish and another unknown pipefish



Heniochus Butterfly Fish x2


And some corals I was able to get a decent shot of with my iphone..





A couple sponges growing on my Giant Squamosa clam
