Not to rub it in... BUT.. BIGGER TANK!

Well that's a new one! Nice!

Ok, one of the reasons

done with 90% of the plumbing!
Pvc is expnsive!!! I've spent close to $40 so far to get the overflows done.

LEDs were supposed to be here yesterday but they got delayed so I wont have them till next wedesday. A little frustrating but I have some other lighting I can use until then..

Gotta find two more people to help me move this tank, anyone? I pay in frags or part a/b supplements (however much a/b you need)

That's great, Eric! And, yeah, I know PVC gets expensive, and sucks that the LEDS got delayed...

Nicholas volunteers himself for the task. I might be of help...not sure if I can actually lift an aquarium that big...

Oral support?

I got one of my other friends too so I'm thinking one more person and we should be ok. (4 of us total)

I'll only be moving the tank about 15ft so it should be too big of a deal



Huge thanks to Nicholas btw!!

I found this guys tank yesterday on RC and fell in love with his fish selection..

Considering doing something very similar with the new tank

Nice fish! He has the circus goby that I want...

Yes, the gobies were really impressive!

his whole tank makes me wish i had a cube

Ah I love cubes.

plumbing - check.
return spray bar - check
6 trips to the hardware store - check
people to move this - check
stressed out week - check

Tank is getting emptied right now.. all the fish are out and sitting in 3 x 30g rubbermaids. Ro unit is working finally!

yellow coris wrasse is chillin in the sand. Gonna be fun to find him -_____-


On a much sadder note, my clown tang, fred, has diseapered. No bones were found. Was not sick and was eating fine. Disapeared 3 days ago. Totally just made this whole move suck

I'm sorry to hear it Eric, Fred was beautiful Don't let it get you down too much though! This new tank will be great!

Aww man, that sucks . Sorry Eric.

I guess that's one of the bummers of salt water; you usually don't have much in terms of remains or always find out what happened.

Did find the bones of one of my old anthias. Kinda cool

I also realized that I have 4 inches of sand in my tank. and it is DENSE. might have to get rid of half for the new tank.. anyone looking for sand?

got the new tank in!!!! took 4 teens to lift it. HEAVY.

Glad you got it in man. We didn't get home until after 5

Ouch my apologies.

Well pluming is half done.. pics soon hopefully!

Sorry about Fred... Maybe you'll find him

Glad to hear you got the new tank set-up, though

Update:

no fred bones.

pics of new tank under all actinics, please excuse the noise

Still sad to hear about Fred, but I look forward to meeting the next clown tang! . The aquascaping looks great man. I love how open it is.

Thanks!

Anyone reading this is always more than welcome to come see the tank btw

I'm still a little frustrated with the rock. Think it looks too crowded still.

Looks good, Eric!

You might just feel that way due to the length of the tank as compared to it being a cube shaped one.

Hmm perhaps.. i just removed another rock and am planning on removing one more. Will try to get pics up later

Ok, aquascaping should be done for a while..
