listen2bob · 04/03/2015, 06:09 PM

Stand is done except for waiting on doors

listen2bob · 04/06/2015, 06:05 PM

anybody have any fancy tricks for getting colonies off overflows and returns?

tagging along, loving this concept. and getting in line for opps frags, maybe try a stiff scraper for removing corals from the overflows, get behind them and twist. I'd be happy with even the tiniest of fragments of that ora blue

snake1 · 04/06/2015, 07:45 PM

Looks great ....+1 on the Ora blue frags if there are any broken pieces I would love a frag too

BryanS4 · 04/06/2015, 08:49 PM

Looks really good, wish I had that in my kitchen!

Any chance to hide the cord coming out the top for the lights? Maybe into the side of the wall? The whole set up just looks so clean not to have a single cord hidden.

Good job, overall looks cool.

Really looking nice!!

listen2bob · 04/08/2015, 06:23 PM

Today was tank transfer day. Not finished with the scape but it is getting there

listen2bob · 04/08/2015, 06:24 PM

CuzzA · 04/08/2015, 06:53 PM

Looks great. If I had anything to critique it would be that dang light cord. Perhaps you could get the clear lamp wire typically used for chandeliers and intertwine it through the chain holding the fixture. This will really blend it in and make it almost unnoticeable. Then just create a small access panel to plug it in with the outlet inside the box.

listen2bob · 04/08/2015, 07:34 PM

No can do, air duct above it and way too much going on in the wall at the edge of the tank.

snake1 · 04/08/2015, 07:40 PM

Stupid question is that still your 2) 150 watt hqi metal halides and what bulbs are they .,

listen2bob · 04/08/2015, 07:47 PM

Still the 2 150 hqi, Phoenix bulbs. It's less blue in reality

They look awesome and I still get the urge to go metal halide again.....especially when I see the awesome growth you have had ....and can't wait to see this new setup once established.. Nice job again

listen2bob · 04/10/2015, 03:14 PM

Waiting on doors but this is where I am at now,

toddmau5 · 04/10/2015, 03:16 PM

Surprisingly few. That entire front island came out in a single piece. Plenty of monti caps were dragged though, lol

anbosu · 04/11/2015, 10:27 AM

I'm impressed you got that whole piece out without crushing everything.

listen2bob · 05/24/2015, 03:22 PM

Finally got the custom doors stained and hung. Pretty much wraps it up for now.....maybe
