I think that they are looking for me Charlie.

surfnvb7 · 06/05/2007, 04:14 PM

any updates?

manderx · 06/06/2007, 01:16 PM

not till this fall when i put it back up.

the sandbed started going funky (southdown sucks) so i pulled it out and things weren't happy with that so decided to break it down for the summer and stick all my fish and corals over at a few different people's tanks. it was perfect timing really. i'm going to be on the road alot this summer (maybe a month straight), i was afraid of summer heat now that i'm running 250s from 175s (which were hard enough to deal with last summer), and i've been wanting to cook my rocks for a while now (they are over 12 years old).

for kicks i'm gonna put a few freshwater fish in it for the summer. just some neons, hatchets, corys and few rams. not so many that i can't move them into a 40br when i go back to salt.

Let me know if you want some fw plants, I pruned out and tossed a bucket full couple of weeks ago.

manderx · 06/07/2007, 04:30 AM

i'm *totally* up for some plant clippings. next time you prune, gimme a PM (or send an e-mail to 5409217601@vtext.com ) and i'll run right over....

coolfish5 · 06/07/2007, 06:11 AM

I have some fw plants if you want some as well.. I have a few java fern and tons of java moss if you or anyone is interested.

manderx · 06/07/2007, 07:22 PM

Milleme · 06/21/2007, 03:09 PM

Sick tank bro! I didnt read the whole thread but i will..... But how tall is the tank? srry if i missed it

manderx · 06/22/2007, 10:20 AM

leeweber85 · 03/28/2008, 09:12 PM

how about an update?

manderx · 03/30/2008, 08:55 AM

just running a 30br holding tank for now waiting on funds to build a new acrylic tank.

Is this the cube ? That is too bad, sorry to hear that, and surprised that the glass started to crack. I have a drilled 30g with skimmer/sump/stand if you need another holding tank. I would like the skimmer back when you are done but you can keep the rest if you want.

manderx · 04/05/2008, 01:17 AM

i'm fine on tanks, thanks though. i hope to have something for you very soon though....

here are some of the cracks. they are *very* small, and the only reason i noticed them is because they picked up the light and sparkled. probably a dozen or so total if i remember correctly. i think it's a lizard tank at the moment.

leeweber85 · 04/08/2008, 08:41 PM

Odd, I've never seen cracks like those before.

dooleyb · 04/09/2008, 05:37 AM

Those cracks are strange indeed. You were lucky to catch it when you did. Makes me want to go home and check the bottom of my tanks.

Is this the tank you had with supports on only the four corners? Do you suppose that had something to do with it although it looks like there was a major rock collapse and the rock hit the bottom of the tank?

jocoxVT · 04/09/2008, 05:48 AM

If I remember correctly those were on the side of his tank.

manderx · 04/09/2008, 07:14 AM

it was on the front pane, otherwise i would have never seen them and they would have probably gone all the way. the stand was cinderblocks in the corners (and at 8x16 supported more than just the very corners) with 2 sheets of glued&screwed plywood overtop. it checked out as flat and level and i used foam under the whole tank as per GC's instructions.
