Get err done!

steve68 · 01/22/2005, 08:47 PM

LOL
way overdue

cseeton · 01/22/2005, 09:07 PM

And take away time from the production of CSI - Melev's Reef....

I think not.

Besides, think if the electricy he is saving my heating and lighting that living space, instead of saving it only for the fish room. IMO, wait until spring.

melev · 01/22/2005, 09:21 PM

Wow, I thought there was already 62 votes, as that is how many times this poll has been viewed in the past 15 minutes. I wonder why it only has 15 votes?

Who's viewing this poll over and over?

I'm of the variety that ceases all work once the tank becomes habitable. If I ever build my own house I guarantee you it'll still have tar paper on the exterior walls 20 years later.

yessongs · 01/22/2005, 09:27 PM

Marc, like my wife tells me "The cobblers children always go barefoot" so i voted for No I'll wait.
Take your time i understand.

DtheDude · 01/22/2005, 09:41 PM

silly Melev, are we talking about ourselves in the third person again? lol, j/k

Post a picture man, im not familiar with your woodwork although I must say your closed loop idea was rather inspirational

melev · 01/23/2005, 12:34 AM

Bumping to Page 1 again, for the late night crowd.

keckles · 01/23/2005, 12:46 AM

Who's melev?

nethawk73 · 01/23/2005, 01:24 AM

Late night and redoing my living room. Get the tank done man! Looks great though.
I figured this was the perfect weekend to start my 90. Since we'll be snowed in till monday.

Bomber · 01/23/2005, 06:19 AM

Marc, if you wait too long to finish. It can be used as ammo against you later. I know this.

Finish it.

charley75 · 01/23/2005, 07:42 AM

I was just over at Marc's house last night getting some help as usual. This time I took the wife with me....even she was in awe! I'm hoping she'll start wanting a bigger tank too. Maybe if I take her with me every time I go over there it will work. As far as the wood work goes...seriously, who cares. If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing the tank in person you'll know that you're too busy gazing jealously into the tank to even notice the unfinished wood work.
BTW, Happy B-Day Marc! Thought I'd post it here too.

juststartingout · 01/23/2005, 08:48 AM

Marc, Your the one that see's the whole tank view, it's up to you. When you post pictures of your great specimans, you usually zone in on just the fish/coral. When/if you start posting pictures of the whole tank, well, then I might just change my vote.

smooth_9 · 01/23/2005, 09:18 AM

finish it or not, whats the big deal I never noticed.

bergzy · 01/23/2005, 09:45 AM

ehhh,

it's always those 'little' things that seem to get in the way of having a reef, isnt it?

i voted 'i don't care'.

should've voted for who are ya's!

delta · 01/23/2005, 11:36 AM

better to do it when you are ready. It is hard enough to design and build the canopy so your happy with why worry about us

plus when do we see pic of a canopy right after someone DIYs it
then it just blend into the woodwork, so to speak

then everyone want to see full tank shots again

Thanks for the feedback. I think the voting should stop at 1000 votes.

Your much closer to a 1000 views

JosephineAd · 01/24/2005, 05:37 PM

I'm sorry but what are you talking about? What woodwork?

melev · 01/24/2005, 05:42 PM

This is about getting the canopy and woodwork down around the tank. A number of people have been pestering me in my 280g thread about getting it done, so I thought the masses should vote.

I am guessing he must be related to AEALOVESHERGIRLS over in the NTH Forum.

I can't find a picture with the full area! Do you have one somewhere? The only thing I can find are a million fish and coral pics.
