Nice that you have it where the jugs aren't seen. I like the rockwork.

Skrillex · 08/08/2009, 02:24 AM

Hammsreefbeer · 08/08/2009, 03:06 AM

This is got to be a joke,right?

ddinox64 · 08/08/2009, 09:24 AM

Hammsreefbeer · 08/08/2009, 10:24 AM

Like i said "sorry".I was tired at 2am and wasn't thinking and it came out wrong.
I didn't mean the tank was a joke just the build thread part of it.You can build a 10g in a couple hours.But who im i,I've never did a build thread on my tank.

Someone likes pretzels from Costco.

Hurgoth · 08/08/2009, 12:13 PM

No offense taken. I had a fussy baby in my arms this morning so I am extra sensitive.

To be honest, the tank is a bit odd. But that is what gives it personality.

I have about 10 of these containers. I've been saving them for a while and using some for various fish projects.

They are the best pretzels around though.

True, I keep my jug around the computer at all times, lol.

What're you going to have in the tank?

Hurgoth · 08/08/2009, 12:55 PM

Right now I threw in a couple of snails and baby hermits. The consensus in the house is to put a pair of clowns and an anemone. Either that or a bunch of small gobies.

I'll probably go LPS, Zoas, and Rics since I am most familiar with these.

Here was my old tank before the crash:

While I was putting this thing together I found out that one of my fish had survived my tank crash that happened months ago. He was in one of my tanks that was cycling live rock. The tank he was in had salinity that was off the charts, and quite frankly was the tank that I threw all of the dead and dying coral. I have no idea how he survived in there. He must have been hiding in a rock when I tore everything down.

Here he was in the nasty tank:

Here is today fully acclimated. Keep in mind that I had the water and LR cycling for months before adding so I don't have much of a cycle in the small tank. The tank is too small for him so I will most likely end up finding him a home.

i guess most peeps here are use to 300 G+ build.
but your built are very resourceful and nice.

gemini aquarius(t) · 08/08/2009, 03:42 PM

What kind of fish is that? he is very cool

Hurgoth · 08/08/2009, 04:07 PM

Arabian Pseudocromis (sp?)

gemini aquarius(t) · 08/08/2009, 04:11 PM

He/She is pretty cool. did you have any problems with yours on the reef?

Hurgoth · 08/08/2009, 04:20 PM

Totally reef safe. Kind of a bully to newcomers in the tank but got along with the clowns and pygmy angel. Lots of personality.

gemini aquarius(t) · 08/08/2009, 04:39 PM

Well i might get one

birds"n"fish · 08/08/2009, 05:25 PM

savethereef · 08/08/2009, 07:36 PM
