  1. We are moving......again as we seem to do every few years so the tank is in the process of being broken down. My 88 year old mother now has a temporary Fish and coral pond in her basement. Ever since I was a kid (I’m 62) my mother has put up with my pets. Grass hoppers, ants, spiders, rodents, a chicken, turtles, snakes, lizards.....sea monkeys, cats, a dog, fish. I’m still doing the same stuff I did when I was ten years old. The temporary pond is a kids wading pool with an additional black pond liner added as a second liner. power heads, heater, skimmer, fish and coral are in. The rest of the lights are being hung tonight. Hopefully this all goes well. My last temporary set up during a move was a disaster.
  2. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Look at a new tank build at as an opportunity to improve on your present system. A fresh start. A word of caution about Plainfield. I don’t know where you live now, but if you move to the Plainfield area be aware that the Indianapolis airport is in your back yard. Due to family obligations we moved to Plainfield from Noblesville three years ago. We are next to Hummel park and the jet noise drives us nuts some days. Fed Ex jets (fully Loaded and at full throttle on take off to reach altitude) start their day at 4:00 AM. The bright side is....... you’ll never complain about your skimmer being loud again. And a +1 on the name KENT!!!
  3. Saturday is a work day but I’m going to do my best to make this meeting. No doubt in my mind Luis’ tank is a must see.
  4. The fan mounted on the stand failed last night after a years use. I was surprised how much salt had accumulated on the fan body even though It was blowing fresh air into the cabinet rather than pulling moist air through the fan. I mounted the new fan on the outside of the cabinet. I hope this one lasts longer. * This fan is extremely quiet, and moves enough air to keep things dry in the stand.
  5. Thank you, I’m going to try to keep posting stuff on the tank. There have already been changes. I’ve switched out my T5’s for LEDs and my refugium is now basically a frag tank. I Got the integrated frag tank idea from Ian, “Coralfarmer” I believe is his screen name. He has an amazing tank.
  6. Thank you, and thanks again for your help with photo posting. Now I’m “fishing” HAHAHAHA! Fishing, get it??!!? HAHAHA! for the best compression app. In the App Store.
  7. Thank you, I feel the same way about the rocks. At some point you have to just stop moving things and leave it alone, but I’m never 100% happy with what I end up with. Enough rock to create Caves and passage ways for fish, flat surfaces for coral, the more live rock the better, but not so much live rock that there’s no room for coral......drives me nuts.
  8. 6 months ago. The refugium has since been converted to a frag tank with live rock.
  9. When I received the doors I added a strip of trim that blocks the light from bleeding out of the stand at night. Also added some rubber insulation strips on the inside of the doors for the same reason. But the stand still glows after dark.
  10. No doors yet, no sump. A 5” Deep sand bed but no water at this point
