orlando809 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Tell me about it my wife keep saying it smell like ocean in the house im like well thats how its going to smell when we go to the dominican republic this year so get use to it The chaeto still here come pick it up tomorrow is yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 LOL, the wife is always the first one to point out a smell. What's your plans for the stand for the tank? If you are not up for woodworking, you should check out the MarineLand stands. Katrina has a Monterey on her new tank and they are REALLY nice for a stock stand, not like you're accustomed to seeing. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2008/9/showcase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt find him for like 20 minutes. And the "pods" from the group buy really didnt seem there were very many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin1300 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks good. It's amazing how fast it comes together. I helped a friend do his whole first floor last year and a month after doing it, a deer busted through back door and demolished first floor and the actual flooring too!

orlando809 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 thanks,yes im going barebottom ive read lots of threads on RC and that convinced me to go BB i thought about doing that plastic alot of people use on BB tanks but not really what i want so asked scott from the alternative reef about some plates for a BB tank and he made them even though 2 of them broke while they were drying so he did not charge me for the plates btw i might need some help with skining the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
