oh, I appreciate it. Just wish they werent so darn expensive. They used to be $40 and now they are well over $100. Just dont get the fish pricing thing lol
Thanks bribo, I would love to get one but the price tag is scaring me away. :-(
I am going to have to cut my fish spending for the next few months as I need to buy a new computer for the new warcraft expansion coming in November. lol
I also blew alot of my budget this month on the radion getting fixed. booooo......
Carey liveaquaria.com has the white tail bristletooth tangs in stock again I just ordered on from them. I remember me and you having a conversation about them forever ago.

Yep, I suppose I should post the betta build here as well, keep it simple. lol
The nitrites went down the other day so I moved over a bunch of coral. No fish yet, gonna wait on that part. Wanna get the coral thing figured out first.
Really loving the radion with the 3rd gen led's, it is uber bright, I have it at 40% for now and everythign but a birds nest is on the sandbed. Just to be sure. Dont want to torch all my corals again. :-(
Once I get them all moved into suitable locations I will drop a bomb of photos here. lol
I so love taking pictures! hehe...
Ok, so 2 tanks down and 3 to go! woohoo...
I guess we'll go with the 60g rimless. It's my current build in progress and has the nicest gear so here she is.
Deep Blue 60g 24 x24 x 24 rimless cube
A BEAUTIFUL custom made stand that took like 6 months to get finished and had to be returned once for adjustments. lol
I have a radion for the lighting which hangs from a set of dual hanging bars from current. I paid like $80 for the pair but it made it so easy to set up the lighting, I know I could have made my own with some conduit but that is SOO not me, not very creative and handy only to a degree.
A 20H sump partitioned for the intake, skimmer and return pump. No refugium, I never had much luck with them so skipped it here. I have a Tunze skimmer, 9006 which is rated for 158g. Standard aqueon pro heater just like ALL my tanks have and thats all I have running in the sump for now.
I have an ecotech MP10es as well for the flow. The return pump is a mag 9.5 which is pushing a good amount of water so the mp10 isnt really even cranked too high and the flow is pretty darn good.
So far, there is just a hige pile of live rock sitting haphazardly in the tank, say about 70lbs or so. I had been cooking it out back for over 5 MONTHS and believe it or not there are like 100's of feather dusters all popped out, bright green ones and even some zooas!! The rocks were in a brute garbage can out back since I got the 180g back in like November and there has been zero light shined on those rocks and yet the life is still there! Its so awesome to see, I don't quite understand how they all made it out alive after that long in cold water, no light and with dosing of ammonia up to 4ppm throughout the last few months. But is goes to show you that "life will find a way" ( who knows where that quote comes from??anyone?? lol)
My plans for this tank are absolutely and completely up in the air right now.
I have the equipment to go which ever way I want with it but have no clue what I am gonna do with it. lol You guys are gonna have to help me out when the time comes.
The only thing I want to do is make very tall structures with the rock, no piling it up, I want almost tree branch shapes that go high up, almost to the top of the 24 inch depth of the tank. I have special reef safe cement that I intend to use to fuse it together.
WOW, this post has really gone on and on...so sorry.....
But here are some shots of the 60g, it's such a great footprint for rockscaping but it really stinks as far as working underneath in the stand. lol So darn tight in there, makes everything difficult. lol
