LOL - :D Today's our day.

Yeah, it does take up some space. I would have loved to get the Reef-Ready corner tank by AGA, but it was way too big for the area I was using. So drilling a smaller tank was my only option. As far as the sand, what you see in the first picture of Day #1 is all the sand pulled to the front...

I must admit... I was a little skeptical at first, but it's probably the best $50 I've ever spent. I went through and entire 20oz of CO2 a little faster than I thought, but I had orignally set the bubble count at 10bpm. Currently, I run it at about 6 bpm. But with a 20oz bottle, I appreciate...

Since I was setting up a reactor on my other tank I figured I would see about one for this system. I did not want to spend the same money so I looked for something cheaper and was happy with what I found. I end up and bought a ViaAqua ACRO-Cal reactor. The thing was only $35 and I still had...

I originally thought about a 150w HQI 14k with 2x36w PC actinics for this tank, but thought that it would generate more heat than asingle 250w SE 15k with no actinic supplementation. The higher kelvin bulb would give me a little more blue so there would be no need for the PC actinics. To combat...

So this was Day #1

50lbs of rock for this thing along with Reef Crystals salt. I used a new 15g tank for the sump and drilled it for an auto top-off coming directly from the RODI unit in the basement. I am not sure what I think of the aquascaping. It's not that easy trying to scape a corner tank. Here's the...

Not much beats Krylon Fusion - that stuff rocks! Here the tank is empty sitting in the living room. You can see the stand color matches the other wood fairly well. Thankfully! It's easier to get her to agree if things still look pretty!

Thanks! I can't stand those AGA stands. I canot believe they get that much money for them! Since AGA does not make a tank this small reef-ready, I drilled two holes for 1" bulkhead drains in the back corner of the tank and two 3/4" fittings for the return. I plan on running a Mag7 for the...

The contractor left the stain he used on the wood finish for the house, so I used it hoping to get the right tone... It took about 3 coats of stain and 4 coats of spar-urethane before I thought it matched the wood around the fireplace. Since the stand was going to be sitting in the living...

I bought a 36 corner from Sea Dreams and decided that the AGA stand was overly pricey for...well, garbage. I had to build a stand for it. AGA wanted $250 for their black particle board stand. I spent $80 at Lowe's and made this out of Red Oak. There are a few changes I should've made, but in the...
