Starting a 10g

That kitten is adorable. Too bad kittens cause cancer. At least according to california. Anyways, thats going to be a HUGE stand. What size is the tank?

 

[Flake]

Yup. Half her face is a perfect tabby. Even if she does cause cancer, she's cute enough to be worth it. That's just the tank. I'm trying a plywood build. The stand is taller xD its a 200 gallon tank. I'm probably just going to stain it a cherry stain, something kind of red.

Can't wait to see pics when it's finished!

Someone in California xD

Looking good. :F It's just a skeleton of the stand right now, but after a weekend of effort, we wanted to get a glimpse of what it would look like, and I wanted a nap. I really should just suck it up and go make a DIY thread xD

Yeah i know i was just kidding with you Astronomy is amazing. Hes just being a hypocrite then xD But honestly, even the smallest things that go on in a SW tank are amazing. Like watching inverts sprawl away. Especially gobies that live in the sand. The pop their heads in and out and like drag food into their burrows. So its awesome IMO. Everything about SW is.

I think we can all relate to this! I sit and just stare and stare at the tank and thats when the woman starts to say that she has lost me to my tank. It is amazing and it is really better than TV. Its like having the Discovery Channel underwater shows in your house. I love it.

so are you going to have cabinet doors and such? and please do make a new thread. people are looking for a thread about a 10 gallon, not a thread about a 150-200 gallon tank lol! But seriously, start a new one. I am hoping for another reef build thread like neilanh's or ziggy's, think about it, you could be the new cool build thread!

 

[Flake]

haha. The last few pages have been fairly off topic xD I shall go make a new thread. Just for you. :]

 

[fishmonkey]

Yay!

 

[Etunes]

Post a link to the new build thread please.

Upgrade for this thread! Snails have done a killer job with the diatoms. Unfortunately they're being replaced with something new. It looks exactly like the diatoms only red and BRIGHT green. I think it's a coralline from what I can tell.

Everything else is fine and stable, the algae is just driving me nuts. I can't get rid of it. My substrate is far from white now.

 

[thominil]

Get some nassarius snails to help stir up the sand.

 

[Flake]

Will do, thanks.

 

[fishmonkey]

nice shrimp.

 

[thincat]

The bubblely red stuff might be cyano. Try rubbing it of, if it rubs off it's not coralline.

 

[fishmonkey]

but isnt it highly spreadable? the cyano if you rub it or scrtch at it and even a tiny peice gets somewhere else it can spread. kinda like a weed

fishmonkey (this relates to the previous page; I'm a little slow),

Not sure what tank you are looking at; it looks a little under 10g to me.

with a few extra 000000's
Flake; don't get too comfortable; you may find you have to share it with the fish some day
