id call it the bp oil spill crab

incase you all are woundering what a orange lvl is doing on my tank..lol..i got clever and needed somewhere to mount my stunner strips...so.......i mounted them to my plastic lvl and it will be cut to length

ok..here it is..im not completly done but its what it will look like when it is done..all i have to do i put the other mount on the bottom back of the stand then it will be better...i might have to get different mounts cause these allow the pipe to twist and could cause an accident that we all dont want..but none the less here is what i got for 18 bucks

So I bent my conduit thanks to the building major here at TSTC. I will post pics when I het home and begin to assemble it

Good news. I asked the electrical people up here at school if they could bend my conduit for me. They said yes. So tomorrow morning I will possibly have Yall some update on how my progress is going. I just didn't see any justice in paying 70 bucks for a conduit bender that I'd only use once. So that might be a downfall to this build for any who are think of doing a similar build.

sorry for the delay...im still looking for a conduit bender

pics posted backwards

all the parts needed for this build. cost me 18 bucks except for the conduit bender which im going to phone a freind on that one. not shown here in pics are 2 10foot peices of 3/4 inch conduit. the first and second pics are of hardware needed to mount to the back of the stand. the 3rd pic is of some retractable plant hangers that i picked up from home depot for hanging the lights and for ease of access when i add livestock or do a water change. and the receipt which has a grand total of $18.62.

ok guys and gals..sorry for the lil wait. hopefully i remember to take pics as i go but here are some b4 pics and parts pics in the next post

on a mission to build me light hanger cause i cant hang my lights from the celing(wife said so). so ill post some before, during, and after pics. hope all you like it.

not gonna make it. had to choose between building a stand for my lights or to spend 70 bucks in gas to go to the swap. i chose to build a stand. my loss but i really need to get these lights more than 2 inches off my water.

lots of vets here also..sweet..someone to relate to

i dont have a job yet. I worked for the United States Army for 3 and a half years as a Infantryman. Did one deployment to Iraq from 07-08.(man i wish it payed more) I got out in 2009 and im going to college at TSTC Waco for Automotive Collision and Management. I will be graduating this summer semester and will begin to persue a job in north austin area. I can paint awesomeness and i can fix many types of damage if i had the correct equipment of course. Also will be learning how to do estimating. I cant wait to get out there and make some real money.

i dont see why the couldnt be used in a media bag

I have some rox u can try also. Should b in Austin this weekend. Let me know

Idk about locally but first time I ran BRS rox carbon and it cleared up my tank crystal clear in just half a day

if you can find someone with a sheet metal break..we have one at school but i doubt it would be conveiniant for me to use or even get ahold of ur lights so i could do it

I don't claim to be an expert but I just had a huge outbreak of this stuff too. Check your tempatures guys and gals. It's heating up and temp fluctuation wi deffinatly make this stuff grow out of hand. I hope my advice is helpful

looks like a dino algae outbreak. ive read these happens with purple gorgoninas from florida

im glad im not the only one. thanks for all the good info

I was woundering if anyone is or has know someone to be alergic to salt for aquariums. I used coralife for the longest time and I have been fine with it. I recently switched to Red Sea Coral Pro and everytime I have to stick my hand in my tank to do something or move something my arms get really itchy afterwards. When I first opened the bucket and stuck an measuring cup in it, it felt warm and that it was gettin hotter. I washed my hands right away. They only itch for like 30 min or so then it goes away. I know its not normal but i wanna know if anyone else has had this experence

just posted pics of mine in the FTS thread

heres my dsa neo 90...36.5 X 24.5 X 25
