Mike Mays

Will,

Give me a call. 512-827-1625. Since I only have the maroon clown, I would either put him in my son's tank or I would put him in the sump.

That's my boy! Now if we can get my tank to look this good! I'll be patient.

The only thing in my tank right now is one maroon clown and a conk. I could help. 144g 1/2 round T5s and MH. You can see a pic of my build in the tank build section.

What did y'all brace?

We mounted the halide in the front center of the canopy and didn't want to burn the center plastic support on the top of the tank. I called Oceanic and explained what we wanted to do. He initially said that the support was there to support the center of the bowing front glass. I explained that there was absolutely no tension on the center support and that it looked like it was there to support glass lids. He agreed that might be the case, but recommended we do something to replace that bracing. Here's what Mike came up with:

no pictures of the custom bracing?

Sorry, have to do that the next time the canopy is off. That SOB is cumbersome to handle by ones self. I'll get one taken though!

Day 3 - Lights. Ran into a bump. The pump's outflow had been "retooled" for some unknown reason and the hose blew off.

***Note to Self*** a Mag 18 w/o an out hose connected is a geyser!!!

New pump face cover on order. For now have power heads circulating the tank.

Thanks to all for your comments!

More to come...

Here's day one. Thanks to Warren and Kenny for all their help and guidance. I'm sorry we missed the meeting today, but next month will have to do.

More to come...

I would love to come to my first ARC meeting. I will be setting up my first tank with Kenny and Warren. We'll see how far along we are come meeting time.

Is there any large rock in your 100#'s?

How large is the rock? I'm preparing to set up enigma13's 144g 1/2 round tank and need some large rock.
