    MrGone's fish tank room

    I did some more programming on the Reef Keeper Elite tonight and must say I am very impressed with it. I knew what it was capable of but it is so much fun to play with. I setup my calcium reactor tonight. I'm using an AquariumPlants.com electronic CO2 regulator with a Geo CR618 reactor (which...

    Tropic Eden substrate

    I bought some of the Tropic Eden Aragasnow and have to say I love this stuff, it does not dust like the CaribSea Ocean Direct live sand (probably not a huge deal if you aren't adding more to a tank) and it is very consistent and does not have chunks of stuff in it. I wish I would have tried this...

    I also added some clams to the tank, after two years of waiting I finally have some and they are a lot of fun! I used some old store credit to buy a Regal Angel and a couple other fish online (which I'm glad to be done with. Everything looks good this order but in the past I had too many fish...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    I ordered two Koralia 1400's for more flow, I didn't like the new mounting style so I retrofitted the shorter pegs from the new ones onto the older style mounts. This system also outgrew my RKL so I ordered a RKE SL1, SL2, and PC4. There are also two more PC4's, one out in the garage to...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    I used some CAT5 and a dual outlet 6P6C box to make an extension for my Reef Keeper. This one is running along the length of the stand so I can keep most of the controller equipment in the back left corner while keeping the head unit itself on the left side of the 125 gallon tanks. I hope that...

    I would love to have a fleet of 70-71 Challengers and Cuda's, I'd run out of money before I had all the color and option packages :D Toss in a couple M cars, a few Japanese cars, few other American cars, should be pretty happy :D

    I can talk all day how much I love my xi, I definitely hear you on the room though. I love it but the most common thing I hear from passengers is a tie between its size and how low it sits (which is funny because the xi's sit 1" higher than the RWD cars). It works perfectly for me though :) At...

    For a new X5? My best friend was a master tech at Bellevue BMW and raves about the previous model, I can ask him about the new ones. I know for the old ones the 8 cylinders could actually get better fuel economy than the 6 cylinders. If you are interested in selling the 3 private party my Dad...

    If I had a little more disposable income I'd have a really hard time not going to the dealer for either of those cars, they really did an amazing job.

    I'm not terribly familiar with the E39's, IIRC only the 2001 and up came with angel eyes right? Are your DRL's the inside halogens? I think you'll need to have the dealer turn them off. You could rewire it to have the DRL's signal the angel eyes, but IMHO it would be better to have them come on...

    I spin a wrench or two occasionally :) My toy line-up before I sold the Durango a few months ago :( My winter beater :D My first car, purchased 12/31/2002 (hood tach is a joke, goes away when I buy and retrofit new gauges into the car) Trouble 2010 was a good year for the Mustang, after...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    Thank you! I bought some cabinets on sale at Home Depot yesterday and hung them today. The bottoms are actually the uppers from the kitchen before remodeled it. Now I won't be yelled at for leaving test kits in the kitchen :clap2:

    Nope, not yet. Monitoring it closely, the copperband has been in the tank a few days longer than the corals now. All the fish were pretty happy to have the corals come back though and the copperband was swimming around all of them. It mainly just picks at the rocks. It's really cool, all the...

    Steel Stands

    Awesome! they cut through steel like butter!!! My friends Dad has a plasma cutter and they are pretty sweet but I've really only used it for car projects. A mandrel bender would be awesome! I would never leave the shop haha.

    Thanks guys! Jay, I am running two Radium 250w SE bulbs and the middle is an eBay 20k 250w SE all three run on Lumatek ballasts. I have actinic lighting for the setup but it will not be installed until after I get the lumenbright style 3 reflectors made and build a light rack for it all. Those...

    Thanks for all the compliments guys! I still feel like there is a lot to do, but tonight I spent two hours transferring corals around. I wasn't terribly happy with the aquascape at first but the fish like the caves and the corals just kind of fell into place so now its only a matter of time! :D

    MrGone's fish tank room

    That's an awesome idea haha! Actually my plan was to put a couch in the room but I have quite a bit to do before that point. I added my first new fish today, picked it up from Barrier Reef Aquariums (a local LFS)

    haha thank you! Although I'm hoping when I'm done it won't look so much like an LFS :-/
