    A Golden Reef Tank

    I already had the filtration room drawn up multiple times before leaving WA. I have really grown to like SketchUp for planning larger projects. The first task when we moved into our new place was to build a workshop to build out of. You can see the process at the local club forum (for Denver)...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    This is the view coming down the stairs. We opened up the wall on the left and put in the arches. The 48" x 85" opening to the left is where the aquarium will fit through the wall into that back filtration room. The sink and washer machine will go against the far wall from here. You...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    By the way, the awesome frag tanks I mentioned in the post above were made by Jason at CFI before I left WA. He does great work. I wish I had a contact like him locally.

    A Golden Reef Tank

    Hey! Congrats on the store! I've been out of it for a long time, when did you open the place up? Want to move to Denver? There's only one store in the entire state worth shopping at. Cris at Aquatic Art just made it in Coral mag a few issues ago. He's got a great store, otherwise you have...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    The access door to the filtration room isn't drawn in, but you get the idea. RO/DI will likely go along the wall to the right in this image below. The refugium will go to the left as you enter the room. The QT system is along the opposite wall separate from everything else. I had a crazy...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    Here is what I sent to the manufacturer to get the ball rolling. They proposed an alternative to the eurobracing I had drawn in. They're going to put a metal framework around the tank top (and bottom I believe) to brace. The dimensions here generally represent what's being made. The...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    I'm calling the thread "A Golden Reef Tank" for two reasons. The first is obvious: I live in Golden. The second is a much geekier reason. My background is in embedded systems (a computer with a dedicated function within a larger system) and computer software. I'm also an electronics tech with a...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    I've been preparing for this project for over 3 years. So, I'll get right to it! I live out in Golden CO and have been planning some sort of peninsula tank since I took down my SPS tank in WA in preparation for our move to Co. I just put the down payment on a tank that is being ordered through...

    What happened to this forum?

    Hey D! Glad to see you're still around. All is well. My "dry" spell has lasted longer than I had hoped. I'll be wet again soon enough.

    What happened to this forum?

    Hey everyone! A few of you might recognize my screen name. I moved to Denver a year ago, had to tear down my Washington tank a year before that. It was pretty depressing. Anyway, I finally placed an order for a custom tank. I'll post up a thread here. I miss the WA reefing community. The...

    Halmus' 120 Reef Tank

    Thanks. Unfortunately, the tank has been down for almost a year now. I am getting ready for a move to Denver soon. I've been working on my website to document this build, other builds/projects, and future projects once I get settled in Denver. I have plans for a big tank. I'm looking...

    here the start of my 360 gallon build

    You might want to make sure you have an extra bulkhead on hand just in case. You can't always find the one you want when you absolutely need it. I've cracked a few bulkheads from over-tightening. I switched to using SC-80 bulkheads. They're a lot tougher.

    New get together pig roast? frag swap? something?

    Is there a date set for the BBQ? I hope I can make it before moving to Denver.

    Who wants to be able to swim with your coral?

    Things have been pretty quiet with the development of the project because we've been focused on completing a lot of documentation requirements for the University. That is almost done for now. One team member is focusing on the obstacle avoidance. We'll post details about how that turns out...

    here the start of my 360 gallon build

    Nicely done with the spacing. Did you use a jig, or are your eyeballs that highly calibrated?

    Advanced Aquarist LED Review

    Congrats on the write-up. I just happened to stop by AA this evening and happened to see a familiar business there in the spotlight. Dana had good things to say.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    I actually was joking a little bit. I have nothing against the scrubber. I actually like the idea of them even if I would never have one myself. It just seems that those that are proponents of the technique treat it like religion. "live and let scrub". That's my attitude. I still like my fuge.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    Turd in the punch bowl. He's right everyone. We need to get serious here. It's time to compare skimmer sizes. Let's talk about important things like turf scrubber propaganda, because we haven't seen that thread pop up in a few days.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    Earlier, some moron mistyped something about pigs butt. I won't mention any names, but his screen name was Halmus. It reminds me of the example I once heard concerning correct grammer: Example 1: "Let's eat, grandmother!" Example 2: "Let's eat grandmother!"
