    125g Angelfish Tank

    Thanks for the well wishes! Of course I understand that the angels will grow and will eventually have to find another home. :) until then, we'll enjoy each other. Roscoe - I think the Blue Angel is my favorite, but I definitely think that the 6 Barred is a very overrated fish!

    125g Angelfish Tank

    Fed the tank twice after adding both fish. First feeding was a mixture of Spirulina/Brine forzen prep along with some New Life Spectrum Thera-A (anti-parasitic) pellets and a little Garlic Guard. The second feeding was a small square of carnivorous prep. The fish have been eating well for...

    125g Angelfish Tank

    As you can see in the above picture, I drilled the sump to house an additional pump to power a skimmer, however I chose not to install one at this time. I used to run an ETSS 600 XR, but there is no need for such a powerful skimmer on a FOWLR system. Therefore, a skimmer will be added, but not...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Day 5 Tank has finally cleared. Surprisingly, the rock I picked up has lots of color and life. There are several pieces with cup coral (tubastraea) still alive along with assorted shells, etc. On a side note, I HATE the stacked apples look, but there is alittle to do with 125 lbs of round...

    Divorce - she kept the house and the 180g in-wall tank. :( I have a new 90g I'm starting. Sorry guys - the dream is over.

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Alright, I've given up on the crown molding. I don't think it's needed and at this point I've spent more than I care to share on this trim job anyway! Every time I get one compound cut right, the other side gets messed up somehow and because I need such long runs of it, I would have to buy...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Well, there is still some work to do on this front access panel, but I wanted to see what it was going to lo like in place. Sketch: Actual: As you can see I only have the interior trim molding done on the left half and I also want to round off the bottom edge where I'll be pulling. I'll...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Crown molding can su^* my @$%... I think I wasted at least 12' of it and still have to buy some more to finish. Therefore, I set it aside and took a break to start on the front access panel: I still need to nail on the oak backing and interior trim molding, but at least this gives me a...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Here is a picture of things before I started cutting: In order to mount the columns to the wall, I first secured a few 2x4 nailers to which the columns would later attach: With the nailers, all I had to do was use a level to make sure the columns were adjusted to the right height and...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Alright, so something along these lines. In the columns and within the center rectangles the carpenter used a sort of door molding to accentuate the recesses as well as the addition of crown molding at the top and under the ledge which I am going to copy, but not going to spend the time to...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    Alright, well I went by Star on East Central as well as HD this evening. After looking at all the fancy trim, I went back home and looked at the carpentry throughout the house and I think a lot of fancy stuff would look out of place and I would REALLY like it to look similar to the rest of the...

    Bloke's 180g - It was bound to happen...

    I think I finally got the Ca Reactor dialed in to stabilize water parameters as well as figured how to get the skimmer to produce muddier skimmate. I think over the course of this week I will be catching at least two of the yellow tangs so if anyone is interested, let me know for they will need...

    LOL - come hang out. I am certain there is something I could have you do. :D Well, I got the T5 HO wired and mounted today. I only ran two of the four bulbs due to the demand for real estate on the lighting rack. I did not want to take up space under the MH reflectors. If more blue is...
