My 24gal "Pod"

[Krish]

Thanks Brady! I plan to get some stuff, just have to build up the nerve to get in the water as it is too cold for me this time of year I usually don't get in between November to May, but I can get a lot of stuff in knee high water (zoanthids included ) so we'll see. Probably next weekend

That really looks sweet.
Very ingenious hiding the pumps like that.

Thanks Martin! On my DIY thread I mentioned your tank being the inspiration to go back to the blue. I always wanted to go back since I got rid of the 75gal, but your tank made up my mind for me real quick

 

[mfinn]

I tried a black backed tank a few years ago and I wasn't happy with it ether.
But I know a few people who like the black. It is just a matter of personal taste.
This was the first time I tried the blue acrylic on the inside.

 

[Krish]

Yeah...I always used black until I gave the blue acrylic on the inside of my 75gal a try. I didn't realize I liked it until it was put on the inside as I'd tried it before on the outside and didn't like the color when I had my 90 gal


Here's 3 from today. One with the psycho damsel

Here's a better color shot





And my zoo's

Hey man any up dates for the tank???

 

[Krish]

LOL! Not yet...The tank is clody today from something strange that went on with my phosban reactor. The whole phosban media turned to a solid clump and it floated to the surface and when I tapped it and it broke loose, crap went all through the tank. I had to toss the media and add new media. As for additions, I hope to go out sometime this weekend if the tide is right!

cool man just put some boots that go up to your thighs and you will be able to grab all kinds of things .. man if i lived there i think i would be in the ocean every day looking for new stuff lol I know its illegal and all if they dont see you then they dont know

 

[Krish]

LOL!!! They don't really check as much these days, but you never know

 

[spongebob lover]

LOL!!! i'm telling you it was phosban reactor month :lol:

 

[Krish]

LOL! Well atleast yours and mine is working now

 

[Krish]

Just a small update...I may be tearing this one down. I've tried my best to make this sized tank work for me as well as it being an all-in-one, but I'm not really feeling it. My mind has been all over the place lately with the tank as well as with other things and so I haven't quite decided if I will have something custom built bigger with a sump again or just take a break from the hobby altogether for a while. If I decide the latter, I will still be here as usual, just without a tank.

Ya know... I had a funny feeling this tank wasn’t going to last with you.

C’mon Krish, go for the full blown wall to wall mega tank next... You know you want to. The water changes might be a little more expensive than what you’re used to now, but so what... You can live off of peanut butter sandwiches... Right? :lol:
So what’s the real truth?... Your wife’s been calling you a “fish nerd” again or what?
Just mess’n with ya Krish... Relax, maybe it’s just a phase.

 

[Krish]

LOL! Thanks Rob Definately the tank is too small (volume wise) and too easily influenced for me as well as limited. I know what I want, but just have to see have the drive in me right now to do it all over again. Too many other things going on right now, but I will decide. Believe it or not, but my wife doesn't mind an upgrade at all (we talked last night) and the money is there, but I just have to see if I'm willing right now. I even thought about basically having the same tank rebuilt, but with an overflow to drain to a small sump to give me more options, but can't quite decide. The brain needs a rest...

krish before you burn out.... just do something big enough to handle your dreams, and too big too change your mind

Im going 180 but I feel like it is still too small.
(when will they find a cure for this disease??)

 

[Scooterman]

With or without a tank Krish we wouldn't be the same without you, heck I'm over a year without a fish or coral LOL If I can do it so can you, a break may give you time to dream up what you really want. Whatever you do we will be here making sure you post up over 20k! Hey just a thought, Krish75, maybe you need to justify your Nick with another 75 Ok ok I'll let it go for now!

ROFL! 75 gal is a nice size! I'll let things ride for a while. Don't want to make a decision just yet without thinking things through clearly.

that's what i keep telling my husband :lol:.
I think that you should go for the 75 (you know you want it ) Emily told me that she wants it and wants tons of fishes in it .

 

[Krish]

LOL! We'll see what happens. If I rush it, I may regret it later so just taking my time to let my mind settle a bit
