My 300----- the Rebuild

[CarlaW]

Nice!! I can tell you don't live in the Bahamas with all that lighting. Our last electricity bill was $800 and my tank isn't even running right now




Sounds like I need to send Charlie some sea urchins

I don't want sea urchins, I like the coralline. I have taken 4" sheets off of the back, and one of them was about 1/8" thick. That about blew me away.
My average bill is about 200 a month.

200...Ha!! Not in the Bahamas. $200 a month if you just want to run a desk lamp :lol:

 

[CarlaW]

you must sell urchins on the side to help pay for the electricity:lol::lol::lol:

It has been a while, and I know digging up old threads is not exactly the way to win friends and influence people, but sometimes life is tough :bounce:

It has 3 years, almost to the day since I have updated this thread, and while some things in life have changed............................. :The Song Remains the Same". I believe Led Zepplin might have said that.

I will just add a few pics to this update, since you can't see the old pics, been thru too many computers....................lol, and photo sites:suspicious:

Anyways, these pics are from the beginning of this month, no more halides, with the help of Mike and Eric from OBD, I put the LEDs on last December, around Christmas. They are still not at full power, maybe they will never get there, I don't know.

Sorry for the long absence, to paraphrase another song, "what a long strange trip its been" . Hope you enjoy the pics.

And for those who want to keep track of what has actually gone on in the past 3 years:

You never know what might fall out of an old thread if you shake it hard enough.

HI Charlie not sure you'd remember me but felt compelled to post. I hope life has been treating you well.

You have a beautiful tank!. Looks like you've bounced back better than ever. I hope to follow in your footsteps as I've been building a 300 for some time now and am close to being finished.
