Nice Grizz Looking Good!! Like the Dusters!:mrgreen:

So does my Regal & Sailfin Tang, I think between the tow of them they have killed of 3 of 4 of the newest ones, I can't find them anywhere :sad:

Sorry to hear that man, If it's not one thing going wrong its another!

No kidding, I hope that they might have floated under the rock & I will find them when I move into the 300 gal.

Thought I would bump my build thread with some pics. 1st & 2nd pics are new colonies I got from Golds this week.

All iPhone pics.

Quite the collection you have going there. I get to go shopping next week. Heading down for the Sharks game and staying a couple extra days. Gonna be in the city next week for anything ? could bring a hoodie if you need one ???

dude!*said in a Yoda type voice*" turning into quite the zoamonger you are ":mrgreen:

DAMN I will have to check my schedule, when are you down? Would be cool to meet for a bevi. Can always use hoodies just cant afford any ATM :lol:.

YES YES I AM!! Still want some of the ones you had hidden in the middle back of your tank dude!!:biggrin:

Where's the pics of your new clams???

Well made I few changes as a bit of an experiment & so far everything is working as planned. I tapped into both my OF lines but in a tee & a valve. One side is feeding my chiller & the other side is feeding my skimmer, carbon reactor & pellet reactor ( discharge is feed right into the skimmer )

Snap! The sps bug is going to bite you man :lol: I love that last clam

How are the clame liking your LEDs?

:sad: This is like the one I wanted but Doug wouldn't let me get it :sad: Can you PM me the price

They seem to really love them so far, There wide open within minutes of the first blues coming on.

I should of added I was broke at the time I saw it, which was why Doug was saying to wait to get one.

Have to say though I have some money now, and I blame you Grizz for this

Your welcome :twised:

Here's the one that I didn't take a pic of until today because it wasn't open as much as I wanted.

suffering from some serious clamenvy here Greg:lol:

Hey Greg, that input line looks a bit strained. I hope you're going to put an elbow on it sometime soon :smile: I lost a chiller fitting set last summer for the same reason

Sorry Dougster, I just could not resist the temptation any more, 2 of the clams I have had in the tank for about 6 months & are doing great so I said what the hell lets get another.........and another........and another........and another :twised:

Which line? Feeding the skimmer? If so that has been changed since I change to my Deltec 702 skimmer.

:doh: I missed the skimmer upgrade. I was remarking on this pic. I'll just go back to reading now :rapture:

I'm not sure how I've missed this amazing tank until now.

I'm in the process of deciding exactly what I want for my birthday tank (Happy 40th to me, in February), and I thought I had decided on 60x24x18. I've now decided that I need to go at least 72x24x18 . . . but I really want the extra two feet on top of that!

I guess I should update this thread before the tank goes away and is replaced with the new 300 gal. I really like the 8' length and so so my tangs :biggrin:

Wow just went through your entire build journal. Looks great, and I love how shallow it is.

Is that a painting on the wall of the ship? Looks great.

Thanks but unfortunately this tank has kind of gone down hill which gives me the kick in the a$$ to get going on the 8' - 300 gal build.

Yes that a ship mural on the wall, actually there are 2 ships battling & a couple islands with a stranded pirate on one. There is some areas of it that are painted with blue light paint, so when we turn on the blue light it glows.

nice clam collection!

Thank March, it was a good collection while they lasted. Only clam I have left is in my 60 gal seahorse / zoa tank.

how about an updated FTS? ;)
