welcome back Anthony......tanks looking killer mang!

Anthony! Wicked set up man. All you need is a foosball table beside it and I'll be in Calgary a lot more :)

Great pic.'s everything looks like it's doing really well now :biggrin:

Looks sweet man! You still gotz the touch :-D

Looks terrific! Love the rockwork, I wish I had had the patience to do that :biggrin:

Honestly, I don't think there is much to see right now man. But once the basement isn't a giant safety hazard, come on down!


Yeah.....Unfortnately, I think I lost most of the build pics when the computer died on me and I lost pretty much all my pics except what was on one of my old memory cards. I do believe that there are some pics of my plumbing out there somewhere though on a friends camera that I am trying to get for this thread. But I am glad you can imagine it :wink: Thanks for the comments too! I think I may need to get some bulk supplies from you soon once I am out and these things start growing.


I have always been a sucker for halides.... but I think that will be a thing of the past after today! Thanks, I am glad to be back. Although my tank was "running," I never felt back, just depressed since it looked so brutal. Your build is looking intense! Can you come and from my basement for me after your done? My wife keeps asking me to do it but I am the worst at handywork.


Thanks Doug. Maybe once my sticks grow out, we can do some trades!

I wish I could have scored some of that crziness you had going there with your limited edition Dez colony releases! You can see how much 1 of those massive bad boys would have done in my open concept tank....as for the foosball table, I think that can be arranged:wink:

Thank you! Not at the point where I am satisfied yet, but then again, I think most of us never are :twised:

No way Kien. I think I need to come take some lessons from you! Can't wait til end of summer! We can uh.. meet again....somehow that just does not sound right.

Actually, I think my rockwork is pretty embarrassing, if you look closely, you can see some of the zipties that I haven't covered up yet until I know I like it that way for sure. And the back of the rockwork is not done yet either :( But I will still take the complement to motivate me!!! Thanks!

Awesome. That's all I can really say.

Ok, I don't know about other people, but I think marriage is the best thing that can happen to a reefer. Before I was married, my girl got me a Vertex skimmer for a gift. Now that we are married, she got me another Vertex... a Vertex I**u***a...
OK, pics say it better

Oh and also a special thanks to a friend who helped make it happen. Thanks buddy. Also Thanks to Dave at Concept for his kindness in shipping it over as well.

So, ummm, bad news man.
