ha ha you think? It'll be turned around before water I promise..

oops DP

Brett I don't believe her anyways She still has her place of residents in Calgary still. and not New Jersey USA ....................:biggrin:

I had noticed that but I just thought she was trying to look cool. Didn't wanna out her.

Now that she's all live aquaria this...marco rocks that...whatever :smile:

*ahem*
that's what she said.

Ok that was so messed up. My mind had briefly molested the notion but I held my tongue.

that's why when I come back to town we must go for beverages.

So boss decided AFTER the plumbing was done he wanted the back painted...pictures of the debachery later tonight once I pull them off his camera....we went through 3 newspapers

Bwahahhahahaa.... I was tempted as well. :lol:

alright...pictures:

Lol that's pretty involved which is why i just brush my paint on! And Ryan grow up. You're just trying to fit in. You're ALREADY in clubPerv just relax.

normally I paint it before plumbing...and outside..which is what I reccomended...but nooooooo what does the little Canadian know about it....ha ha...ah well, it was fun and the tank is really starting to come together. Ordering rocks and sand tomorrow!

hey Muck...can you or another Mod move this from the nano section?!

Ouch... burn. I WAS all a-typing in "PHO, foo' !" in reference to your bevies comment but now I'm all sad and stuff. Oh this thread is gettin' moved alrighty .....

how is this in Brett's forum....wth!

Oops oops ooops. Sorry! I got this one. Try it now.

suggest a link? ha ha .... I think it's a miss on that attempt too Tony ha ha

Technically you just asked for it to be moved out of the nano section ... no need to thank me. :p

:neutral::neutral::neutral::neutral::neutral:

and I thought it was just my clients and other tattooer's who were smart a**es

All better now ?? :p

much...thanks good sir

im sure with a shop full of artists you guys/gals could make that stand look pretty sick. most tattoo artists are equally amazing with an airbrush gun.

just a though...:mrgreen:

My forum? What'd I miss?

Tony there's a dress-code there you should know better. :surprise:

Tank looks like it was meant to sit in that spot. Nice work! :)

for what it's worth Brett....Marco ships to Canada.....just sayin

Actually I recall knowing that at one point now lol. When I was in the market for rock his customer service was non-existent and he was sorta mia if i remember right. I thought BRS was a much safer choice.

Gosh that's a long thread name :)

I'm a little disappointed that the back of the tank didn't get all "inked" up Ed Hardy like :( That would have been cool.. Although it would probably get annoyingly distracting after a short while :lol: now, that stand on the other hand, that's a blank canvas right there!!! :-D

:pop2:

change your thread name - I need to take that name. You started mid September and your this far. I have been buying stuff since June, just built my stand last week and am in the process of ordering a tank that will take a month probably.

I DESERVE THE SLOWEST HALF-ARSED TITLE!!!!!!


I too vote a re-do of the back of the tank - we expect more from artists :)


Just kidding :) - looking good!

ha ha oh god. Funny story, Ernie (boss) knows Ed...they go way back. Started the Queen Mary tattoo expo in 1982 with Ed Nolte. But truth be told, alot of tattooers aren't big fans of Ed...not even Ernie. He sold things that didn't belong to him (flash images) and to be totally honest, he doens't even usually tattoo traditional work. He was all about fine line, or no out line tattooing...exact OPPOSITE of what traditional tattooing is all about. But that's another story ha ha

We're keeping the stand that color...goes with the floors nice and we want the main focus of the tank to be the corals and the fish....and we're redoing the walls of the shop so it'll be full of traditional, hand painted flash. Pretty much when I'm not working on the tank or tattooing I'm painting 11x15s or 15x20s full of tattoo flash. If I get some time today I'll post some in the lounge.

Water today!

Psssh! "Slow" builds. Tee hee! Snicker! I'm not worried about losing my title on this at all.

While we're on the topic, I agree that I don't see anything "half arsed" about this build so far. Looks pretty fine to me!

found one tiny drip...less than a drip every 5 seconds...seriously. I counted. On the bulkhead from the return line down to the pump....buuuuut it drips right back into the sump. going to silicone it just to be safe and then fill this mo fo up. Rock gets here early next week

TWSS

TWSS

TWSS

That's REALLLYYY what she said...

Okay back to school, your perverted thread keeps distracting me.

... or maybe it's my perverted mind...:neutral:.

I was all "wtf is TWSS"....then I got the end of your post...sssssh

Haha, ya I'm shutting up now but the tank looks wicked where it is! Can't wait to see it full.

might've gone a little overboard on the silicone...every single bulkhead....front and back...no leaks now!

Ernie now wants a nano in our bedroom...so, going to use the vortech on that when the time comes. A customer of mine just gave me 3 Koralia 3s for free (well, tattoo trade) for the 75....hi lotsa flow, whats up.

ha ha tank has 15 gallons water. We're going to go with bottled RO/DI water and add Instant Ocean Salt for the first bit..mainly because bottled pre mixed is 8 dollars for 4 gallons...so we'll hit the store tomorrow and buy another 60 or so gallons and wait for the rock/sand to get here before we add anymore...wooooopah!

its 30 bucks for 4.4 gallons here for pre mixed but its ocean collected...if that makes a difference

ha ha! woooooow. I figure we'll go throught the 160 gallon bucket of salt I just bought and then once that's done used pre-mixed for water changes....I am lazy.
