Yeah both evap.. and possible jumpers.

yeah I'll prob replace the back plastic piece cause the plastic will be right under the light... but we'll see how it looks... but gotta start somewhere :)

Probably should have just went to a glass shop from the get go... but whatever ahah

And I'm thinking I might just try some hockey pucks under the stand :)... but i guess that wont fix the floor being off level problem... we'll see??

Or you could just rip the entire carpet out, ect. The rip out the subfloor and completely redo it so its level.:razz: Its easier than it sounds.:biggrin:

i bought a sheet of pink foam today for under my 45 still have half left if you want it. $5 PM me if interested and i will let you know.

EDIT: Well just less than half left its about 36" x 21"

Thanks... I'm gonna try one thing tomorrow but then I'll let you know.

What part of town? NE, SE, NW, SW?

im in bowness. its actually closer to 46x21

So the old Sedra seems to be causing me some heat problems....? 86-87ish at night. So I think I'm gonna have try giving the old Rio a try??

Thanks for the offer but I think I found something that should work... but maybe I'll swing by some other time to check out the competition in person

Looks like the Rio Sorted out my heat issues 79-80ish. I should have went with it to begin with... especially b/c I knew the Sedra ran hot but I wanted to try it b/c it does have a little more flow.

FTS November 15

Sump Shot with Fuge Light and Plumbing

It's my parents Guest House... the front half is on two telephone poles because we dragged it across the field from our old house when we moved.... so the entire front half (we added a new section on to the back) is off level b/c the ground must have been a little off level ahah. I think we might have lifted up all the sides and leveled it at some point but it must have sunk in a bit so all the pictures on the walls also slowly go tilted given enough time ahah.

So it would be do able to level it... but I don't think ripping up the carpet/subfloor would be the route you'd wanna take... but I'm not really interested in fixing it ahah.

Contest Reminder:

**Updated FTS and Budget Required today (Nov 15/08) to remain in the contest**

Already did??

Every other tank I've ran t5s on it was always a even split of Aqua Blue Plus and Actinic but for whatever reason (maybe reflector location??) this tank was super blue with one of each.

The picture makes it look a little more blue than it actually is but it's pretty close to the actual color:

For my Nov 15th FTS I had to adjust the white balance to get this:

But today I decided to swap out the Actinic for another Aqua Blue Plus I had around, so now the picture is pretty representative of the actual lighting... which I think is better. I guess there is some other bulb out now that is a little more blue than the Aqua Blue Plus?? so I might give it a try down the road??

KZ Coral Light New Generation

Thanks... I'll watch out for them

So I'm hoping to get some live stock... soon!

Interesting, going to let us in that little head of yours and tell us your plans? Got a theme in mind?

I've had a suggestion I like but we'll see?? I figure I gotta save some surprises until the end.. keep people guessing ahah

Looks like someone learned how to do a watermark in photobucket.... ahah

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...IMG_1275-1.jpg

For those who are slower in the crowd... it was me :D I learned how to do one ahah

If you've seen my other post you might notice a theme developing...

Really...?? No one is gonna guess the theme?

I can't wait for my cycle to be over so I can get this baby rolling

is the theme... trio? or..lemonade?


lol, you never said how close the guess has to be

I guess cubic or box orientated. Maybe a longhorn cowfish? Or maybe geometric shapes? Prism favia?

Do I win a prize?

Is it a second place theme?

ahah you're all soooo funny.

I love box fish but unfortunately every time I've had one in the past I come home to it stuck to the gutter guard... the first few days I peal him off he's ok... but by the third or fourth day he's usually gone

Guess I'll just have to get the tank cycled so I can show you all my wonderful theme

i thouhgt that was your theme and this was a 3rd place theme:mrgreen:

ahaha To be honest when the contest first started I thought about calling my tank "The Winning Tank" ahah but I thought it might rub people the wrong way, but I guess I could go with "Last Place"

Hey my cycle doesn't seem to be done yet so can I see how the week goes before getting that plate coral?? I still want it... I just don't want to kill it. If you want I can prepay... do you have paypal??

makes no difference to me. i dont mind hanging onto it at all. have been trying inactivly to sell for a while so i see no need to hurry now.

I know what what your saying it seems that some people on this site lose their sense of humor when they log on. ( providing they had one to begin with):wink:

K thanks... just don't sell it to someone else on me :)

No worries. :biggrin:

Yeah I was just worried that people might think I was being serious depending on what kinda day you catch them on.

So I'm assuming cheato is like LR and LS... meaning free?

Because I got some for free today :)

I would imagine so...

i neve deducted anything for mine. never paid for mine either.

Deal... Free it is

Still cycling... and driving me crazy. My parents have seen some of my past tanks but they seen this one for the first time last night "oh you decided to give up on this one?? It's not looking so great doesn't seem like anything is really going on?" ahah Prob because nothing is... YET

So I think I might pick up my first piece of live stock this weekend :)

I was going to assume my tank is cycled but I guess I'll have the water tested to confirm
