well Mindy.....I hadnt actually disclosed the size yet......but since the tank is from what I hear assembled and just needs to be cleaned up a bit, I will go ahead and tell you-all......the tank is 84"l x 24"t x 30"w, making it 260g..... dual corner herbie external overflows, low iron front, euro-braced, polished and beveled edges, black silicone.......Im super stoked......have I mentioned I have the best Girly evah??

:eek: Oh look at you go! Congrats! You're going to need some big ass frags to fill that thing up!

Ooh, ooh, I likey those dims!

Sounds like it's going to be a very nice tank, love the front to back dimensions.

If you EVER need any help moving the tank, please don't hesitate to call........Brett.

Hey!

Although... Doug can call me (anytime).

Just think how much moar broke you're gonna be filling THAT beast! You have the best (but at the same time worst) job for temptation :biggrin:

Yeah, I can't imagine me working in an LFS. I'd be bringing something home with me every day. I'd have either five tanks or one honkin' big sucker. Wouldn't have any money left over for beer and pizza! You must have an iron will Doug.

Cool looking piece of Mycedium you have there Doug. :biggrin:

No worries he can call Brett when he moves it in Calgary and we'll call you if he ever brings it to Edmonton, so thanks for the offer Robb :mrgreen:

:lol: iron will my a$$ The main reason he works there is so he can afford to bring stuff home every (or almost every) weekend :razz:

Ha ha. Don't sell yourself short Laurie. You're much much more than stuff! :lol:

:pound: Although admittedly some of the stuff he brings home is for me :mrgreen:

Like the bet he lost this past weekend when he was certain the stamps would win against the eskies but they lost 35-7 :razz: and now he gets to bring me a red head jawfish this weekend :mrgreen:

Yeah, that game was a surprise. I lost ten on the Stamps myself. All the games this week were upsets.

Thanks gentlemen......I wanted to go wider because we all know that Girlys prefer width over length.....er, um......neve rmind:redface:.........seriously though, I would have liked to go 36" wide but, I would run into issues getting the stand through most doorways (I rent)

careful what you say mang.......I will need some help when the time comes to pick up the tank.......
I know......My arse and bank account are feeling it already:mrgreen:

Thanks Greg.....that piece came from a cherry picked WS shipment.......I think its cherry sundae-licious:biggrin:

you have no idea man......recently I had to fight off the strong urge to take home a pair of bluethroat triggers......they were the perfect size and doing really well......... I talk myself out of more then I talk myself into:wink:



hey......your not supposed to tell them that!.......that infraction will require some discipline involving "your a$$":twised:

I dont want to talk about the stamps game!..........that doesnt put me in a happy place:mrgreen:.........not because I lost the bet and have to take Laurie a cute little redhead:twised:........but because of what I didnt win:wink:

Damn! This chiseled Adonis like physique can be real cross to bare some days!

In all seriousness I'm happy to help move tanks in or out in Edmonton.

*said in a real deep masculine type voice*....ya.....I know what you mean Robb.......kinda like when you own a pick-up truck huh?


If Laurie gets her way, we just may take you up on the offer and we will get to see that chiseled physique in action:mrgreen:

I don't know about that, I wasn't upset by the game at all :mrgreen:

not too much to update on this tank these days.....Ive been trying to adhere to a "no new live stock" rule for the tank.....the decision has been made with regards to who is going to move (Laurie or I)......looks like Im moving to Edmonton to be with my Girly......so no sense in adding any more live stock to this tank.......the plan is for me to attempt to get the big tank going in Edmonton ASAP and then slowly move some of my reef up there each time I visit.....there is no way I want to move the entire contents of my two tanks at once, after what happened last time I moved......the process has already started.....Ive moved 4 acan colonies, my open brain, green favia, duncans, florida rics and my cherry sundae chalice into Lauries reef......this has me a little nervous.....Laurie has a couple fish that may or may not sample things.....she has a foxface, so that rules out my zoas....she says it doesnt eat them, but Im not willing to risk it.....so my zoas will have to go in her 80g ......I have started adding to my zoa collection In Lauries tank....Ive recently scored some purple puddles, nuclear greens, candy apples, jeckles and one that I dont know the name of......I will have to try and get some pics next time Im in E-town (unless Laurie takes some pics with her fancy dancy new camera)......she also has a flame angel that nips at her sps, so my sps will most like go to Red Coral E-town (thanks for the offer Steve)...... so, my tank is looking a little bare.....relatively speaking I guess.....so there will be a bit less shiny stuff for me to take pics of......less reef porn for the masses....

I know I said I was trying to adhere to my livestock rule but:redface:.......this was really a decision that I waffled back and forth on for a while.....I broke two rules with this addition.......I also had a very very very strict NO NEM rule for this tank.......so I guess Im officially on the Maxi-mini nem bandwagon....(even tho nems is evil).....thats right folks, the 25g tank is now a "maxi pad":mrgreen:......it took about two minutes for the nem to take hold of the rock and another five minutes for three of my sexy shrimp to find it and start hosting in it....

sorry to hear that :cry:

I'm NOT! :mrgreen:

believe me brochacho, this was not an easy decision...... Im a born and grazed Calgarian(so its ingrained in me to dislike Edmonton(sorry Etowners, but its true)) and all my family is here.....not to mention one job that pays well and another job that I love and helps to feed my reef addiction......I just love her too much not to be with her anymore.....

Great pictures! And wow, big move. Good luck with all the tank transfers. Nice to be able to do it incrementally like that, that should help a bit.

thanks Tony......ya, its much less daunting a task in my mind being able to do things gradually.....The thought of just selling most of my stuff occurred, but I managed to accumulate some pretty nice corals over the last year and a bit and Im not sure it all is replaceable......not cheaply, anyway:wink:......the plan is for my current tanks occupants to be in Edmonton berfor I acually move myself up there.......I just realized that if things go as planned there may be a time that I dont have a tank running:shocked!::faint:.....oh man.....what have gotten myself into?????.....I dont know if I can be without a tank:noidea::mrgreen:

I am :wink::wink:. All the nice stuff at the stores is going straight to your house now.

Doug if you need a place to store stuff, eg zoos I can hold it for you also for a bit, I got the frag tank isolated from the main tank so no chance of getting eaten.

:love:

You could always set up your Skimz iBOX Nano :wink:

Glad to see you're upgrading to Edmonton rather than dragging poor Laurie to the godawful place called Calgary. :D

Nice update Doug best of luck with the move that's huge man =) One city's loss is another (less worthy) city's gain!

I have done the edmonchuck-cowtown long distance relationship commute thingy so I know what you mean. Anyway, sorry to hear.. :lol:

I always knew I liked you Mindy :mrgreen:

:kiss: Awww Thats so nice. Congrats on your move. Have to follow your heart. I did and 43 yrs. later, it was still the right move. :mrgreen:

Congratulations on the move, I hope it all goes smoothly. If you need a hand let me know.
