Yup, I'm going to post my build thread all at once for the masses. I think of the tootsie-roll slogan, how many licks to the center... but how many mods can I do to my nanocube to make it awesome! :lol:

If I had a herbie though, it would probably get stuck in the gate valve and slow the drain down making the water level in the display rise. The herbies are just much more sensitive to things getting into the plumbing because of the restriction. I love them though and wish I had the second hole for an emergency drain!

Durrrrr, for some reason all this morning I was thinking there was a valve on the drain; but this is not the case... Slurpees when its -5C out makes the brain slow.

How is the noise with the plumbing done now ?

Hey I had a slurpee today already too! Weird.

Its not quite as cold here though. More like 8 I think.

No valve :)

I don't know about the noise yet because I dont have enough water. I need to make some more saltwater to fill the sump. Which means I have to go across the street and get some RO water. And I don't want to go back out right now! LOL.

I don't have a RO/DI unit anymore so I am using store bought RO water. Probably not the best water but its been working fine. I do test the TDS and its usually around 4.

I have a question for clam experts too. I have a Squamosa clam (I think) that I left in the sand for a day while I was aquascaping and it attached its foot to the bottom glass. I thought most clams were not suppose to be in the sand? My others are on rocks. It looks really good and I have tried but can't get it off the glass. Will it be fine like this?

It really had to burrow down quite a bit to get to the glass, I am surprised at how quickly it attached. The mantle on either side is touching the sand because of how deep it went.

LOL...sorry I am not trying to be secretive! I actually missed that!

Its a classic mid century modern design and actually quite common. The chair is designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and is known as the "Barcelona Chair" It was unveiled in 1929 at the Ibero-American Exposition, which was hosted by Barcelona, Spain.

You can either find knock offs for around $600-800 per chair or originals (not made in 1929 but made by Knoll Studio these days) for $6000-$10,000 per chair. The difference is noticeable :wink:

I am a huge Mid Century Modern fan...so I could go on all day! I try to collect as many pieces as possible. Gets more expensive than aquariums if you can believe it!

Not the best pic but my favorite piece is in the far right corner of the room in this picture...

Just realized...I have no idea where the Barcelona Ottomans are in any of these pics! LOL. The chairs look funny without them...

Cool, Is this a sunroom? Question how do you find all the extra sunlight on the tank?
In the summer I get this algae on one side of my tank, its not the side closest to the window but the opposite side. Winter it goes away! Hard as heck to get off then magically poof it's gone. Back to your kitty and lizard love is blind. Love your tank too!

Yeah its a Loft style Condo building designed by a European Designer to be artist live/work spaces. They have since opened it up to anyone but originally meant for artists only from what I have heard. The main entrance and hallways (outside my place) are HUGE and open and were set up to be an art gallery to host events. The most common question is "when are the floors going to be finished?" ;)

This is what the building looks like...

No sunroom. Its just a living space/main room of my condo. The place is very small actually.

I never get algae in my tanks...Its seems like I should for various reasons but just don't. I think it has a lot to do with all the Limewater I top off with.
