After a little late night shopping I scored some magician paly's. I was dumb and only bought a frag of them but I am thinking of going back for the colony on Monday. Here are some pictures from lastnight after about 30min in the tank.

After a trip to Home Depot lastnight I tried the Oatey Fix-it stick. I am not too happy with the product. I does the job for some of the basic stuff but I tired to mount some pieces horizontal and it wouldnt stick to the plugs too well. I think they are too smooth where as the D-D epoxy worked really well. I guess I could have used superglue as well but I didnt have any.
It also hardens really fast (1 or 2 minutes after mixing) so that kinda surprised me. The D-D stuff takes a little longer to dry so you can mix a bunch then break it off as you need it. The downside it stays soft so you have to make sure you have stuff really planted in there. For the $8/tube it costed me it was a good product but I think I will stick with the D-D for the extra $4. Oh I used 2/3s of a tub and my skimmer didnt go too crazy. It did get a little more wet but it wasnt too bad. |
Ryan, your pictures are amazing! what an outstanding tank! congrats on all the hard work and the great looking tank!

I am a little behind, been a little busy around here the past few days. A few days ago I switched some LR around and ditched the island. I moved it into the back to continue the wall. I think I want to continue brining rock forward on the right side to make a cove there. Keep the rock low with maybe a little point near the front.

Thanks alot. I got rid of half my stock when I did the move because they didnt make the cut. I gotta thank Greg (Coral Master) for alot of this stuff too. Alot of it came from him. |
Well after a 300km road trip that ended us in Lethbridge (long story) I found some new stuff locally for the tank. Crappy iPhone4 pictures for now, sorry guys.
First up is a Hot Pink Mille that Mike and I went in on. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/528ce709.jpg Next up is a sweet blue Porcelain crab I found at TFI. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/8b5d0bde.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/6d404bea.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...h_6a895182.jpg |
After finally making it to Medicine hat I found a few more additions to the tank.
Some cool red with green flake Blastomuss wellsi. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0095.jpg Also picked up 2 new 3/4" flare nozzles for my returns. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...ld/photo-7.jpg Today when I went out to get some food for the reptiles I pcked up another pail of Instant Ocean and scored a pretty good deal on some Hermits. I will probably regret this adding these guys but everything is secured down so I hope they dont knock too much around. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...IMG_0103-1.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...IMG_0104-1.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...IMG_0105-1.jpg |
