Big Sump! You are going to have a miniture Florida Everglades there with 150 mangroves.
Looks good. When can we expect the FTS?

Thanks, I cant wait tell my mangroves become bigger trees and i can host some chameleons . The FTS will come later when i am less lazy.

Delphinus 05-14-2010 07:44 PM

Chameleons up top, banggais down below. Awesome.

Great little setup. So with the sump, been meaning to ask .. did you end up finding where UFA is now and getting a new one, or were you able to stem the leak somehow?

Devonious 05-14-2010 08:10 PM

I fixed the leak thanks to Frag epoxy it was so thick it and it cured so fast, one side is protruding a bit so i am looking for a new tub maybe a bit bigger. I might get my employer to order me a rubbermaid commerical garbage container, I have no idea what price they sell for. Lol i probably will never get chameleons if they fell into my tank they probably would die.

Delphinus 05-14-2010 08:22 PM

Yeah sorry I realize it wasn't a serious idea, but it still seemed like an awesome setup if at least in a "dream setup" kind of way, if not in a "reality" kind of way. You wouldn't want chameleon poop in the water either I would suspect. :lol:

Devonious 05-19-2010 02:51 AM

Yeah haha i think i am just going to keep the blue bucket there but just lower the water level.

Devonious 07-07-2010 05:31 AM

So i finally took a picture of the new mangroves.
