Thanks noy


Since Monday sucks for a lot of people. I figure I may as well post some fts. Got the biocube ( my old main ) transferred last night. No one was found upside down this morning so I'm happy. As to where the Blue spot jawfish is digging in his new home is yet to be found.

Lights are currently ramping up. And they really mess with the iPhone camera.

Almost forgot - special thanks to concept for being so awsome and helping me along with this build.

Tank - sump built by concept
Everything I had to buy was also purchased there. Except for the heater

And Dave's awesome advice on the top trim. Yes there is a screen top on there when the pictures were taken.

Unhappy

Operation kitchen table was a big success tonight, now I have somewhere to sit and watch the tank .

Yes it's outdoor furniture, however it is incredibly hard to find kitchen tables that match charcoal cabinets



Couple more days of cleaning basement / garage / truck. Then it's onto operation water make / mix / quarantine station

Nice looking tank! Could you show a close up of that trim you used please? I have a very similar tank waiting to be set up that is trimless and I have been brainstorming ideas for a lid. I was thinking of siliconing a tiny triangle of glass into each corner. That trim you found looks real clean though.

Basically it's standard fish tank trim as seen in 1.

2. Sliced where it would normally lay on the top rim

3. The inside lip with the nice factory edge then lays on the top rim
And the cruddy cut edge goes inside as a lip.




I did 3 sides this way and left the front alone.



One thing I should mention I don't regret going with the radion pros over the radion g2s as the colours just explode in the morning .

Thanks again for the love folks

I think I'm gonna eventually run pellets on this tank because I'm pretty stoked about this thing .

I drew this when pellets first were released.





Product being released
