How to Dismantle an Atomic Tank....Step by Step Instructions Towards Insanity.

[Rbacchiega]

Ugh. Pictures will be posted after everything clears up...

1. Realise that you've purchased more corals/frags than your current rockwork is designed for.
2. Remove all coral frags etc and place in ghetto fabulous frag tank
3. Remove all rock...my lord that's alot of rock..who on earth decided to cram 120lbs of rock into a 90 gallon tank!?
4. Come to the conclusion that, realistically, this was a stupid idea, but hey, a reefer has to do what a reefer has to do.
5. Wow, there are some nice pieces of rock
6. Move powerheads around to accomidate for new rockwork idea and future vortech mp40
7. Add rock back to tank, keeping in mind this will be mainly SPS in the near future.
8. Realize that freshly tattooed knuckles + saltwater = OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW
9. Smoke, go on Canreef
10. Figure out where current LPS are going to reside...
11. Move rock
12. Add in Existing SPS frags
13. Remount frags
14. Add in newly acquired Wicked Frags...
15. Smoke and oggle tank
16. wait.....


:D

[Rbacchiega]

hahaha no.

It looks good now, but after I pick up what I intend to from Snappy...no more corals for a while. I need to let things grow in. there's just these tiny fingers and pieces of coral everywhere LOL

But the frag tank is looking bare...herm.....

[Delphinus]

Tattooed knuckles? Are you running out of room or something? Sounds like your skin may need a reaquascape as well to accomodate future tattoo frags??

[Rbacchiega]

I've got "BONAFIDE" written accross my fingers...it makes me possibly the most bad-ass reefer you know Tony LOL

[Skimmerking]

Right hand "BONA"

i think you said you have a swiming pool converted into a tank in your Quonset so you might also be the most bad-ass farmer around also,, although im shure where still waiting for pictures in that thread still

I know I know

there's a whole bunch of digup stuff going on in and around the quanset. When that clears, pictures will commence

[FlamesFan]

I have 130lbs in a 90 gallon and have only ripped it apart once. I've had a few frags fall behind stuff which have been left in the abyss.

What schools offer a BSc. in history? I've never heard of this.

By the way, great job on refurbishing your tank - your SPS will thank you for removing a whack of that LR.

[Rbacchiega]

bah typed that wrong. Bachelor of Arts, History Major minoring in forensic anthropology...

Didn't remove any rock, just rearranged

[Canadian]

That looks like some good porous LR then - I wouldn't have guessed that was 120 pounds.

[Rbacchiega]

Some of the pieces on the bottom are pretty crummy...but everything else is great, lots of nooks and crevaces etc to wedge corals into. I got pretty lucky

[blaster]

Are you a male or female,just curious and not tryin to be insulting

Rude to ask even if "your not trying to be insulting". No need to answer that Rbacchiega, not all of us are this blind.

[blaster]

blind the avatar looks rockabillish.Anyways now i know thx

[Rbacchiega]

I'm a girl.

But I rock the pomp. It's kind of my signature thing. I have my own style, but some might consider it rockabilly

[blaster]

I like it,kinda gene vincient like.Rock on girl
