Ric I love the tank is that custom made

[sumpfinfishe]

Thanks, its a standard aqueon 48x12.5x13

and sadly yes brad im still running old school tubes,
tho i did get some nice t5's this time around:razz:

[Delphinus]

Hey Rich, nice to hear from you. See you again in another year or two when you next post "who's still here?" :p

[sumpfinfishe]

Wow i didn't see anything on my calender but it
must be trash on rich day today:biggrin:

[Delphinus]

So whatcha got under those tealights? (BTW I've never seen 20k tealights before, cool! I don't think you can get those at the IKEA over here.)

[sumpfinfishe]

Hi Tony, the tea lights are actually two double banks of
coralife t5's an running two actinics and two 10k.
I'm pretty sure they will work for what i have planned
for this setup, which wont be anything too crazy
just some lps an such. So far i have two tomatoe clowns,
a yellow tang an watchmen gobie. As for corals, as single
crown of hammer, a closed and an open brain an a few
feather dusters. No skimmer as of yet an this one is sumpless
so just a hob filter an a few koralia 425s for flow.
I guess i will need to edit my username to
sumplessfishe now:mrgreen:

[Samw]

Ok how does one upload a pic again :mrgreen:

Welcome back Rich. We use clouds these days. Just kidding for now.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Wow, back from the dead or what?

Nice 33g long Rich. Good to see an old-timer come back.

Anthony

[sumpfinfishe]

Hi guys, nice to be back:biggrin:

Sam you still have the same tank running?

Anthony how many tanks do you have up now?

[Chin_Lee]

Heya Rich
Good to see you back. You still living down the safeway?
I'm still in the same place. I've downsized to 120g - one tank only.
Unlike anthony........ who downsized but has 8 tanks.

[Jason McK]

Hey Rich, Good to see you have some water in a box again. I'm sure you will be back getting gobbies to breed in no time

J

[sumpfinfishe]

bwhahahaha some how i just knew anthony would have more than one:lol:

no chin i'm out in langley now, sold the old pad last summer and got me
a new pad on the top floor so now i can damage four floors with a flood-not!
will have to come check out your tank some time?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

bwhahahaha some how i just knew anthony would have more than one:lol:



That's only 7 tanks (downsizing as in volume only).

I sold my 210g with 75g sump, but since then have added a 3g fw shrimp, 4g sw Volcano shrimp, 8g Fluval Flora red frogfish, 34g Red Sea Max, and 30g fw planted (for my wife). My two main tanks are a 2' cube anemone/clownfish and a 165g full reef.

[sumpfinfishe]

Hi J hows your tank doing?

[marie]

I swear I banned you. Let me go check. While I'm doing that, why don't you go get a tank? This is a forum for people with tanks. Containing water...

[Chin_Lee]

yeah funny i took about a year and half hiatus. now i'm back into the groove. I guess we all go through these episodes of depression and interest.

[TimT]

Hey Rich,

Glad to see your back. I love the idea of floating tealights in a tank. Kinda romantic when all the lights are out.

Cheers,
Tim

[christyf5]

Welcome back Rich! Nice to see Tabby hasn't lost her interest either :wink:

[lastlight]

This is a forum for people with tanks. Containing water...

[sumpfinfishe]

not the temp thats stopping me, I am still doing renno's and such, and with working and all the other stuff that goes along with it there is no time. and I haven't quite figured out what I want to set up.. no area of this house screams "insert tank here" :mrgreen:
