The End (Or the end of the beginning)

So this is the end of this tank, it's final duties as a quarantine tank are over and all occupants (apart from a number of bristle worms) have been moved on to the new 75 gallon.

In the longer...

Time for a new journal!

I've got water in the 75! :biggrin:

Ok, so it's only fresh water - I'm still trying to cure my diy rocks, but I think this is the point where it should have a journal of it's own...

Yup, unfortunately they didn't have any 10mm glass on hand, so I went with two layers of 1/4" (6mm) which are clamped together with lots of silicone spread in a thin layer (my visa will never be the...

I take it you mean deflection of the tank wall that it's stick to due to the weight of the water in the tank? I see your point - when I get water in it! Clearly though this wasn't the issue this...

Now the slowest 75 build ever..

I'm just so mad right now - last night I was well beyond that. I'd just finished getting the tank ready for water, painted the back, put in the bulkheads, all the plumbing. Looking pretty tidy if I...

So the build is in motion again. At last!

Progress has been painfully slow for a good while, the cure/kure/crap leaching out/whatever you decide to call it, for my diy rock seems to just be going...

Thanks, I think that may be a bit big - I was planning on the herbie, as you say it seems like a sensible way to go. I was going to use 1" bulkheads into 1.25" drains, because I don't think I'll have...

Oh no, don't get me wrong - I think it's definitely the way to go, I'd much rather not have an overflow protruding into the tank. After all, all that rock I made is going to take up a fair bit of...

Ooh.. Out of curiosity what size is it? Would be really handy if I could borrow it when the time comes to drill holes in my overflow. I've been talked (by Mike) into cutting a slot in the back and...

If that darned rock would cure I would be making some progress. I'm going to start the overflow and drilling the tank as soon as I've done finishing the garage - taped the drywall today, so just the...

It's been a while again, but there's been quite a bit going on outside the tank - bought a house and had to halt the tank upgrade for a while. Also it looks like it's going to go in the basement,...

So I've not posted anything for a while, mostly because not a lot has happened - apart from my ballasts exploding. Really, they actually did explode..

Anyway after much messing around a new...

So another update - the Mollys have a new home and I've been to the fish shop again! :biggrin:

I had been wondering what I should add next that would keep up with the clown. The options were a...

Thanks for the pointers, the clown isn't actually that large - about 1.5 - 2". It isn't always attacking the Mollys - just every now and then it seems to have a hissy fit...

If I could find a...

So another update..

The snails have been working hard over the past couple of weeks and the hermits have been doing their bit too. You can see a lot more white patches on the rocks now. It's...

Uh-oh.. Will they go after the turbo snails (who are twice their size)? I was under the impression that they ate detritus from the sandbed when I bought them, though I heard afterwards that they went...

Thanks for the welcome - does it ever strike you as ironic that we're keeping saltwater fish about as far away from the sea as you can get? :lol:

Hi,

Thanks for the advice on the water change. I'd read you weren't supposed to change the water while cycling unless the ammonia got high enough to kill your live rock, but this was looking a bit...

SmallFry's first tank.. (27g FOWLR)

Thought I'd keep a log of how it's going - you never know, someone might be interested! :biggrin:

So after what seemed like ages, I finally got some water mixed up and in the tank, I also got my...
