![]() ![]() I had no choice is time for a upgrade . Yes that is duct tape holding my tank together I have a steal brace now but the tape worked in a pinch. The centre brace broke on my tank about a month ago I did try to re silicone but I have no faith in my repair and neither did my wife but that's a good thing ![]() This means new bigger tank for me and it should be here in about a week or so .The only problem is if I get a new tank my wife wants new carpet and the current tank sits on the old carpet so it should be a few long days to do the switch over. Lucky I won't be installing the carpet I leave that one to the pros . The current tank is 84 gallons the new one will be about 150 the dimensions are 56.5L 24w 26 h . The finishing touches are just about done at Conccept Aquatics. ![]() Time to start making water ![]() ![]() Last edited by WarDog; 02-07-2016 at 06:34 PM. |

![]() Woohoo upgrade
![]() We replaced our carpet a year ago before I started our current tank If you haven't thought about it already, I'd suggest you put a couple thousand screws into your floors before the new carpet goes in Our floors were very dry and squeaky, but now all is quiet |

![]() I am going to need to add a molding around the top of my stand to cover the plywood the aquarium is built on . Does any one know where I can get maple moldings ? I checked Home Depot all they have is pine and oak . I built my stand out of maple plywood and I want it to match as closely as I can get it .

![]() Looks great... If I could make a friendly suggestion. Your powerbars worry me with possible splashing over or salt creep. You may want to make an umbrella or cover so you don't gave electrical issues/fire a simple acrylic or something to be sure water doesn't touch the power bars.

![]() I haven't done a update on my tank journal for some time I have just been so busy with work summer as I'am sure you can all relate.
In case your wondering the new upgrade tank was doing great ! All the corals sps were responding well and encrusting and growing nicely . But it happened to me I have been dealing with a huge tank crash I think I have lost around twenty or so corals. It started with a little bleaching and than it just went out of control from there . What I have left is a few zoanthids and a green and red monti cap . I have had a salt water tank for the last five years . I started with a 33 gal and than a 90 gal and just last march I got my custom 152 gal so this is not new to me but the crash was . Since I have a lot of room I thought I would post some pictures of the new aquascaping . It give the tangs lots of room to swim around . There is lots of sweet new spots for new sps frags !!!! ![]() ![]() Sorry for the crappy iphone photos . The little man has been a big help withe the crash he is allways up for a water change ![]() |
