Livestock pics are not working but I think it's interesting what you did with that Bosch stuff. Is that cantilevered tank really sturdy that sorta freaks me out!

What's with that box of relays? Did you make that enclosure too or is that some sort of pre made device?

Lookings forward to the newest pics maybe your bandwidth was exceeded.

Thanks for the kind words.

The pics seem to be working for me, not sure what's going on. The bosch extrusion is working out great. The leveling feet gave me adjustment to make the tank level. The small fuge tank is super sturdy. It's attached with bosch gussets. It's not going anywhere, lol. I built that box of relays so that I could use one 24vdc power supply to run my moon lights and cooling fans. Basically, used my timer bar to fire one set of AC relays for moon lights, and the other set for the cooling fans when my MH lights come on. After about a month, the relay contacts welded from the on/off switching. I've since removed that box, and just added a second 24vdc power supply. Now I just use the timer to supply each 24vdc power supply when I want it on.

Finally some LOOOOOONG overdue updates..... Don't have pics of ALL the corals and fish, but you get the idea.

Pic of my monti with actinics. I know, I'm not a professional photographer, lol.

The circled red is what the monti started as about 1 year ago. Crazy how fast it's grown, and it's been fragged already too.

Some shots of my 2 frogspawns.

My torch.

Coraline growth on the dry rock from marco rocks

This started as a 4 head frag. Now it's so crowded there's no room. lol. There's at least 20 heads on there now. Tang posed with it for pic.

Finger leather. Started out as just 1 of those fingers, lol, now it's a monster.

My true percs with their RBTA.

Flame hawk fish.

My watchman goby. This guy has been with me since day 1.

LOL! You know it's dinner time when....

And finally, a couple FTS.

That's it that's all folks.

Looks good, I usually don't like tall tanks but you seem to have used it to your advantage. Nice work.

Not sure how I missed this thread before today's bump but man I gotta say I really like what you've done with the stand with the risers, the drip tray and some seriously tidy electrical panels there. Nice!

Where can you get these Bosch extrusion parts?

kookie_guy · #18 01-24-2011, 07:48 PM

Thanks for the kind words. I got the bosch extrusion from work. We go through a lot of it so there's always some laying around. If you go on the bosch website you can find local dealers.
