Ah crap. Wasn't prepared for that.

This post officially ends this tank. It sits dirty and grimy, waiting for a shutdown. The bubble algae is so completely rampant that it covers every single surface and coralline is growing on it. I have cut a ton of coral and moved it over to the 20 gal in hopes of saving it. Everything gets a major dip in Coral RX and Peroxide, just to be on the safe side. Most of the hardware will make its way to the new tank, along with half the fish and some inverts too.

I'd like to thank Rich, Peter, Wayne, Hung, Jess, Ryan, Chris, The 2 Dave's, Greg, Mike, Thomas, Ian, March, Tim T., Laurie, John, and that Jeff guy at J&L for all their help and encouragement along the way!

EPISODE II : Attack Of The Aiptasia

It's been three years without a tank and it's time to scratch the itch. So I thought, why not build it myself?
Found a local glass fabricator that was willing to work with me. 1/2 inch glass, 3 sides Starphire, all edges polished.
49 x 19 x 16 1/2. Works out to about 60 gallons.







Leak test.



Held water for over a week with heater and powerhead.



Then Rich helped getting it in the house.

OK OK, get out of the way... you're blocking the view!





Still had to silicone the weir in.



Went with an unconventional weir design. Just wanted to cover the overflow box, and keep the piping exposed. It'll all get covered in coralline anyhow.

Little bit of work in the stand.



New techno roller thingy, all the rage these days.



Just as I started making water, I thought I'd update the firmware on the Apex classic. Long story short, I crashed it, opened a ticket, and fixed it over the course of 24 hours. What a nightmare.
