I agree

payyourtoll · 08/27/2007, 01:56 AM

like the rockwork

Looks good but it's time to take back the damsels.

Capt_Cully · 08/27/2007, 05:39 AM

I was just thinking that but I didn't want to sound like a jerk. Get those damsels out of there before you have tricky corals and other fish to get in the way of catching them.

you're going to want more interesting inhabitants in the future and they can become aggressive and VERY pesky to catch. Take it from me, I had to help a friend basically dismantle his 135, and remove ALL his LR to get rid of 3 damsels that were hasseling his other inhabitants.

my 2cents....

big_s · 08/27/2007, 06:27 AM

yeah that the plan man they are so hard to take out. I am trying. How do i go about painting the backround after it is all set up? And thanks guys for the comments.

JMDAD · 08/27/2007, 06:54 AM

nice looking tank. ...Especially for that short period of time! What kind of lights are you using and what does your sump look like?

hmello@bermexin · 08/27/2007, 07:02 AM

Back does not have to be painted. You can get a flim that goes on from your LFS. Is you clown hosting in your torch? Very nice setup.

BigScott · 08/27/2007, 09:34 AM

nice job, but dump the damsels.. if you dont youll regret it later..im still trying to catch the 4 i got..an two of them are breeders..

Very nice tank, it looks older than just 40 days. I think I see some coralline starting to spread.

mg426 · 08/27/2007, 10:31 AM

Nice job !

big_s · 08/27/2007, 03:30 PM

thanks guys todays mission is to get the dammmmmm sels out. Wish me luck. And going to buy some paint aswell what u guys think blue or black? For lights i am using one 65 watt sunpaq dual actinic (420nm+460nm) and one 65 watt sunpaq dual daylight (6700k+10000k) and 2 lunar lights super white l.e.d's. As far as a sump goes don't got one yet. I think i will wait till i set up my 125g. And i just orderd a skimmer for the one i have now. I also have 10g QT with about 10 pounds of fully cured LR and 10 pounds of live sand. For emergency purposes. Thanks again guys makes me feel good to hear feedback.

chunchma · 08/27/2007, 03:48 PM

I like the rock work as well. How do you like the water movement thingy on the back of the tank. I forgot what they call them. Is it really large? I want to get one for my 30 gallon, I was afraid the fish would get caught in it some how.

big_s · 08/27/2007, 08:19 PM

ita called a horalia man i love it for constant flow works really good with my 2 maxi 1200's. And no i have not had any problems with fish getting caught in it. It is a fair size but worth the space it needs.

But i failed one aspect takin them damm damsels out. And ideas?

big_s · 08/29/2007, 05:44 PM

how do i get these damsels out? Day three and they are still in there.

Chibils · 08/29/2007, 05:48 PM

Very carefully.

jsr · 08/29/2007, 05:49 PM

Let me ask, how did you paint the glass with it so close to the paneling? Or, was the paneling able to be removed. My tank is 3 inches off the wall and I want to paint the back without draining.

big_s · 08/29/2007, 05:52 PM

mine is about 8 inches i did not move it and the panels did not come of it was a little bit hard but managed. Good luck with 3 inches that will be hard.
