now you can see why i named the thread impressive set-ups, i dont know how many replies i will get, not many guys can compaire their systems with playas, but its not a competition, id just like to see some set-ups, dont be shy to add your here

Playa-1 · 01/18/2009, 09:46 AM

Hahaha that's not mine

. I think it might have been one of the TOTM owners equipment rooms. I just saved it because it was intense. Mine is much more simple, If I ever clean it up I will shoot some pics.

baldomero · 01/18/2009, 10:08 AM

oh cause i saw that pic and thought jesus christ it looks like an operation room haha

I have yet to see a setup here that was not impressive. They all rock.

shuguley · 01/18/2009, 10:38 AM

WOW! That person is either insane or brilliant. How the heck would he remember the direction of all the flow and where everything goes? Hope he has a good schematic, I counted like 16 ball valves. Too many points of possible failure for me. Kudos though, it's awesome and I'm jealous.

Michael · 01/18/2009, 10:43 AM

well it blew me away, i thought it was playas, hes a good guy and fairplay to him stating it wasnt his, im out of space already, i need a refugium and my top off is going to go from under my tank so i can fit it in, i would love a tank room like that, wow

Playa-1 · 01/18/2009, 11:00 AM

Thanks for the kind words. The guys I NV are the guys that have a full unfinished basement to work with. How cool that would be. ;D. I'm sure I would get carried away and go way overboard so It's probably better that I don't have access to one.

7faces · 01/18/2009, 12:03 PM

Since This is in the newbie section, and this is my first tank I figured it was fitting...not sure if anyone would call it impressive or not but heres the link to my build...

Michael · 01/18/2009, 12:07 PM

yes its impressive, well done, seriously jealous here

tcmfish · 01/18/2009, 12:18 PM

That is weatherson's tank. He has one tank of the month maybe twice? but at least once. A lot of his stuff is DIY and there is no reason it can't be replicated, he has a thread on here somewhere and it is very informative. Let me see if I can dig it up....

Thanks, It's been up and running since july, and right now i'm going through the blooms and new tank syndrome like everyone else does....I think I've had every algae known to man so far.
Hair, diatoms, macro, bubble..etc...
