I've really enjoyed your thread, it was one of the original threads that inspired a lot of ideas for my tank.

Thanks for straightening me out...

I would like to get a bigger tank it's just that money thing.

I really like them but a 180 or 210 would fit so nice into my stand with little modification.

Cprowler · 10/07/2009, 09:53 PM

I like the new look of the site, when did that happen?

210 it is then...time to start saving up...hehe...the site has been like this for a few weeks...had to find where they hid all the buttons but it seems to be working out well.

Cprowler · 10/07/2009, 10:57 PM

Yea it's very similar to our Canadian reef site so not that big of a change for me.

The home page looks quite plain and underwhelming to me but what do I know.

Cprowler · 10/07/2009, 11:00 PM

Just looked at the homepage again, I guess it's not that bad. TOTM pic could be a bit bigger.

I guess I missed Marc's call when he was looking for Ideas.

thejuggernaut · 10/07/2009, 11:03 PM

haha...i wonder if that guy has groupies at macna....i might need to start a pod cast

Thanks!

It's doing well, I'm going to try and do a update on everything this weekend along with pics.

Cprowler · 10/08/2009, 07:22 PM

The wife just caught me at the tank with a tape measure...this is going to take a whole lot of arguing...and if she doesn't understand we'll just have to argue some more.

thejuggernaut · 10/08/2009, 11:40 PM

haha..now thats hilarious...just tell her its an investment in your future!

jnarowe · 10/09/2009, 11:00 AM

Tell her you don't tell her what size clothes to wear, and she doesn't tell you what size tank to have.

Just make sure you put on a helmet first!

jnarowe · 10/09/2009, 11:39 AM

I think that goes without saying. Shin guards would be good too.

Electrobes · 10/09/2009, 08:14 PM

And a cup.

jnarowe · 10/09/2009, 08:51 PM

no doubt.

I'm going to try today, it's a holiday and long weekend up here so I'm still good.

Cprowler · 10/12/2009, 05:39 PM

Here is a quick end shot I just took.

I'm taking waiting till the sun goes down to get more pics, harsh shadows to deal with.

delphinus · 10/12/2009, 06:09 PM

How big is that chromis ?!

I'm pleasantly surprised that your ritteri has stayed a modest size.

Tank looks great.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cprowler · 10/12/2009, 06:23 PM

Hi Tony, it's about 3" nose to tip of the tail.

The nem was getting quite large but split twice then I switched from 10k xm's to 15k xm's and it didn't like that much so I put in one of my 1yr old 10k's back in.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Cprowler · 10/12/2009, 06:35 PM

Here is a pic with the glare from the windows

...

You can see everything is moved out, sump, equip, control panel.

A 6' tank will fit in nice with some minor modifications, then I can put a new skin on it and it's like a whole new tank and stand....well I guess it would be....

Cprowler · 10/13/2009, 06:32 PM

As far as stocking goes for the upgrade, I'm going to go for more of a mixed reef rather than a SPS dominated mixed.

I'm going to keep the Nem and clowns and everything I have now and ad more fish, LPS, and zoos/rics.

I am just going to try to keep it simple and just worry about CA & Alk. Having 27 different additives and 27 different test kits and all the stress is not for me.

I may ad some new SPS frags but if the only SPS I can keep alive are Montys and Digis, so be it.

Anyway..............
