steveoutlaw October 9, 2008 October 9, 2008 OK, ok......I know I said that the 90 was the last tank build. BUT......because I'm able to use the same stand and canopy my wife allowed me to replace the 90g with hang on sump with a 120g. Yauger is coming over tomorrow to give me a hand and it should be a pretty quick switch out. Pictures to come.
gsedlack October 10, 2008 October 10, 2008 Steve adding/replacing a tank.....somehow I think that will have a calming effect on the world. Serenity is close at hand and all is right with the world.
Lunker October 10, 2008 October 10, 2008 Steve, I can assume that you did get the 120g home. If you need additional help, please let me know.

steveoutlaw October 12, 2008 Author October 12, 2008 Steve, I can assume that you did get the 120g home. If you need additional help, please let me know. Ron - Yep......I got the tank home and painted this past week. Josh Yauger helped me break down the 90g and get the 120g setup yesterday. I've been busy getting all of the plumbing taken care of so I haven't had time to take any pics. I should have some up tomorrow. Thanks for the offer to help. Steve you switch more tanks than chip switches thongs Ok, that's just nasty. Not the image I wanted burned into my memory.
steveoutlaw October 12, 2008 Author October 12, 2008 Here are some pics of the tank now that the dust has settled a little. I'm pretty happy with the aquascaping since I did it with no lights on and the water too murky to see what I was doing!! FTS Left side Middle Right side Sump I'll post more once I get the light fixture mounted in my canopy.
steveoutlaw October 12, 2008 Author October 12, 2008 Looking good man. Where'd you get that light from? Thanks James. The light is an Aquactinics Solar Flare (the one powered by Icecap). I got it off a guy on RC for a killer price. I think I'm going to have to play with the bulb combination to get a bluer look.
jason the filter freak October 12, 2008 October 12, 2008 Looking good, you should get that beautiful RBTA out of the corner
trockafella October 13, 2008 October 13, 2008 Steve its lookin good, have to make a trip down the street to see it... Then again i didnt expect anything less than near perfection from you...
MLazar October 13, 2008 October 13, 2008 Steve, Your tank looks awesome, really like the aquascaping. Maureen
Sugar Magnolia October 14, 2008 October 14, 2008 (edited) That really looks nice Steve. Is the coral bothered by the RBTA at all? Edited October 14, 2008 by Sugar Magnolia
Ne0eN October 14, 2008 October 14, 2008 Looks good Steve. First in line when you decide to break it down and sell it... --Rob
Lunker October 14, 2008 October 14, 2008 Your right Steve, your aquascaping in the blind did turn out very nice. May we all be that successful.
steveoutlaw October 14, 2008 Author October 14, 2008 very nice...u happy with the flare? Extremely happy. Looking good, you should get that beautiful RBTA out of the corner I'm going to try to turn that rock this week. That really looks nice Steve. Is the coral bothered by the RBTA at all? Yes......actually there are 3 RBTAs attached to that rock and none of them will move.
steveoutlaw October 16, 2008 Author October 16, 2008 Three RBTA's hmmm...want to share? I'd like to put one up for sale, but I can't get them off the rock. any ideas??
Sugar Magnolia October 17, 2008 October 17, 2008 (edited) I've heard of two different methods. Aiming a powerhead at the foot or gently prying your fingernail under the foot. I'd think the risk of hurting the anem is much worse if you try prying it up. I've also heard that you can hold a bag of ice against it's foot, but that doesn't sound like a good idea IMO. I have two very sick BTA's at the moment that I'm giving to Dave Lin so he can see if he can get them to recover. The original was never really healthy, (bought it bleached) and it's been in a steady decline now for months. Long, long split - I finally took a razer (per Ozzie at BRK suggestion) and slit the final flesh. Both anems moved away from each other and have yet to fill out. One won't come out from under the rock. I'll be pulling the rock either monday or tuesday during a water change and plan to try the powerhead method to get them off. I'll let you know how it goes. First in line for a RBTA! Edited October 17, 2008 by Sugar Magnolia
WallyBackm October 29, 2008 October 29, 2008 Steve, looking great. i also am almost done transfering my 72 over to a 120. Curious what is holding up the frag rack.
steveoutlaw November 1, 2008 Author November 1, 2008 (edited) Curious what is holding up the frag rack. It's all gravity, leverage.......and luck! The frag-rack is glued to a magfloat. Edited November 8, 2008 by steveoutlaw
GaryL November 1, 2008 November 1, 2008 It's all gravity, leverage.......and luck! sans the engineering goby i remember you once having..i hope
steveoutlaw November 20, 2008 Author November 20, 2008 Ok, time for some updated pics. Here is the tank as of 11-19-2008: FTS: Left Side: Middle: Right Side: And, the triplets:
