trockafella December 14, 2012 December 14, 2012 Dan, can I have my old tank back now.!! Whats this new tank you speak of.?
zoozilla December 14, 2012 Author December 14, 2012 Ha, never!! Actually, the tank was picked up a couple of days ago by some nice folks off of craigslist and is now good hands. Lucky for me the tank didn't sit too long. I was leasing space in front of the washer/dryer and the wife wasn't too pleasant about it. Well, it's a new "used" tank. Details to follow Dan, can I have my old tank back now.!! Whats this new tank you speak of.?
trockafella December 14, 2012 December 14, 2012 Looking forward to it Dan, you always do a very nice job on your tanks.! I will miss that tank... Well, I dont miss carrying it..
zoozilla December 14, 2012 Author December 14, 2012 Man, what a tease!!! Steve, I do my best Looking forward to it Dan, you always do a very nice job on your tanks.! I will miss that tank... Well, I dont miss carrying it.. Thanks Travis. Don't remind me it! Though, it seemed much easier getting it here than taking it out this time around. That slight grade in my back yard really hurt.
matt January 4, 2013 January 4, 2013 Any update? Stumbled onto this thread and wow! ...and you must be just down the road to boot cheers - matt
zoozilla January 12, 2013 Author January 12, 2013 Several weeks ago, I decided on a slight upgrade. So long 150 DT. I kept all of the fish and sold off some of the corals. Replacing it with a 180 Gallon Oceanic RR from FF (Thanks Sean!):
zoozilla January 12, 2013 Author January 12, 2013 I added some extra braces to the manufacturer's stand and painted the back glass black.
zoozilla January 12, 2013 Author January 12, 2013 The tank was already drilled with 2 x 1.5" holes in the back glass for a closed-loop. In the mean time while deciding on a pump for the loop, I went ahead and added the plumbing and unions:
zoozilla January 12, 2013 Author January 12, 2013 Here's what I have so far. Still a bit cloudy. I need to add a 3rd light for the middle section.
Coral Hind January 13, 2013 January 13, 2013 You upgraded the tank just to get tank of the month again didn't you? From the looks of it, it shouldn't take you long. Nice job!
zoozilla January 13, 2013 Author January 13, 2013 You upgraded the tank just to get tank of the month again didn't you? From the looks of it, it shouldn't take you long. Nice job! Thanks David. Lol. Was just trying to make more room for future growth and swimming space for the fishies nice looking tank. Thanks Rob.
jamesbuf January 14, 2013 January 14, 2013 Looking good Dan!! I remember seeing that tank when you first set it up. I remember thinking, he it totally going to upgrade to a 6' long tank one day. I was right!!!!
Der ABT January 14, 2013 January 14, 2013 oo mama im glad that tank went to a good home, looks fantastic
zoozilla January 16, 2013 Author January 16, 2013 Wow! Looks nice Thanks Matt! Looking good Dan!! I remember seeing that tank when you first set it up. I remember thinking, he it totally going to upgrade to a 6' long tank one day. I was right!!!! Hey there James. Long time man. Yep, I had some room to spare and the price was right on the tank. So, I saw an opportunity... Btw, congratz on getting hitched and becoming a new homeowner. You'll have more space now for that ultimate build! oo mama im glad that tank went to a good home, looks fantastic Thanks Evan. Glad the tank was still available when I finally decided to upgrade. I was actually surprised that it did not sell much sooner. very beautiful Dan....barebottom eh?... Thanks Billy! Full BB this time around. This is a big change for me since I've always had some amount of substrate even if it was less than 1/2". We'll see how it goes. But, should be much easier to keep clean.
zoozilla January 20, 2013 Author January 20, 2013 How did I miss this? Great job! Lol. It's easily missed Thank you!
