worm5406 May 13, 2013 Author Share May 13, 2013 (edited) Well took me a bit but the sump is 1/2 done. Last few pieces going in tonight then let it cure for 48 hours. Just had gotten busy with my kids and the open baffle was working fine for now. But I am finally getting the new one baffled up.

roni June 28, 2013 Share June 28, 2013 Bud is Bud Carlson. He's a guy who's been building really nice acrylic algal turf scrubbers for those of us who are not DIY inclined. His website is: https://www.turbosaquatics.com/vb4/forum.php?s=4a9c9e499e40ef8fbc2d817b647ae948 Really good site for ATS in general and his products specifically. Really good guy and probably the best product support I've ever seen. His email is: Bud Carlson <bud@turbosaquatics.com>; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm5406 June 28, 2013 Author Share June 28, 2013 +3 Really good support. It took me a week to get mine once I ordered it. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks. Someone fell through in getting it to he sent it to me. He has also updated the build and design. It is a better design/flow now. Bud is Bud Carlson.

smallreef November 3, 2013 Share November 3, 2013 Very pretty new additions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm5406 November 3, 2013 Author Share November 3, 2013 ALL of those beauties were purchased from Quantum Reefs in Springfield. Those guys were off the hood today. I got up at 6am and a friend of mine and I headed to Lancaster. Went to a LFS there. We had called ahead yesterday and they 'had' a green gig. I should have had them send us a picture. Needless to say when we got there, we left with only a box of salt. Yeah 2.5 hour drive and all. On the way back down, decided to stop by QR, in Springfield. Got there and they had just returned from a frag/coral/stuff run at a wholesaler. WOW... Red Haddoni... and pink tipped elegance coral. ARGH.... I can not believe it. I will post updates as things progress. Thanks QR... They really do make you feel like you are at home, and they still had Haloween candy out.

worm5406 November 4, 2013 Author Share November 4, 2013 Yesterday the Haddoni has been settling in more. Slowly trying to get that foot to the bottom of the tank, through the sand. It does not have much more to go. Mouth staying taught and everything. It was reported it had been QT for 2 weeks proir at the wholesalers. Have not fed it yet, will prob do it at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm5406 January 7, 2014 Author Share January 7, 2014 (edited) So those are just some updates over the last month. Most are over the last 2 weeks. Hope you enjoy them. As you can see I am working on plumbing in the 120 inline with the 180 and sump. Also going to upgrade the 40b sump to a 75g.
