fishboys Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Well I am starting a tank build. Nothing fancy and kinda uninspired but easy enough for me to do, well with a little help from my friends. First step was picking out a granite slab and having it cut and polished.

fishboys Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) So after that was ordered and delivered it was time to start getting boxes ready to be opened for the record that was maybe half of the boxes I received. I have plenty more to open before I finish Edited October 4, 2016 by fishboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ok now it's time to start separating fasteners for the job at hand. Might be a few different styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well Troy how Is the stand coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) So a little adjustment will be needed once the tank is on top of the stand. Close enough for now though. Edited October 4, 2016 by fishboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Lunch time. First we start with garden fresh tomatoes and salt, simmer down for hours until excess water is gone. Then press through a sieve then add it back to the pan, add a couple cloves of garlic. Simmer until thick and rich. Add 2 ghost, 2 habanero, 2 jalapeno the 2 serronto peppers. I had cut the tomato base in half but had to add it back in due to the fact I couldn't breathe after an attempt to smell the fruits of my labor. There is something to be said about your lungs being filled with capsaicin, nothing good to be said but something nonetheless. So extra tomato sauce and a couple extra cans of beans and we arrive at a very very spicy but manageably edible with surprisingly good flavor, maybe because of the elk burger with no added fat was the meat of choice. I had to put some cream cheese into a friend of mines bowl. Since he isnt on this forum I will say that was a weak move on his behalf.I did forget to mention the other spices I put in the chilli but those are the ones I would have to drown you in your own tank if you found out about them.Pretty standard corn bread except we add honey in the batter so it does get a little gooey Edited October 4, 2016 by fishboys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
