CA2OR Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Seriously, I wanted one of those ever since I got my first tank. I had to get one that is "like" the Solana just to ease my mind. and save money....of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 really? what tank do you have now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 a little 12g Nano. I just picked up a 36g acrylic with 30 display and 6 built on back refugium. You can see tank in DIY-30g project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 not quite as slick as a Solana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 thats still pretty cool though that you did a custom one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah....but it's no Solana. Gotta love the rimless.(icon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 yeah it is cool..how much did it cost to DIY your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well so far not much. I still dont have the tank up and running, I need sand and rock. But I traded a few Zoa's for the tank, and I am going to be building my own stand. I just picked this thing up at the goodwill for $2 to use as a stand until money gets a little better. So far I have only spent $152 on the tank. $150 for the MH and $2 for the stand. But I am working on all the rest starting either mon or tue. Unless someone has some ready to go sand and about 20 or so LBS of ready to go rock. I am probably going to get DIY rock from Dsoz. Wanareef is building his own acrylic tank. You should talk to him.

jason7504 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 wow that sounds pretty cool though..and not bad on the price..what kind of zoa's were they? building your own stand huh..that takes some skills i wish i could but i dont have the right tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only traded about 25 or so polyps. As for the stand, I recruited some help. Wanareef is very good at that. He sent me diagrams and all of the stand, even helped me figure out how much wood I needed. In addition he seemed pretty willing to help build it. He has most the tools. Another one to ask is Snowpunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason7504 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 do you guys wash your "live sand" in a bag? i think i will, even though some of the bacteria (if its still alive) would die, it will still be reseeded from my LR..and i dont want to have to much cloudiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellw Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I didn't. The "wet" stuff isn't supposed to be as bad as dry, but it did cloud my water pretty good for a couple of hours. I have a pretty fine filter sock, so it cleaned up pretty quickly. But I don't think a quick rinse in saltwater would hurt it, either.
