That book was sweet I never know there was such cool stuff off are coast! I really need to go tide pooling with everyone the next time.

Those are great looking tanks I would look in to shipping your stuff over there is lots of stores/people that may take them for a short time. There is high density of people with large frag tanks in the area.

It was a great meeting. Pics won't do it justice, should been there it was lots of fun (drinking) and so much great info.

Well it's up running with no leaks at all not even a little drip from the bulkheads. (clap) I got the rock in and there is a few crabs and snails that hitchhiked in on the rock. Sand tomorrow and possibly fish.

The rock work is not what it use to be, had to brake some of it to get it out so I will work on it more but hey it's running again I'm happy.

I would like 2 also.

That would be cool but I had to send it back to marineland all the water damage and pics where not enought to convince them it leaked so they wanted it.

Well so far so good it was holding strong when I left to work.(clap) but then again it's only has 50 gallons in it!!

Got it that paint finished first time I have used plasti dip and so far I like it covers glass well only took 2 cans to cover to sides it took 4 cans of rust oleum last time.

My wife came home just after it was finished with the painting. She was with 4 of her Friends so I convince them to help me move the tank inside. It took some fast talking and some slightly misleading tank weights lol (rock2)

But all and all not to bad. I pick up the tank today at 2pm and it's filling with salt water at 8:30pm

Round 3' date=' I think yes?[/quote']

[language filter] yes your right but this is round 2 with the 200 (cussing)

Well it's funny I was thinking about doing a build thread of my tank the couple days right before it crashed so now on my new tank I guess I can start A build thread as I go this time.

In the process of plasty diping the sides and back of the tank

Love that shot of the grouper!!!

Unfortunately' date=' most cichlids don't do well with plants. On second thought, I guess it's the plants that don't do well with the cichlids. There are some beautiful dwarf cichlids: Altispinosa, German Blue Ram, and Electric Blue Ram come to mind. I've been on plantedtank.net for a while now. Great info there. That tank is my 75 I've had for about three years.[/quote']

 

Oh man I need to do some digging probably on the plantedtank I would like to find a happy medium and get some live plants and my cichlids

I tried that a few years ago it works great for about a week lol the fish just dig to much to let the plants get a good hold in the substrat plus most chichlid will nip at the plants slowly eating them till they just die. I can work just have to keep buying new plants. Dwarf is your best bet.

Most tanks we keep have a big enough foot print that the weight is not a problem I had 450g of water in 8'x2' of space in a Mobile home and it had less presher per square foot the if all my family came over for Christmas and stood in the corner yes are tanks are heavy but they are also large enought that the floors can handle it

[language filter] I got my hope up for nothing.

That's pretty sweet' date=' especially for the price. I'm still holding out for the mindstream monitor...if it ever comes out :'([/quote']

Is that getting close to being able to work like they say I Heard about that a year or two but it sould like it was more like a cool idea but the Technology was not there yet?

BABY I want this for Christmas wait wait wait i NEED this for Christmas (AI prime)(naughty)(clap)(drooler)

Brave or foolish' date=' all depends on the results :p[/quote']

 

Well I would wish this outcome on no one I wish you the best and I'm sure your tank will work out great I love my 60g cube I justs keep wanting bigger lol

There is more than just the tank involved. Because of the tank failure' date=' there is water damage to the walls, floors, and equipment loss. Marineland is liable for the tank at minimum. Possibly even the collateral damages. It depends on how it is handled by the insurance company. The homeowners insurance could pay the claim and then go after Marineland through subrogation if Marineland doesn't come through willingly.[/quote']

 

At the moment both are trying to get out of it.(flame)(wife)

Pm me the details I have 10 years welding fitting experience.

Hey there is the link lol thanks vans.

Yeah and that was the first thing they said but the have change that plus there is a law saying you can't void a warranty on something cuz you didn't purchase another one of there products.

Yeah and the stand has nothing to do with the seam blowing if it was the stand it would of collapsed when I filled it and it never settled funny cuz I put a 4'leveal on it as it was leaking and it was perfectly level in all directions.

Ok so marine land is given me problems saying my stand is not strong enough its 2x6 on the top with 3 2x4 in each corner and 1/2 ply on the top and three sides can anyone give me som info on what this could possibly hold thanks

You are a brave men lol

Wow way to brake the mold of the online retailers rapping the hobbyist. Great work
