Awesome!....camping here for more updates

i hope i'll have updates.. haha..

*Gasp* You are cycling the tank with doggy...? :o

Nice tank, bro! ^_^

i've seen alot of reefers placing their own dogs into their new tanks before any cycling, i'm just following the trend :P

when i first got my puppy, he was also in a "tank" displayed, waiting to be sold.. hahaha...

let him reminisce his younger puppyhood days.. :lol:

yea bro you are back! love reading this kind of thread for update (with pictures and stories) camping here too!

hope to upload more pictures, than writing long "essays" :idea:

personally i dont like to write too much as well..

this thread is for me to see the progress of my tank...

and i would definately prefer to see pictures, than long writings when i read back next time.. hahaha

hope to see your underwater world in time to come... :thumbsup:

cant wait to start too! haha.. to me the process of setting up and starting is the most fun part of this hobby.. i know i'm wierd.. lol

Nice looking tank bro. I notice the external overflow compartment is quite deep. Does it really need to be so?

no dont have to be... i'm quite loss over this when the tank maker ask me if i wanted half length or full length... the pipes will come down from the overflowbox into the cabinet below... so i guess a shorter external overflow, you'll need longer pipes, while a longer one, you wont see much pipes from outside..

welcome back ignatious... that was fast, you came my house to bring me the zoos, and now you got your 4 footer!! wootzy man!!! WAY TO GO... ;) can't wait for you to start stocking up in a months time.

yea i cant wait too!!! actually i realise i didnt rest very long, although it seemed very long.. i decommed at the end of March, and now its the start of May.. I only "rested" for 1 month! hahahaha...

welcome back ... camping ... what will be your concept for this tank ? :rolleyes:

concept for this tank... hmmmm...

wont be all SPS tank.. haha.. thats for sure... (everyone seem to be into SPS now)

more of mixed reef, towards more fishes...

the main reason for my upgrade is for me to house more fishes,

to keep those that i was not able to do so with my previous 2ft cube...

mainly fishes, some basic LPS, and maybe some SPS...

but i would love to have a nice collection of zoas :D

Nice Tank, nice dog, Iggy. Wow, yr tank will receive many blessings, being next to the altar. A good start to Easter.:thumbsup:

You can come over my place, with a cutter and have sps frags, but you do the fragging. Too stressful for me to do it. And butter fingers and failing eye sight too.:paiseh:

Cheers

Underwater cam? Try Olympus... tough and pretty handy without the need for external casing. Maybe can get the older model, lower pixels but much cheaper. Anyway, anything more than 6 mega pixels can print 8R size liao.. if for web use, 2-3 mega pixel is more than enough.
